The USC football team has
moved senior Pat Turner from defense
to quarterback.
This change follows Todd Ellis'
season-ending knee injury, which
occurred in this past Saturday's
game against N.C. State.
Quarterback Dickie DeMasi will
still start against Florida State SatnrHav

"Coach Woods had a meeting
before practice (Monday) and told
us they were moving Pat to quarterback
because they felt it was
best for the team," said backup
quarterback Wright Mitchell.
At practice Monday, DeMasi
and Turner took the majority of
the snaps at quarterback, with
freshman Ben Hogan also taking a
few.

rterback
and the plays and get him acclimated
to playing quarterback
again," Mitchell said.
In 1986, after being redshirted
the previous year, Turner began a
battle with Ellis for the starting
quarterback job, but fell out ol
contention when he pulled his
hamstring. He also broke his collarbone
in the spring game.
As a reserve quarterback in
1986, Turner was 10 of 14 for 152
yards with two touchdowns and
one interception. He also rushed
11 times for 59 yards.
Turner transferred to Georgia
Tech in 1987. but returned te
USC, losing a year of eligibility.
In 1988, Turner was switched tc
defense, and he has been playing
as a linebacker and a safety this
season.
The move back to quarterback
could mean that Turner, should he
not see any game action at quarterback,
may not play another down
for the Gamecocks.
"Pat has been through a lot of
adversity here at USC." Mitchell
said. "And I'm sure he'll handle it
all right. I talked to him about it,
and he said he wants to do what's
best for the team."
Mitchell said the basis for the
decision to move Turner to quarterback
was the Gamecocks realistically
need to win two of their last
three games to receive a bowl bid.
With that in mind, and not wanting
to have to play a freshman (Hogan)
against a team like Florida
State, the coaches want to have
Turner in a position where he
would be able to start if he had to.
"What we'll do is take probably
a little bit of one game plan out,
and make that his game plan so
that he can just specialize in one
little oackage of a game nlan " said
quarterback coach Don Kirpatrick
at a press conference Monday.
Mitchell also noted that DeMasi
is still the No. 1 quarterback.
"Dickie has a great grasp of the
game," he said. "I think he'll do
all right."

The white squad defeated the
garnet, 63-61, in the first intrasquad
scrimmage for the USC basketball
team held Saturday at the
Carolina Coliseum.

captain of this year's squad, hit a
three-point shot with 43 seconds in

within two. Manning then stole a
pass and hit a jumper with one
second left to tie the game at 61.
After a fall on the ensuing inbounds
pass, Manning hit two free
throws to give the white the comeback
victory.

His longest run was 31 yards. Not
bad, but he has been playing defense
for the past two years at two
positions ? free safety and
linebacker.
Ben Hog^n has had limited
playing time as Ellis' "We're winning,
let's stick in the youngsier
'cause it won't hurt" backup this
season, hitting three of eight passes
for 47 yards. He led a scoring
drive late in the game against
Western Carolina.
Then there's Lance Harp,
Wright Mitchell, Bru Pender, Joey
Brett, John Wunder, Danny Willis.
Freshmen all.
None of them have stats like Ellis'
? 24 victories, 9,519 yards (if
you add in his bowl stats, he has
9,953 yards), 49 touchdowns and
the infamous 73 interceptions. The
NCAA doesn't recognize bowl
stats, but the USC record book
does. Those are records. .. .
And now he is gone. He'll be
missed.
