Depth chart
RYAN WILSON Asst. Sports Editor
The season opening football game
Saturday against Georgia will be
viewed by more than 70,000 fans at
Williams-Brice Stadium. The game will
be televised on Columbia's WIS-TV and
Atlanta's WAGA-TV.
WIS-TVs coverage reaches 38 of
South Carolina's 46 counties, including
carriage on 100 cable systems. This
means Gamecock fans throughout
muchofthe
state will be able "Some of our 1

"With the recruiting and that
high level of in- d<
terest in the season
opener with
Georgia, we believed it was important
for Carolina fans across the state to
have the opportunity to see this particular
game," Athletics Director Mike
McGee said.
WIS is Columbia's exclusive producer
of the Southeastern Conference's
football and men's basketball
television package. WIS has also
comitted to produce and televise an
additional South Carolina men's home
basketball game during the 1994-95
season.
Kickoff time, originally scheduled for 7
p.m., has been moved to 8 p.m. in order
to comply with the College Football Association's
Television Plan.
The pre-season depth chart, released
late last week, held some surprises at
certain positions. The most noticeable
item on the depth chart is the presence
of seven freshmen, either redshirt or
true freshman, in the top two at each
position.
"Some of our freshmen are stepping
into holes where we had some returning
players who just haven't been doing
the job. It's all about recruiting and
that's what we have to do," Head
Coach Brad Scott said.
One of the freshmen who has

stepped up is offensive guard Travis
Whitfield. The 6-4,260 lb. redshirt
freshman has quickly risen to the starting
tight guard position, even though
he was moved from defensive line to offensive
line a week ago.
"We moved Travis because we
thought he would have a chance to
start and help this football team. I like
his approach to the game. He is a
tough competitor who has worked ex
tremely hard,"
