                               The Week

   This week was at once predictable and interesting.  Clemson and South
Carolina performed as expected, and The Citadel played a near-perfect
game against a tough Southern Conference opponent.  Newberry got its
first win of the season, and Presbyterian handed Wofford its fourth
disappointing loss.   
   Anyway, this issue includes fifth-week reviews statewide and a look 
ahead.  As always, thanks for reading!  Please feel free to let me in on 
good information, and send any correspondence to the address above.

Fourth week results:

                             Division I-A

------------------ 
Clemson University (2-2, current ranking: AP #25, CNN #22)
   Tigers     (ACC * Coach: Ken Hatfield)

Clemson            54
UT-Chattanooga      3

Notes:

   Clemson rolled up 606 yards in offense in a romp over UT-Chattanooga,
but suffered ominous losses to injuries along the way.  Backup QBs 
Louis Solomon and Patrick Sapp played well after starter Richard 
Moncrief went out with an aggravated knee injury.  Four quarterbacks
combined for 106 yards rushing and 166 yards passing.  Clemson also
had three-fourths of its defensive backfield go down with injuries,
and running-back Ronald Williams suffered a thigh-bruise.  These
injuries will be evaluated further before Saturday's game at Virginia.

Next week:  Clemson at Virginia, 3:30 pm, ABC regional coverage

   Clemson travels to Charlottesville Saturday to take on what could
well be their toughest opponent of the season.  The Cavs are on a 
roll of monumental proportions, and the Tigers are in a down season
so far.  Clemson's losses in the defensive backfield will turn into
glaring deficiencies against Virginia's powerful offense if the 
injuries were serious.  Clemson hasn't beaten Virginia since the
Danny Ford days, and this is disconcerting after winning 29 straight.
The Tigers should be motivated, but they will need more than 
motivation to beat the Cavaliers.

---------------------------- 
University of South Carolina (0-5)
   Gamecocks  (SEC East * Coach: Sparky Woods)

South Carolina      7
Alabama            48  

Notes:

   The hapless Gamecocks simply got stomped in Tuscaloosa.  No two ways
about it.  The game was over early, when Alabama's offense finally
showed up for a game...but then, as somebody said, scoring against
South Carolina is not like scoring against the Citadel.  The Gamecocks
have now lost nine straight games, while Alabama has won 15 straight.

-----------  
The Citadel (5-0, current ranking: #6)
   Bulldogs   (Southern Conference * Coach: Charlie Taffe)

The Citadel       25
Appalachian St.    0

Notes:

   The Citadel played near-perfect football against the Mountaineers of
Appalachian State Saturday and walked away with a 25-0 victory, giving
the Bulldogs their best start in the school's 85 years of football.  
It was the first time the Mountaineers were shut out at home since 1979
against William & Mary, and it was only the second Citadel win in the
20-year series between the two teams, the first since 1984.  The Bulldogs
held the ball for 40:19 in the game, thoroughly whipping the ASU defense,
before finally blowing open a 9-0 game in the fourth quarter.  Injured
QB Jack Douglas rushed 20 times for 72 yards rushing and completed
4 of 5 passes for 134 yards and a touchdown.  Fullback Everette Sands
rushed for a career-high 199 yards in the victory.  Unfortunately for
the Mountaineers, their silver lining was their punter.  Harold 
Alexander tied the I-AA single-game record with a 55.7 yard average
and had a career-best 78-yarder in the fourth quarter.
 
Next week:  UT-Chattanooga at The Citadel, 7 pm

   The Citadel returns to the friendly confines of Johnson-Hagood
Stadium to take on the UT-C Moccasins.  UT-Chattanooga is coming off
a 54-3 whipping at the hands of Clemson, and the Citadel must guard
against a letdown.  Mental discipline, however, never seems to be a
problem with the Bulldogs.

Schedule and progress:
Sep  5 - at Arkansas        - won 10-3
Sep 12 - Wofford            - won 30-13

Nov 21 - at Furman          - 1:30 pm  - won 10-6
     
-----------------
Furman University (3-2)
   Paladins   (Southern Conference * Coach: Jimmy Satterfield)

Furman             41
Virginia Military  13

Notes:

   Carl Tremble rushed for 135 yards and 2 touchdowns in an easy victory
over Virginia Military at Paladin Stadium.  The Keydets held the ball
about three times longer than the Paladins with their methodic 
wishbone offense, but the Paladins scored quickly and effectively.

