Sinclair CONTINUED FROM PAGE 10 tan” argument probably believe that if an American is against sending troops overseas, then that person cannot be patriotic as well, rhis argument is ridiculous. The irst step in fixing a problem is ad nitting you have one. The quar terback problem at USC should be in obvious one. I also question the fact that he lid not answer questions after the Spring Game. A quarterback is a Leader. Leaders do not just pick up their heads when things are ?ood. They have to face the music when things are bad as well. Whether this was a decision by the Gamecock coaches or by Pinkins himself, it was the wrong one. Do you remember the last time Joe Montana, John Elway or Brett Favre did not field questions after a bad game? Whether you play a great game or not, leaders are expected to face the cameras afterwards. If you cannot face ad versity from people with pencils and paper asking questions, how are you going to deal with 80,000 people watching and an All-SEC linebacker chasing you? Pinkins is a good quarterback. Despite his statistics and record as a starter, I think his frame could still give him a shot of being a good professional quarterback. Players such as Anthony Wright and Quincy Carter were not dom inating in college, but they have found jobs as starters in the NFL. For some reason, the Gamecocks just fail to produce when Pinkins is the quarterback. Holtz has always wanted a quarterback who can be a threat both running and passing the foot ball. That is why Pinkins was re cruited and why Holtz won his na tional championship at Notre Dame with South Carolina native Tony Rice at quarterback. While the Spring Game cannot and should not be the only criteria for naming a starting quarterback, over 12,000 Gamecock fans saw what is apparent. Pinkins is still struggling at quarterback, and Syvelle Newton is the quarterback of the future at USC. Comments on this story?E-mail gamecocksports@gwm.sc.edu Defense CONTINUED ROM PAGE 10 erback Dondrial Pinkins’ pass was intercepted in the end zone by inebacker Lance Laury. Laury dso had a forced fumble on the ;ame. Marc Williams made the other nterception of the day off a long Dass from Blake Mitchell in the ourth quarter, returning the ball !8 yards to his own 40-yard line. Linebacker George Gause and lefensive lineman Freddy Saint Preux also stepped up for the de fense, each notching one sack on the day. Gause came out early, sacking Pinkins for a four-yard loss in the second play of the game. Saint-Preux also got his sack in the first half, taking down Blake Mitchell for a seven-yard loss just before halftime. After the game, Holtz lauded Saint-Preux and his comrades On the defensive line. “I thought the defensive line played well,” Holtz said. “If you don’t control the line of scrim mage, you aren’t going to be real good.” In addition to Saint-Preux, de fensive linemen Chris Tucker and Stanley Doughty made plays be hind the line. Tucker had a tackle for a loss of six yards, while Doughty had a 3-yard tackle for loss. The USC defense will have its first shot at an offense other than its own when the Gamecocks trav el to Nashville, Tenn., to play Vanderbilt Sept. 4.

The performance by Newton irew several questions in the jostgame press conference on whether the game represented a :hance for the sophomore to step nto the starting position. “I’m not going to get into eval jating this or that,” Holtz said. ‘Dondrial’s the starting quarter jack. We’ll go into the fall camp rnd we’ll see.” Dondrial Pinkins went 4-of-14 on he game for 35 yards and one in :erception. “Dondrial did not look sharp to day and didn’t seem to have his mind in the game,” Holtz said. “You know, I’ll talk to him and I’ll find out why. “ Also getting looks at quarter back on the day were Blake Mitchell and Mike Rathe. Mitchell went 2-of-8 for 23 yards and one in terception, while Rathe went 2-of 3 for five yards. The rushing game, outside of Newton’s runs, had trouble pro ducing results. Gonzie Gray had two 2-yard touchdown runs, being the only running back to see the end zone in the game. Gray also had 24 yards on 11 carries. Demetris Summers also racked up 24 yards on 11 carries, while Daccus Turman notched 24 yards on six carries. Cory Boyd round ed out the work of the running backs, putting together 18 yards on nine carries. Still, one cannot say if the of fensive showing Saturday is rep resentative of the team, since Holtz equivocated on how much of the game plan was shown. “Maybe 50 percent,” Holtz said. “Maybe 50, maybe none. But basi cally, I don’t want to answer that. There were certain things that we just don’t want to show.” Carolina’s first game in the fall will be at Vanderbilt Sept. 4.
