The loss sent the previously eighth-ranked and undefeated Gamecocks into a tailspin that lasted the rest of the season. What a difference a year can make. Saturday night at Williams-Brice Stadium, Green stimulated the USC offense by running, or hurdling, over many of the Yellow Jacket defenders.

"Now we know we can run the ball without having to jeopardize and throw a lot" Green believes the USC backfield is steadily improving. "We're getting better," Green said. "We're starting to convert more on third down, which is something I think we need every week from myself, Mike (Dingle) and Keith Bing.
