TTSr tn t k-/ ^ Vf ^ Alabama By TONY SANTORI Staff Writer Sparky Woods' winless Gamecock football team travels to Tuscaloosa, Ala., to take on the University of Alabama in what appears on paper to be a classic mismatch. The 9th-ranked Crimson Tide roll into this week's game off a 13-0 shutout against Louisiana Tech last Saturday, and the bad news for USC is that low point totals for Alabama opponents is not an isolated case. Head Coach Gene Stallings' squad is ranked No. 3 in the nation in scoring defense with an average of 7.3 points per game. This scoring stinginess combined with the Tide's No. 1 ranking in yards allowed per game does not bode well for the Gamecock offense.

The loss to the Demon Deacons broke USC's undefeated record, giving the Gamecocks a 4-1-3 overall standing. waKe forest senior midfielder Ralmo deVries booted in the only goal of the game at the 8:15 mark on an assist from teammate Steve Gillmor. Gillmor worked his way through the Gamecock defense, passing the ball to deVries just outside of the penalty area where he fired it past USC goalkeeper David Turner. USC tried eight unsuccessful shots on the goal and Wake Forest attempted nine, but the remaining 81 minutes of the match passed without another score. Turner made three saves for the Gamecocks and Wake Forest goalkeeper Mike McGinty prevented six goals. Twenty-five fouls were called on the two teams, and two cautions were issued durinp this nhvsical - c I?J match. In the end, the 12th-ranked Deacons claimed their fifth win of the season. The Gamecocks return home for a South Region match at The Graveyard against Furman Sunday afternoon at 2 p.m. The Gamecocks will try to avenge a 10 loss to the Paladins last season in Greenville, S.C.

The defense is led by a pair of outside linebackers, Antonio London and Lemanski Hall. London, the 6foot-2, 220 pounder, leads the Tide with 28 tackles, including three for lost yardage. Hall, a junior, has i recorded 26 tackles with 2 sacks and also has recovered 2 fumbles. ; Another standout for Alabama has been junior cornerback Antonio Langham, who has picked off three opposing passes and leads the speedy secondary. On offense, Stallings has at his ; disposal one of college football's most exciting performers in flanker David Palmer. The diminutive sophomore pro- < pelled himself into the national spot- ; hght with seven touchdowns in his freshman campaign, one for rushing, ; and three each for receiving and returning punts. He also added two more TD's in the Blockbuster Bowl against Colorado.

Is this season's squad the one that blew away Iowa or the one who escaped Arizona? Saturday we'll all find out as die second-ranked Hurricanes face No. 3 Florida State. Miami lost defensive lineman Rusty Medearis, who was a key to their defensive front. His knee injury in the Arizona game might keep him out until sometime next year. Runningback Stephen McGuire is still trying to regain his step after a knee injury last season. What does all of this mean? DoiCAtl urnnlH thnt CI r\ri r\ a lvuaovni wwuiu uitiaiv uiai 1 iui lua State should win this game. They , have gotten better and better with each passing week. Of course, playing Wake Forest isn't exactly the biggest challenge in the world. Despite all of the reasons why they should lose, instinct and tradition say that Miami will come out on top. Miami has tremendous depth at every position, and they thrive on adversity. Coach Dennis Erickson , will rally his players around the "Us versus the world" philosophy that has worked so well in the past. ] i It's better th I Bil l B E I ' rnHBCI It's a tear gas and oleoresin s] Three sizes a 600 Harden St. Five Points 771-6911 710 Lady St. Uptown Location 779-31 ^VOCK H AT, OHtMM COME JOIN THE IM ONLY YARDS OF BE 1400 Main Street 2 Blocks from Capitol Corner of Main & Washington Basement of Palmetto Bldg.
