The Gamecocks will look to continue
their winning ways Saturday as they
take on the Georgia Bulldogs. After last
Saturday's 33-14 victory over Central
Florida, Carolina will open up their SEC
schedule with the second of four straight
home games.

be looking to give first-year head coach
Jim Donnan his first victory as a Bulldog.
Coming off an by-week, Georgia has
had plenty of time to prepare for the
Gamecocks.
"We feel like we've got a lot to prove
as a program after last week's game,
but at the same time we feel like we're
capable of doing it," Donnan said.
If the Bulldogs are going to do it,
they must play a lot better than they
did against Southern Mississippi. In
that game, Georgia looked flat and rusty

Although the Georgia offense looked
rather unimpressive against USM, the
Bulldogs have the talent to play with
any team in the SEC. LedbyBoboand
running back Robert Edwards, Georgia
has the ability to score a lot of points.

potent UGA's offense can be.
In his first game at running back
after being moved from defensive back,
Edwards broke a Georgia school record
that had stood for over 100 years. Neither
Heisman Trophy winner Herschel Walker
nor Garrison Hearst have ever scored
five touchdowns in a game for the
Bulldogs.
Edwards scored four TD's on the
ground, rushing for 169 yards on 30
carries, and caught two passes for 42
yards and another touchdown, as Georgia
ran away from the Gamecocks in the
second half in a 42-23 Georgia win.
"The South Carolina game was
unreal. Unreal," Edwards told writers
at the SEC Media Days in July. "I've
looked at the tapes a couple of times,
and I've wondered how I did some of
those things I did. I guess it was just
reaction, instinct. I don't think I could
go out and imitate it again."

Gamecock fans certainly hope he
doesn't. After shutting down a potent hs
Central Florida team last weds, Carolina's re
defense looks to do the same this week. 1?
Another strong performance from Terry is
Cousin, Ben Washington, Keris Sullivan
and Arturo FYeeman is needed in the pi
secondary to shut down the passing In
attack of the Bulldogs. al
Up front, the job of stopping Edwards fn
will belong to defensive end Maynard ns
Caldwell, tackle Henry Taylor and the H
rest of the line. Hiey need to get pressure hi
up front, plug the holes and let yz
linebackers Shane Burnham, Darren
Hambrick and Bergi Young put pressure G
on Bobo. d*
Offensively, the Gamecocks need to a
continue running a balanced offense. de
Tailback Duce Staley will look to build 1?
upon last week's strong performance in uj
which he carried the ball 29 times for Ir
187 yards and three TEfs. le
Anthony Wright will be making his
second start at quarterback for Carolina. G
Last week he had a solid showing as he sh
completed 12 of 19 passes for 236 yards, n?
one touchdown and 0 interceptions, ai
What was even more impressive was L:
that he completed passes to eight different be
receivers, and the way he checked-off oi
to certain plays at the line of scrimmage ki
after reading the defense. p.

Selected comments from B
"We played well for an
opening ball game, and yet
at the same time we've got
quite a bit of work to do,
because of the schedule
that we play. We are a
long ways away from being
a really good football
team."
"We have to continue to
improve every week,
because, just as this week,
the competition gets
tougher every week. We
have won the. opener, and
that's just a good start."
"We are playing a lot of
young players' and that definitely
excites me, because
that is the future of this
football team. It is good
that we are playing these
young players so early for
two reasons. One reason
being that they are getting
plenty of reps this early
and the other being that it
shows how youthful our
team really is."
"I thought that Anthony
.Wright played very
respectable for an opening
ball game. He made some
good decisions out there,
but mostly I was impressed
with his poise."
B"And now we step up to
another level this week,
and he will see a completely
different type of defense.
So, it will be another stiff
challenge for Anthony, but

"Now Duce, I thought
played real well, and he
ran with the blockers well,
but he also ran without the
blockers well. I think that
it gives our offensive line a
lot of confidence and
encouragement to have a
player behind them that
can get the job done."

rad Scott, USC Head Coach
B"Now Georgia presents a:
whole different challenge
for us. I think that their
coach said it well when he
said it was a surprise to
everybody that their
offense didn't play as well
the first game as they're
capable of playing."
"We all know that they've
got very gifted and talented
players on the offensive
side."
"Robert Edwards is a
back who is one cut away
from taking it the distance
every time he touches the
ball. He's a very gifted
back."
"Mike Bobo is a very good
quarterback. He was a little
out of sync in- their
opening game."
"I think what we've got
coming into the WilliamsBrice
house is kind of an
angry, mad and embarrassed
Georgia football
team. From their offensive
, side of the football, that's
bad for us."
"On the defensive side of
the ball, they played
extremely well. That will
present a great challenge
for our young offensive
football team because they
return a lot of people."
"Their front four is as
good as any in this league.
It might be better. I'm not
sure, but their inside are .
outstanding. They ve got
the skills and speed on the
outside. That's going to be
a big challenge for us."
"I think that the new
atmosphere at WilliamsBrice
Stadium is the best
in the country. Last week's
crowd was great, but with
even more people in the
crowd, it will be better."
