Gamecocks str
By BRANT LONG
Assistant Sports Editor
The Virginia Tech Hokies can't be very happy with
Collin Mackie.
With 52 seconds left in Saturday night's game between
the Gamecocks and the Hokies, Mackie's
33-vard field eoal evened the game at 17-17. once
again denying the Hokies a victory.
Last year, Mackie's field goal late in the game gave
the Gamecocks a 26-24 victory at Blacksburg. This
year, both teams will have to setde for a tie.
With under a minute left in the game, though, both
squads had a chance to win. Virginia Tech, was
forced to punt after three unsuccessful downs. With
12 ticks on the clock, and the ball on their own 38
yard line, the Gamecocks victory party was cancelled
by the Hokie defense, who sacked Todd Ellis twice to
end the game.
Sparky Woods commented on the tie, "Virginia
Tech played an excellent football game. They were
very physical. They took it to us."
A crowd of 71,824 at Williams-Brice Stadium
witnessed a see-saw start to the game with neither
team being able to move the football.
An Ellis to Robert Brooks 15-yard completion with
under eight minutes left in the period was the first
first down of the game. The play set up Harold Green,
who scampered 44 yards on the next play to give the
Gamecocks a 7-0 advantage.
The USC defense wasted no time on the Hokies
next possession as outside linebacker Mike Conway
intercepted Virginia Tech quarterback Will Furrer's
pass at the USC 49-yard line. Ellis drove the offense
down field and, at the 1:47 mark of the first quarter,
hit Brooks for a 13-yard touchdown pass. Mackie's
point-after attempt was good and the Gamecocks held
a solid 14-0 lead. Then, the Hokies took over.

uggle to tie
By mixing the passing of Furrer and the tough running
of tailback Jon Jeffries, Virginia Tech went 81
yards in 13 plays and scored on a 5-yard run by
Jeffries.
The Hokie defense forced a Rodney Price punt, and
the Furrer passing display continued. Completing 4 of
8 on the drive, the Hokies marched 81 yards again
and called on Jeffries for a 1-yard touchdown plunge.
After Mickey Thomas' extra point, Virginia Tech had

"Virginia Tech took the momentum away in the
second quarter," said Woods, "They played a lot
harder than we did. I was disappointed in our play in
the second quarter."
After an Ellis pass was picked off with under 10
minutes to play in the third quarter, Furrer once again
led the Hokie offense toward the end zone. The USC
defense held tight, and Thomas converted a 26-yard
field goal to give Virginia Tech their first lead at
17-14.
After exchanging possessions, and a Carl Piatt
fumble on a key third down conversion, the Hokies
moved down field. On fourth and eight, Virginia Tech
went for it, and Furrer completed another pass for a
first down.
Once again on fourth down, with less than a yard to
go for a touchdown, the Gamecock defense held the
Hokies and took over on downs.
With less than two minutes remaining to play, a series
of Ellis passes moved USC to the 16-yard line,
but three incompletes, including one to an open
Brooks in the end zone forced the Mackie field goal
to tie the game.
Both teams go to 1-0-1 on the season. The Gamecocks
travel to Morgantown, W.Va., to meet the West
Virginia Mountaineers Saturday, while Virginia Tech
plays host to Clemson.
