Ladies i By RICH TAYLOR Sports Editor Do you draw a blank at the mention of terms like "safety blitz" and "intentional grounding"? Are you unsure of the difference between an H-back and a nickel back? Do you long to know the difference between a quarterback sack and a paper sack? If you are male and answered "Yes" to the above questions, well, maybe you play too much chess or something. it you are a iemaie, nowever, the Gamecock football staff can help you out. Yes, back by popular demand for the third consecutive year, CoIora< From The Associated Press In college football, the top teams don't rebuild. They reload. That appears to be the case tills season with defending national champion Colorado. The Buffaloes had nine players drafted by the NFL in April, including first-rounders Mike Pritchard and Alfred Williams. But the talent supply has been restocked by a string of fine recruiting classes. Coach Bill McCartney believes his 1991 team will make a strong bid for its third straight Big Eight title. However, another national championship may be too much to ask of a team that could have four or five freshmen starters, including three on the offensive line. "We may have some growing pains this year, but we have ta iem, McCartney said, "me ingredients are here for us to have continued success into the '90s. I see no reason for us not to be in the thick of things." Drawing on a baseball analogy, McCartney said his team is "strong up the middle," with quarterback Darian Hagan, center BWKli | A New Tradition Serving New Englam 8i Appetizers.

The clinic will feature comments and demonstrations from the Gamecock coaching staff, as well as a tour of the football facilities. The clinic is open to ladies only and will be limited to the first 300 who register. The cost is $5 each and ladies may preregister by calling the football office at 777-4271. The evening begins at 5:45 with light refreshments. The schedule includes a demonstration by USC cheerleaders (don't ask me why) and comments from Grady Ray, a do atten Jay Leeuwenburg, nose tackle Joel Steed and free safety Greg Thomas. After Hagan tore his left knee in Colorado's Orange Bowl victory over Notre Dame last New Year's Day, some thought his career was over. But after an intensive rehab program that prevented him from competing in spring drills, the knee appears sound. ?'T L- KaV A.11.. J ?? i uuiia. in. a iuuj rcwvcreu, McCartney said. "You can tell in workouts. I would be very surprised if he's not fine." To some observers, Hasan had an off-year in 1990. After becoming only the sixth player in NCAA history to run and pass for 1,000 yards in the same season as a sophomore, he slumped to 442 yards rushing last season and didn't display the same quickness that had made him one of the most feared option quarterbacks in the country. McCartney said that's because Hagan battled nagging injuries most of the season and was called upon to play a different role.

Following a tour of the Williams-Brice Stadium facility, Gamecock Head Coach Sparky Woods will address the group. The clinic has been well received in its previous two years of existence, providing informal instruction on the rules and concepts of college football in a relaxed setting. One of the highlights of the ipts to I ball more last year," McCartney said. "We didn't need him to carry the ball as much." Hagan passed for a schoolrecord 1,538 yards and 11 touchdowns. As a result, a passing attack is not one of McCartney's worries heading into this season. Pass protection, however, is another matter. Only Leeuwenburg, one of the top centers in the country, returns on the offensive line. Four-year starter Joe Garten and three-year starter Mark Vander Poel are gone and Bryan Campbell was suspended following his arrest on theft charges. "We've had very little attrition in our program, but what we have had seems to have hit us right there," McCartney said. "We're not deep or experienced in the line. We're going to be raw, but we won't be without ta- < lent. We just need to get through this time ot apprenticeship. With a young offensive line, the Buffaloes probably won't be able to open the gaping holes they did last year, when the team was sixth in the nation in rushing with an average of 271 yards per game. r&-0u^Uu4T R E S E R V ' .

Me neither. epeat Eric Bieniemy, the school's all-time leading rusher, has graduated, leaving as many as six players battling to be the new tailback. Chuck Snowden was the likely successor before being slowed by an Achilles' injury, and redshirt freshman Kent Kahl is No. 1 now. Keasnirt iresnman true Mitcnell and true freshman Lamont Warren also are talented runners. "Those two guys have big-time speed," McCartney said. The Buffaloes have a wealth of experience at receiver and in the defensive secondary and line. The linebacking corps has undergone some reshuffling, however, with the loss of Williams and Kanavis McGhee. Key returning starters on defense include Steed, Thomas, tackle Leonard Renfro, linebackers Greg Biekert and Chad Brown and cornerback Deon Figures. Colorado has traditionally been strong in the kicking game. Mitch Berger will replace graduated punter Tom Rouen, with Bereer and returnees Jim Harrier and Pat Blottiaux dueling for the piacekicking chores.
