"I just wanna win. It doesn't matter
how we do it."
South Carolina senior quarterback
Steve Taneyhill has his sights on only
one thing for his final season: winning.
His career record at Carolina is a
modest 16-13, but no other quarterback
in school history has led the Gamecocks
to a bigger win than Taneyhill. When
the clock in Joe Robbie Stadium hit (KMX)
on Jan 2,1995 to end the Carquest Bowl,
Carolina fans could finally celebrate a
bowl victory.
Taneyhill came to USC in 1992 from
Altoona, Pa. a highly touted prospect.
He was a Parade Ail-American and Super
Prep magazine rated him the No. 3
quarteiback prospect in the nation. For
the first five games of his college career, |
Taneyhill watched from the sidelines as j
the Gamecocks lost Former Head Coach
Sparky Woods inserted Taneyhill in the (
starting lineup against Mississippi State
and the winning started.
The Gamecocks put together four ;
straight wins and lost a dose one at Flori- t
da before taking on Clemson at Death j
Valley. By leading Carolina to its first
win over the hated Tigers since 1987 he
captured the adoration of all Gamecock r
fans. Then came the FALL.
Taneyhill had been harassed by fans {
concerning his long hair, earrings and
brash personality early in the 1992 sea- ,
son but winning took the fans minds off j
those. 1993 would not be as easy to for- r
give to many fans. The season started ^
on just wnere vz enaea, a dramatic win {
over Georgia in Athens, then the team
seemed to fall apart Fourth quarter col- |
lapses to Kentucky, Alabama, Florida j
and hated Clemson left fans calling for |
Taneyhill's head. s
1994 brought about a new feeling to ]
USC, a fresh start, higher expectations, <
Brad Scott It also gave Taneyhill a way '
to put 1993 to rest. He said he didn't let
himself get down after '93, with Scott
coming to Carolina from National Champs ^
FSU, Taneyhill had reason to be opti- ]
mistic. (
"I was self motivated," he said. "I ^
didn't let myself get down or my team- j
mates down. I just wanted to come back
and play better." (
He turned himself around and j
brought the whole team with him. He ]
finished the season with 19 touchdowns .
and only eight interceptions compared j
to *93*8 six ID'S and 14 INTs. ,
Although he could rightfully look for !
some accolades, Taneyhill said to him
it has never been about individual goals, ,
"team goals are the most important." i
Like when he took off for the goal ,
line in the second quarter of the Car- j
quest Bowl. He said he wasn't trying to (
be a star, he just wanted to help his team.
"The times I've run its been by
chance," Taneyhill said. "I probably got
lucky in the bowl game, it was just some- '
thing that happened, spur of the mo- ,
ment. I did what I had to do to help the
ball club get some points on the board.
