Last year in Atlanta, USC runningback
Harold Green struggled
for only 55 yards on 16 carries in a
34-0 stomping at the hands of
Georgia Tech.
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. The Ladson native
ran for 139 yards on 29 car
nes, suiiieuiiies tanymg a icw

thought (Georgia Tech) had one of
the best defenses we've played this
year, and I really thought it would
get us in trouble if Harold didn't
have a great game. Of course, Harold
and our running game had a
great game."
At times Green looked unstoppable.
On the Gamecock's first possession,
following a 56-yard kickoff
return by Robert Brooks, Green
set up USC's first touchdown with
scampers of 7, 21, 6 and 5 yards.
Green had 91 yards piled up by
halftime and was actually .penalized
for jumping over a Georgia
Tech defender.
Green carried the ball 13 more
times than he previously had
against Georgia Tech, which he
credited with keeping the Yellow
Jacket defense in check.

"I think that was the key to
keeping our opponent's defense
honest, and it kept our backs really
confident and our offensive line really
confident," Green said. "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. Our backfield has
to keep their defense honest and
make them respect our running
game."

Georgia Tech head coach Bobby
Ross used this play to explain why
his team is now 0-3. "It still boils
down to when we get the opportunities
we must make the plays,"
Ross said. "We got a pass receiver
wide open and Shawn (Jones)

ball right on the money, and we're
