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

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.

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.
