Ellis-less

Staff Writer
"If only . . . ? that was the
operative phrase in Gamecock
fans' minds after Saturday's 20-10
loss to N.C. State at WilliamsBrice
Stadium.
The "ifs" started coming on hard
and fast right after the kickoff.
un me mira piay or me game,
facing third and 8, Ellis dropped
back to pass.
Ellis overthrew an open Robert
Brooks and got hit on the knee by
Wolfpack linebacker Mark
Thomas.
If only Ellis hadn't gotten
hurt....
But he did get hurt, and Ellis'
rollercoaster era as the dominant
quarterback in Gamecock football
history ended, not with a bang, but
with him being carried off the field

While the trainers put ice on Ellis'
knee, N.C State drove for its
first touchdown of the afternoon
and backup quarterback Dickie
DeMasi started tossing practice
throws on the sideline.
Without Ellis, the Gamecocks
tried to come together, but it didn't
work out Tailback Harold Green
said the key to the game was
USC's lack of a passing game. DeMasi
was intercepted once, sacked
five times and fumbled away the
ball late in the game.
He completed four of 12 passes
for 65 yards.
In the first half, the defense kept
the game close, forcing the Wolfpack
to punt four times and recovering
two key fumbles.

hard," said USC head coach
Sparky Woods. "We chased the
football hard. We played against a
good offensive football team."
The Gamecocks recovered the
first fumble at their own 1-yard
line, preventing an N.C. State
touchdown. Wolfpack fullback
Todd Varn dropped the ball, and
Varn and USC safety Stephane
Williams scrambled after the ball,
which rolled out of the endzone.
Later, USC recovered a fumble
at the N.C. State 3-yard line.
Ironically, it was linebacker Pat
Turner, the former quarterback
who turned defensive back and
linebacker because he did not get
any playing time with Ellis in the
USC offensive picture for four
years, who recovered the fumble.
Three times Harold Green tried
to punch it in, but was unable to,
and the Gamecocks settled for a
Collin Mackie field goal.
Green said although they may
have scored from the 3-yard line if
runningback Mike Dingle, who did
not play because of a bruised
thigh, had played, it would not
have made a difference in the
outcome.
"I think that regardless of
whether we would have put it in
with Mike Dingle, you have to be
able to throw the ball," said Green,
who rushed for 115 yards on 26
carries.
On the first play of the fourth
quarter, Green took the ball, ran
into heavy traffic at the right sideline,
but broke several tackles and
cut left to get a 36-yard touchdown.
Mackie's extra-point tied
the game, 10-10.
But N.C. State came right back
and marched 72 yards on seven
plays and scored another
touchdown.
"I think they executed better
than we did," Woods said. "N.C.
State quarterback Shane Montgomery
played great."
Montgomery completed 22 of
31 passes for 294 yards and one
touchdown to lead the Wolfpack.
USC might have had enough
time in the fourth quarter to stage
a comeback, but DeMasi fumbled
the ball away when he was blindsided
on a blitz, which led to a
field goal putting the Wolfpack up
20-10, securing the victory.
The Gamecocks next play when
they travel to Tallahassee to face
nationally ranked Florida State

Gamecock forward Ruben Tufino eludes a Jack
phins Sunday at The Graveyard.
Soccer team si
By BRANT LONG
Assistant Sports Editor
Three first-half goals were all the lOth-ranked USC
soccer team needed to defeat the Dolphins of Jacksonville,
Fla., 3-0 in Sunday's match at The Graveyard.
The Gamecocks, playing their last regular-season
game before this weekend's Met Life Classic, outshot
Jacksonville 33-3.
It only took 11:38 before USC was on the board.
Junior midfielder Phil Seidenburg scored on an assist
by Scott Henderson for an early 1-0 lead.
"Jacksonville is a good team," USC head coach
Mark Berson said. "They're young. I think we were a
little bit fortunate to jump on them early in the first
half."
The Gamecocks had numerous shots, but could not
capitalize on a second goal until the 39:03 mark of the
first half. With the ball rolling out of bounds, sophomore
Andrew Coggins slid in and shot the ball into
the goal. Seidenburg and Greg Strehmel were credited
with the assist.
With under three minutes left in the half, the Gamecocks
got their third and final goal of the afternoon.
Junior Greg Strehmel scored the goal with the assist
going to Jeff Love and Ruben Tufino. The assist increases
Tufino's school record mark to 14.
USC again had many shots in the second half, but
could not convert. The Gamecocks settled for the 3-0
victory. Chris Foley and Spencer Lueders combined
for the shutout in the goal.
Berson said he was happy to get the victory.
"It was a big win for us," Berson said. "It enabled
us to finish with just one loss in the region and two
ties. It was very important from that aspect.
"I thought our team played well on the attack
. . . From an attcking standpoint we played very,
very well," he said. "We've been a little bit stagnant
until this point. I was pleased to see in the game the
way we attacked and the enthusiasm with which we
came out and played against a very good Jacksonville

team."
The game also gave Berson a chance to look at
some of the younger players on the team such as
Andy Ferguson and Adam Binding.
"The game enabled us to play some players that
have worked hard in practice down the stretch and
they came in and played well," Berson said.
With the win, USC improves to 13-2-2 and will
play host to the Met Life Classic on Saturday and
Sunday. This year's tournament features national powers
UCLA, Akron, and Howard, who defeated USC
this past season in the NCAA Final Four. Berson and
the Gamecocks are looking forward to the event.
"We know that the Met Life tournament offers us a
tremendous challenge .. . We need to play well and
we need to get ourselves ready to play in a big tournament
this weekend."
The NCAA South Region playoffs will begin soon
after the Met Life Classic. Berson admits that anyone
could win in the South Region.
"In the South Region right now, everything is up
for grabs. You can't really tell how everybody's
ranked. I would say certainly that Wake Forest will be
the top-seeded team. South Carolina and Duke are
neck-and-neck for number two and number three."
The Met Life Classic begins Saturday at The Graveyard
at noon with Howard versus Akron followed at
2 p.m. with the Gamecocks taking on UCLA. Sunday's
action features UCLA and Howard at noon and
USC against Akron at 2.
