Gamecocks < despite loss Although it is never pleasant to lose to Clemson, the Gamecocks can be proud of the effort put forth Saturday against the heavily favored Tiger football team. Rather than dwelling on missed opportunities and "what might have been," USC fans should appreciate the many outstanding performances at Death Valley by players and coaches alike. Mike Dingle ran the football like a 6-foot-3-inch, 245-pound tailback should. Playing his best game since Virginia Tech, Dingle ran strong and hard throughout. Dingle's touchdown in the fourth quarter was the only one scored against Clemson's defense in Memorial Stadium all season. Ricky Ferguson blocked a Chris Gardocki punt in the first quarter to set up a Collin Mackie field goal. The blocked punt was the first in Gardocki's Clemson career. Bralyn Bennett recovered the punt blocked by Ferguson. The ever-hustling Bennett also recovered a blocked punt against N.C. State. Patrick Blackwell was named USC's outstanding lineman in the game. Blackwell's inspired play set the tone for a rejuvenated Gamecock defense, as he recorded one sack and two tackles for losses.

"Arlington Nunn comes in there, (it) looked like Brooks was open and Nunn made a diving play to stop it" The USC defense kept Clemson from marching downfield and dwindling any furthur time off the clock but Gardocki hit a booming 78-yard punt and the Gamecocks weren't able to muster another offensive threat. 'They (USC) did a good job in establishing their confidence in their game plan. We were very thankful to be ahead when the game ended," Hatfield said.

After the game, Clemson linebacker Levon Kirkland praised Fuller's ability to get up time after time after taking hard hits. Leon Harris was in on six tackles and had USC's only interception. 9 Patrick Hinton, in his tinal Clemson game, had ten tackles, two for losses. Leroy Jeter continued his unselfish play, throwing the key block on Dingle's touchdown run. Jeter never gets any ink, but always plays hard at fullback. Ken Watson is another fullback whose efforts go virtually unnoticed. Although he gets the ball more than Jeter, blocking is still his greatest contribution. Watson played a nice game Saturday. Shannon Jones made his presence known on special teams, accounting for three tackles and lots of enthusiasm. Bru Pender, another special teams force, recovered the ball on Clemson's botched kickoff return. Collin Mackie kicked three field goals to account for nine of USC's 15 points. Cedric Surratt played tough at cornerback, making four tackles, one for a loss. He has been USC's oest piayer in tne secondary over the past three games.

The Gamecocks dropped to 5-5 on the season but get one more chance to rebound with a win as they play host to the West Virginia Mountaineers Thanksgiving night in a nationally televised game on ESPN. A win could give the Gamecocks a shot at playing in the Independence Bowl in Shreveport, La., on Dec. 15. "I think going to any bowl is good if they are still interested in us," Corey Miller said.

USC is a different (and lesser) team when he is out of the lineup. Jerry Inman played a fine game at cornerback. The converted wide receiver has been a great addition to the defensive backfield. Coach Sparky Woods deserves the greatest praise of all. He added several wrinkles to both the offensive and defensive schemes that helped make a close game out of what many thought would be a blowout. But most importantly, Woods had his players fired-up and believing they would win the game. He and his staff are to be commended for their job in preparing the 'Cocks for Clemson, although they will have to wait one more year for their first win against the Tigers. The entire Gamecock squad deserves a pat on the back for fighting hard and almost pulling an upset against a superior Clemson team. As Woods said after the game, USC has bridged the gap separating the two teams a year ago. It's only a matter of time before a Clemson win over Carolina will be considered an upset, not a foregone conclusion. MfM Hffil H a H Wm f fcyfH . m W| mtt .
