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.
Bobby Fuller showed his
usual cool ana courage, enaunng

"It was pretty darn big," Hatfield
said. "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.

Clemson accepted an invitation to

Tampa, Fla., on New Year's Day.
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. "We are
going to go out and try to win regardless
if they are or not"

Robert Brooks caught four
passes for 82 yards and returned
three kickoffs for 93 more. 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.