Next week:  Furman at Marshall, 7 pm

   Furman takes its 1-0 conference record on the road Saturday and
puts it on the line against the powerful Thundering Herd.  Marshall
is coming off a loss to I-A foe Missouri, and will be looking to
keep their Southern Conference record clean.  Furman hopes to avoid
the every-other-week-shutout trend that has plagued them this 
season and upset Marshall, but that is a hefty task.

South Carolina State University (1-3)
   Bulldogs   (Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference * Coach: Willie Jeffries)

South Carolina St.  3
Jackson State      41 

Notes:

   The South Carolina State Bulldogs aren't faring as well as their
fellow 'Dogs just to the south.  In the annual Palmetto Classic at
USC's Williams-Brice Stadium Saturday, Jackson State rocketed out
to an early lead, and took care of it with tenacious defense.
 
Next week:  Morgan State at South Carolina State

   This is the Bulldogs' first home game of the season, and they 
hope Orangeburg will be kinder than the rest of the southeast has
been.  Morgan State is coming off a 45-27 victory over Buffalo.

Schedule and progress:
Sep  5 - at Newberry         - won 42-17

---------------
Wofford College (1-4)
   Terriers   (Independent * Coach: Mike Ayers)

Wofford            27
Presbyterian       41

Notes:

   Wofford's nightmare season continues.  The Blue Hose came up from
Clinton Saturday night and crushed the mistake-prone Terriers.  PC
rolled up 382 yards with a balanced offense, breaking out of its
three-game doldrums, while Wofford lost three fumbles in the first
half and failed to take advantage of its opportunities.  The Blue
Hose turned all three first half fumbles into TDs.

Next week:  Lees-McRae at Wofford, 2 pm.

   The Terriers continue to search for answers in their darkening
season.  Who knows which team will show up Saturday when Lees-McRae
comes to visit?  

Schedule and progress:
Sep  5 - at Elon            - lost 27-41
Sep 12 - at The Citadel     - lost 13-30

----------------
Newberry College (1-4)
   Indians (Independent * Coach: Mike Taylor)

Newberry           28
Charleston So.     12

Notes:
 
   Newberry traveled to Goose Creek Saturday and notched its first victory
of the season over Division III foe Charleston Southern.   In a rare role
as favorite, the Indians played the part well, scoring in every quarter.
The Buccanners, in only their second season playing intercollegiate 
football, put up a good fight in the second quarter, but were never able
to give Newberry much of a challenge.

Next week: Newberry idle

Schedule and progress:
Sep  5 - SC State           - lost 17-42
Sep 12 - at Lenoir-Rhyne    - lost 11-26

Presbyterian College (2-2) 
   Blue Hose  (South Atlantic Conference * Coach: John Perry)

Presbyterian        41
Wofford             27

Notes:

   In its brightest showing of the season, Presbyterian travelled to 
Spartanburg and picked apart the struggling Terriers of Wofford
methodically, holding standout QB Shawn Graves to "only" 110 
yards on 22 carries.
 
Next week:  Catawba at Presbyterian, 3 pm

   Presbyterian is surging, and hopes to continue its drastic improvement.

                             Division III

------------------------------
Charleston Southern University (2-3)
   Buccaneers  (Independent * Coach: David Dowd)

Charleston So.    12
Newberry          28 

Notes:

   Charleston Southern hosted Newbery Saturday, and hoped to hand
the Indians another disappointing loss, but it was not to be.  The
Indians picked up their first win of the season against the 
Buccaneers.

Next week:  Charleston Southern at East Tennessee State, 2 pm

   The Bucs travel up to Johnson City to take on another set of Bucs
in an inter-divisional matchup.  ETSU started off with a bang, but
has settled into its familiar position in the middle of the Southern
Conference pack.  CSU hopes to pull off a major upset as it continues
in one of the toughest schedules among Division III teams.
