look they hoped would offer new
results. Corey Jenkins entered as
quarterback for USC to start off
its first drive of the half. The drive
started with the same problems,
however, as Jenkins fumbled his
first snap. Jenkins made up for his
early mistake with a couple of
rushes and a completed pass be
fore he broke loose for a 41-yard
run into the end zone. The PAT
was good, and the Gamecocks led
7-3.
Jenkins was just happy to play
his part.
“I went in and tried to make a
few things happen. I just wanted
momentum to pick up a little for
us,” Jenkins said.
The Razorbacks responded on
their next drive by going down the
field 69 yards before quarterback
Zak Clark completed a 10-yard
pass to Richard Smith for the
touchdown with 4:28 remaining in
the third quarter.
The Gamecocks were forced to
punt for two straight drives before
getting a final chance to reclaim
the lead with 6:23 left in the game.
Starting on their 20-yard line, the
Gamecocks went 27 yards before
Petty threw a 30-yard strike to
Brian Scott to put the USC on the
17-yard line. Carolina attempted
two rushes by Petty and Pinnock
before finding themselves in a
third-and-four on the 10-yard line.
An offsides penalty pushed the
Gamecocks back 5 yards. Petty at
tempted a touchdown pass to
Scott, but Razorback defender
Ahmad Carroll was able to con
tain the USC wideout.
USC then lined up to attempt
the field goal. The Gamecocks,
wary of the height of the
Razorbacks, practiced all week
kicking a half-yard further than
usual in hopes the ball would get
more height early. Daniel Weaver
kicked the ball, but it only found
the hands of Arkansas defender
Carlos Hall, who ended the USC
drive with 53 seconds remaining
in the game. The Razorbacks ran
out the clock to hold onto their vic
tory over the No. 9 Gamecocks and
their first SEC win of the season.
After the game, Holtz was frus
trated with the way his team
played.
“We played hard here today,
but we didn’t necessarily play in
telligent,” Holtz said. “It’s a very
disappointing loss.”
Petty was frustrated, but knew
the team couldn’t harp on the loss
for too long. “It’s one we felt we let
slip away, but you can’t have it
back; it’s over. We just have to find
a way to bounce back.”

In SEC, any team
can win on any day
CONTINUED FROM PAGE 13
it’s that in the SEC, you can’t
overlook anyone.
I’m not saying USC
overlooked Arkansas or Florida
overlooked Auburn. But the
upset wins should serve as a
future reminder to any teams
that get complacent.
This conference is stocked
from top to bottom, and any team
can win on a given day. There’s
no Duke or Baylor in the SEC,
even if Vandy sometimes looks
like it.
Shoutouts
Bob Stoops, you can hand that
Coach of the Year honor over to
Ralph Friedgen now.... MJ, nix
'the goatee.... Dan Duquette, how
do you still have a job?... The
best player in the NFL? Once
again, Brett Favre... Does
anyone know how we’re
supposed to stop Woody
Dantzler?... Dan Snyder and
Jerry Jones, want to know why
your teams are the worst in the
league? Look in the mirror. Let
the coaches do their job and stop
playing around where you don’t
belong.... Maddux and Glavine,
your time is up. Move over for
Schilling and the Unit.... Big
Mac, just retire and save us the
whining.

Junior co-captain Melinda Carter was
able to reclaim the lead for the
Gamecocks at the 22:48 mark as she shot
in her third goal of the season off a Becca
Epstein assist.
LSU was quick to respond yet again.
Not even two minutes passed before
Rachel Cohen nailed in an unassisted
goal to tie the game 2-2.
Still in the first half, the Lady Tigers
were able to take the lead for the first time
in the game when Artie Brown knocked
in a 10-yard goal to put LSU up 3-2. The
Lady Gamecocks responded with a goal
from junior midfielder Kanika McAlpine
off an assist from Jessica Julin to tie the
match at 3-3. The goal was McAlpine’s
first of the season.
Lpstein led off the scoring in the sec
ond half, putting in her fourth goal of the
season with a shot to the upper right cor
ner to give the Lady Gamecocks a 4-3 lead.
About 72 minutes into the game, LSU
scored what would be the last goal of the
day when Tiger defender Ashley Mitnick
scored off a direct kick to tie the game 44.
It was the first time this season an oppo
nent has managed to score against the
Lady Gamecocks in the second half of
play.
Despite tying the Lady Tigers, the
Lady Gamecocks outshot them 29-12.
The Lady Gamecocks will be on the
road again next week as they travel to
Georgia on Friday and to Tennessee on
Sunday.
