The best team of the '80s is making a respectable run for the '90s. The Niners have the best team in football. They have the hp.st miflrtp.rhar.k nf alt time,, not to mention a stellar core of wide receivers and running backs, possibly to be supplemented by Marcus Allen from the Raiders. The only thing that will keep the Niners from a third straight Super Bowl is themselves. They have not played up to their best this season, and considering they are still undefeated, that is pretty amazing. Every team in football wants their heads on a platter, and logic tells me they just aren't hungry enough UNIVERSITY 01 CAROLINA STl >>iOVJ V, AFFO BV ^UKNEN We October 1< AND PREVIEW H ONLY A $20.00 DEP Before you purchase a tunity to compare the fastest growing class ri AS AN ADDED INC HONORED IN ADDIT (only College Football I =tich Taylor David Bowden Brant (3-4) (5-2) (5 Mich.

And in soccer, with both schools having strong programs, the game is usually one of high-ranked teams. This year will be no exception. On Sunday at The Graveyard, the 14th-ranked Gamecocks face the third-ranked Tigers in a match-up of South Region powers. Both teams are coming off big tournament wins over the weekend. Clemson played host to the Umbro Invitational tournament over the weekend, defeating nationally ranked Adelphi 4-1 and upending secondranked and defending national co-champion Santa Clara 4-2. USC traveled to Palo Alto, California where the Gamecocks defeated No. 18 San Francisco 1-0 and Stanford 2-0. The Gamecocks face a stiff challenge according to head coach Mark Berson. . "There is no question about it, we have our work cut out for us against Clemson," Berson said. "They are an outstanding team and have a lot of momentum .... They will be a real challenge for us." Clemson head coach I. M. Ibrahim remembers games against USC in the past and is wary of this year's team. "We've had a lengthy rivalry with South Carolina, and we've had our ups and downs," he said. "We know they have several outstanding players. They are a very well organized team." USC has won four of the last five meetings between the two schools, losing only to the Tigers' 1987 national championship team. But Ibrahim doesn't care about the past. "What's in the past is in the past," Ibrahim said. "I don't care what happens in the past. Indeed, Mr. Brisson, Coggins and Tufino are outstanding soccer players. We respect them a lot." -h Both teams have momentum after the weekend, Berson said, but USC's built up "quietly." "We quietly built our momentum. We're playing better now than we have been all year. The team has improved and is playing well," he said. Ibrahim said the Tigers are also playing well but, despite freshman Jimmy Glenn's 17 goals on the season (including all four against Santa Clara), the whole team is contributing. "We're doing quite well," Ibrahim said. "(Glenn) has done a very good job but it has been a team effort. He just happens to have scored 17 goals." Besides Glenn up front, the Tigers also have All-American Pierce Tormev. Berson knows that Clemson is strone. not iust un front but all around the field. 'They have all the ingredients, good goalkeeping and a freshman that has scored 17 goals and plays beside Pierce Tormey. They are very explosive up front." But Berson added that with Tommy Loeber, Brian Scott and Mike Gosselin on defense, he knows USC will be prepared to play. Both coaches also know that when the opponents are USC and Clemson, there is bound to be a crowd. "Anytime South Carolina and Clemson play, there are a lot of fans," Ibrahim said. "This year it is much more significant," he said. "If South Carolina beats us, it enhances their ability to capture the region. We are already No. 1 in the region but that can easily change. It is a very important game for both teams." "We have a history of rivalry," Berson said. "It is as big as in any sport. There is no sport in which both teams are a highly ranked ... Both teams could be 0-11, and it would be a big game. Their players, our players and everyone in the state knows it "There is a lot on the line. It is the type of game players look forward to, it is the type of game fans look forward to seeing and it is the type of game you look forward to coaching. I'm looking forward to a great game," he said. Both Berson and Ibrahim believe playing at The Graveyard will be advantageous to USC. >w "We are counting on the home field and the suDDort of evervbodv here," Berson said. Ibrahim said "We are playing away so I don't like our chances as much. The home field advantage is worth at least one goal to South Carolina." USC is 8-2-2 on the season and Clemson is 11-2. "In this game, nobody sneaks up on anybody," Berson said. "I'm confident that our players will be ready." The game will start at 2 p.m. Sunday. O type blood is rare -JL *ed You! anc* special.
