RDER. ourself [erff Jones*ONS tING THIS TIME. Miller lead: against Nort By RICH TAYLOR Staff Writer The UNC Tar Heels, fresh off a season-opening 34-0 pasting of Miami, Ohio, last weekend, invade Wiliiams-Brice Stadium Saturday for a 7 p.m. clash with USC. The No. 24 Gamecocks {The Gamecock Top 25 Poll) opened their season with a 21-10 thumping of the defending ACC cochampion Duke Blue Devils this past Saturday before an appreciative home crowd of 71,606. Especially impressive was a vastly improved, hard-hitting USC defense led by senior Ail-American candidate Corey Miller's three tackles and one sack. Miller, a 6-foot-3-inch, 255-pound defensive end from Pageland, S.C., is the mainstay of the defensive line in USC's new 4-3 defensive scheme. "I think the change to the 4-3 was good for us," Miller said. "It especially helped me. Last year I had to switch sides and follow the tight end wherever he lined up. With this new defensive front, we have two outside rushers, as opposed to last year when we basically had just ?*ie. "We have four quality ends with Ernest Dixon, Trent Simpson, Troy Duke and myself. This gives us more depth and, therefore, a more consistent pass rush. "We knew coming into the (Duke) game that we had to pressure Billy Ray a lot. We worked on it all week and prepared ourselves." One of the most improved players on USC's squad this year is 6-foot-4-inch, 234-pound sophomore defensive end Troy Duke. Miller has nothing but praise for his backup on the line. "Troy is a great ballplayer. What I know, I try to pass on to him, and he works really hard," Miller said. "It's good to know you've got a guy like him playing behind you. When I get fatigued, he can come in and there won't be much of a letdown." Despite UNC's 1-10 record last year, Miller insists the Gamecocks are not taking the Tar Heels lightly. "I think they may have some sour grapes against us," he said. "They felt they should have beat us last year (a 27-20 USC win), and they are looking forward to Wm I Friday Se I Public I Saturday S I Voodoo Chili w/Bi Sunday Sep. 9 I ACOUSTIC I on the di Monday Sep. 10 I BLUES JAM I JAZZ on the Tuesday S< Phydea Wednesday S ROOT DOC; Thursday S< I Moja N I REMEMBER-l PURPLE PI I FRI "ALL ABC REGULATIOf s defense li Carolina itCorey Miller coming in and playing us. We've prepared hard this week for these guys, and we'll be ready to play. "UNC has a lot of good athletes with good speed," Miller said. "After watching film of their game last week, I think they have really good tailbacks and receivers. They do more sprint-out passing than drop-back passing. This will make it a little harder to get to the quarterback, but I guarantee you we'll be fired up and ready to go." The Miller-led defense is looking to build on their successful performance against Duke. "Our philosphy is that we won the first one and we're proud of that win, but we know we have to prepare each week to get better," Miller said. "Opponents are going to get tougher and tougher, and we just try to get better day in and day out." Duke quarterback Billy Ray called Miller "a stud" after last Saturday's game. Miller's reaction? "At first I thought it was pretty funny. It did make me feel good that I got a little respect from a great quarterback, but I don't let that kind of thing give me a big head." Being a team leader, proprospect, and legitimate All American candidate does not seem to bother or distract Miller from being a team-oriented player. Ct ? 11 r* i m reaiiy proua to oe a pan or this team," he said. "We've worked really hard, and we'll keep working hard. Individually, I just try to do everything I can to help the team win, and any individual goals will take care of themselves." Miller's ability to balance great talent with a team concept attitude sets a good example for the Gamecock football team and is one that makes Miller a leader. i ep. 8 L| I =pi 1 FREE!!
