Friday, November 15, 1991 USC loo] By AARON SHEININ * Sports Editor When South Carolina's Gamecocks head into Kenan Memorial Stadium Saturday to face the North Carolina Tar Heels, one team is playing for a bowl bid, and the other to come one game closer to another winning season. The 'Heels are 5-4 and could come away with a bid to the Peach Bowl in Atlanta on New Years Day, if they get by the Gamecocks and the Duke Blue Devils the following week. USC is 3-4-2 and trying to stay I above .300 for the fifth year in a row. The last time the Gamecocks did not post a winning record was the 1986 campaign when USC finished 3-6-2. To reach the positive side again, the Gamecocks must shut down a potent UNC offense ? and beat Clemson the next week. But first the Gamecocks must get by North Carolina and tailback Natrone Means. Means has been tearing up defenses all season, totaling 705 \ I pi Protecl prenati for a fr< Baby B i V i 4 < In the pa puter at an Exclusive E priced for stu< Loans. pUn assistance of the amount y< % Exciting Di ek Th< ks for foi yards on 151 carries, an average o 4.7 yards per carry. Means and company are averag ing 166.9 yards on the ground eacl contest. The Tar Heels also scon 23.7 points each game while theii defense is holding opponents tc 18.7 each outing, compared to 23.2 and 22.9 respectively for the Gamecocks. Means also leads the ACC in rushing and is second in scoring, and is 17th in career scoring al UNC. North Carolina, however, does not put the ball in the air much. In nine games, UNC is only averaging only 165 yards per game, compared to USC's 229.7. But when freshman quarterback Jason Stanicek does put it in the air, he is very accurate, completing 60 percent of his passes. USC's passing attack, however, may be limited. Wide receiver Eddie Miller went down in the the first half of this past week's loss to Florida State with a leg injury and is questionable for this week. ijljljTiijTjT" pi t your unbc rn baby wil al care.

USC's first-year head basketball coach got some good news as his first two recruits ? Kentucky's Carlos Turner and Michigan's Norm Greene ? signed scholarships to attend USC. One night earlier, Newton's coaching debut at South Carolina was a success as the Gamecocks got 19 points from senior Joe Rhett and defeated High Five America 63-58 in an exhibiton game at Carolina Coliseum. Turner, a 6-5, 190-pound guard from Lousiville's Fairdale High, is a leading candidate for the Mr. Basketball title in Kentucky. This past season, Turner averaged 16.8 points and 6.2 rebounds per game in helping Fairdale to its second consecutive state title. He was also a consensus all-state selection this past year. Turner was highly-recruited by Michigan, Tennessee, Louisville and Kentucky but instead chose to follow his former head coach Stan Hardin, now an assistant on Newton's staff, to USC. Greene, a 6-8, 190-pound senior from Grand Haven High School in Michigan, averaged lb.4 points, 8.5 rebounds, 2.4 assists and had 98 blocks in his junior year. USC opened its 1991-92 season Tuesday night winning its first exhibition game in two seasons. The Gamecocks shot a modest 41.9 percent from the floor in the victory and were 60 percent from the free throw stripe. Seniors Jo Jo English and Barry Manning followed Rhett in scoring with 16 and 12 points respectively.
