Now, after getting whipped by the Volunteers 56-21 and just about choking off postseason hopes, the Gamecocks are a ponderous bunch looking for any way to feel better. "I don't think we're worrying about bowl trips right now," quarterback Steve Taneyhill said Monday. ter nine straight TANEYHILL games. "We've got an opportunity you dop't get very often and we've got all we can handle thinking about that," said Taneyhill, who put aside talk of a Heisman Trophy with a poor performance against Tennessee. Even if South Carolina were to beat Florida ? "I can't even imagine what the line on our game is yet," Gamecocks coach Brad Scott said of the 20-point spread ? there's still Clemson, 24thranked and on the verge of its own bowl bid, a week later. Scott worked his team hard during the break, figuring that was the best way to take their minds off of the Tennessee loss. He also began the task of slowly rebuilding his team's confidence, shot down by their ineffectiveness against the Volunteers. The Gamecocks seemed on their way to an opening-series score, but a field goal was blocked and returned for a Ten pYOi I FIND OUT WITH THOMSC HIHS HJk ll?-l I YOUR RESULTS WIL WELLNES PROGRA BRING THISCOU BEFORE WEPNES " Good ? _ Valid on _ Thomso Health < 7, 199S rested for Gat nessee touchdown.

Two weeks later, they Jed Florida 23-0 before losing 37-26. ' Scott hopes to corral that knockeddown and get-up-again spirit this time, too. He said he sees no head-hanging, just a very focused team itching to pick off a top three power. This is our chance to go and play real loose because we're not expected to win against them," Scott said. "Hope- > fully, we can play a little better than we did before." The good thing about no game is no injuries. Scott said most of the bruises and bangs that followed his team through their first nine games have healed for the last two. Taneyhill said the week off meant a week out of the spotlight that trailed him after three straight record-setting performances against Kent, Mississippi State and Vanderbilt.
