NFL week By MARK NEWGENT Staff Writer t I wish I could send out a high- 1 light film for this weeks' column. \ Week two of the NFL season has enough highlights to fill a one-hour ( special. Hail to the Redskins! They're J back, and they're bad. The 'Skins knocked off Atlanta 24-17 with 1 tenacious down-the-stretch defense. J Kurt Gouveia's interception with 3:41 left in the fourth quarter sealed the win for Washington. The 1 highlights of the game belonged to 1 Desmond Howard and Deion Sanders. Howard, who scored on a razzle- ' uazzic puni lcium, icccivcu a uncial from Brian Mitchell and then ' dashed down the sideline to score his first professional touchdown. Who says the 'Skins don't need him? Prime Time got his highlight ( by taking the ensuing kickoff 99 i yards for the touchdown. < * USC's Rugby Team face one of t Will ,<P Lg I *&.

In he end, the Bills wound up on top, edging out San Francisco 34-31. This game was a whirling dervish )f offensive power. The Bills came )ack from an 11 point halftiine leficit on the strength of Thurman rhomas' running and Jim Kelly's massing. Buffalo out-scored San Francisco 21-7 in the second half, rhe 49ers failed to tie the game when Mike Cofer missed a 47-yard field goal attempt with one minute remaining. The Dallas Cowboys survived a second half comeback by the N.Y. Oiants to win 34-28. The Cowboys, jp 27-0 at the half, were outscored 28-7 in the second half. But the Oiants couldn't pull it out.

Here's a sur c? prise: Tampa Bay is 2-0. They routed Green Bay 31-3. Vinnie Testaverde was 22 of 25 passing for 363 yards. Next weeks' big matches include a battle of two of the games' most exciting quarterbacks. When John Elway and the Broncos take on Randall Cunningham and the stifling Philadelphia Eagle defense, look for the Eagle defense to be the key factor in the game. Superpowers collide when Kansas City comes to the House of Pain to take on Houston. If Pittsburgh can win there, look for the Chiefs to run wild. The battle for second place in the NFC West begins when New Orleans plays Atlanta. lillHii . ? _ *1 Photo by Stephanie Newlin day, September 20th at noon.

I was out tailgating and when I came in it was 31-0. I just left after that." Many of my friends said Sparky ihould have been fired by Monday, and there was even talk of boy:otting the rest of USC's football games until Woods i? gone. I felt similar opinions in my own head. The one consistent thread in all of the talk was "Get rid of Sparky." As USC students, we have every right to criticize-the team's play and coachiqg. But the problem I have with all of the complaining is that we don't support the team a whole lot. I'm not saying partying and socializing isn't part of the whole football tradition, but I get the sense tailgating has replaced the Husky Classic Seattle Washington USC vs. Portland USC vs. Washington jthwest Texas St. Tournam San Marcos, TX USC vs. Southwest Texas St. ohnson-Hagood Sadium Citadel USC vs. Citadel USC vs. ECU m Kristin Buehli t jT? ^ ir>n uiii/t/uiig ai/i/ ; is a coll in lh/p \\i\ Ill HI V If J over South Carolina.

I would be a hypocrite if I said I wasn't guilty of the same crime as the rest of the students. We need to show our team more support. The hallmark of all SEC teams is tremendous fan support. If we are ever expected to be seen as an equal to Florida, Alabama or Georgia, there must be more fan involvement. Better fan involvement improves player performance, recruiting and public opinion. Gamecock fans, don't stop complaining about team performance. That's your right. There is nothing wrong with expecting a competitive football team. Just make sure you also show some support.
