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.

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

USC will conduct an "Informal
Football Clinic for Ladies Only"
Wednesday, August 28 at
Williams-Brice Stadium.
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.

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.
"We asked him to throw the

Eric Fears, the strength and
conditioning coach; Nick Gasparato,
the department's recruiting
coordinator, Dr. Rod Walters, head
athletic trainer; coaches Miles Aldridge
and Tommy West (codefensive
coordinators); and coach
Art Wilkins (offensive coordinator).
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.

session is a tour of the Carolina
locker room, where ladies can see
where Gamecock favorites such as
Bobby Fuller and Rob DeBoer
hang their helmets, among other
things.
So ladies, make plans to further
your knowledge of college football
in general and Gamecock football
in particular on August 28 at
Williams-Brice Stadium. Just
think. You will no longer have to
spend sleepless nights wondering
why the weakside linebacker
didn't stay home on the double reverse,
despite the tight end releas-'
ing early. Understand? Me neither.

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.

Cubans celebrate
at Pan-Am Games
From The Associated Press ?!
Everywhere Fidel Castro went at
the Pan American Games, Cuban
gold was sure to follow. m
And so the games ended Sunday
with Castro bouncing up and down fC
doing the wave, a party crowd tsinging
and dancing, and Cuban j(
boxers winning 11 golds to end the ^
proudest days in the country's j
sports history. ^
The furious show of power and ^
skill in the ring rivaled Cuba's u]
dominance on the baseball field q
and at the track as the host nation ^
stopped the United States short in
the gold medal race for the first ^
time since the inaugural games in

U.S. led in overall medals with 31

far behind in third with 22 j?
golds and 127 overall, and Brazil 1
was fourth with 21 golds and a
total of 79. S1

hearts of Cubans than baseball and di
boxing. Just as the fans celebrated tli
