                               The Week

   The Clemson Tigers rubbed Howard's Rock and ran down the hill to kick
off the 1992 college football season here in South Carolina.  But the
Ball State Cardinals had a surprise...a tough home opener for Clemson.
South Carolina entered its 100th season with the largest crowd in its
history and a predictable, traditional result.  Some of the lesser-
known traditions in college football throughout the Palmetto state
are included with the results of each team...these bits of interest
are taken from Saturday's column by Bob Gillespie, writer for the 
Columbia, SC _State_ newspaper.

   Anyway, this issue includes first-week reviews statewide and a look 
ahead.  Thanks for sticking around!  Please feel free to let me in on good 
information, and send any correspondence to the address above.

First week results:

                             Division I-A

Clemson University 
   Tigers     (ACC * Coach: Ken Hatfield)

Clemson             7  3  0 14 - 24 
Ball State          0  7  3  0 - 10

Review:

   The Tigers did little to win this game, but managed to keep from 
losing.  It appeared generally that Clemson was caught looking ahead
to what many have billed the ACC championship game against FSU next
week.  Ball State came to do more than pick up a paycheck, and when
they tied the game and barely missed an opportunity to take the lead,
the Tigers woke up and played stifling defense and unstoppable 
offense for a few minutes, scoring two touchdowns and putting the 
game away.
   Perhaps the biggest news other than the result was the shining
return of tailback Ronald Williams.  Williams played for the first
time since going down with a knee injury in last season's game against
NC State.  He was played sparingly by the coach, but managed to gain
58 yards on 8 carries, including one beautiful 17-yard touchdown run.
With two interchangeable greats at tailback, the Clemson offense
may be able to take some pressure off of a passing game that seems
at times like an afterthought.

is still recovering from an August 19 knee surgury.

Next week:  Florida State at Clemson, 7:30 pm, ESPN

   The Tigers are generally predicted to battle FSU for the ACC
crown this year.  The first night game at Death Valley since the
1950s promises to be spectacular, one way or another.  The Seminoles
are coming off a crushing defeat of Duke in their ACC debut,
and don't seem to be starting slowly.  The Tigers will hopefully
field a better team that the one which showed up to play Ball
State.  If so, this will be a good game, but if not, the Tigers are
in for a long night.

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

South Carolina      3  3  0  0 -  6 
Georgia             0  0 21  7 - 28

Review:

   The Gamecock began their 100th season of football with no small 
amount of fanfare.  Friday, witchdoctor Archibald Thibeaux was called
in from Blythewood to try to exorcise the ages-old Chicken Curse which
has been blamed for everything from the Gamecocks' perennial gridiron
mediocrity to the death of Elvis (one of the King's last concerts was
at USC).  Thibeaux sent the curse to Clemson, and it almost went.  He
did mention that he would come back if the mojo didn't take the first
time.  
   South Carolina might need him back.  The largest crowd in USC 
history watched the Gamecocks play a half of stifling defense and
sputtering offense and attain a precarious 6-0 lead at halftime.  
But the Bulldogs, also entering their 100th season, came galloping
back in the third quarter for 21 demoralizing points, 14 of them 
coming on gaudy TD runs by Hearst and Strong.  The Gamecocks were 
unable to take advantage of the plentitude of opportunities they
had.  This and their lack of depth and experience cost them the game.

Injury notes:

Rob DeBoer went out with a knee injury and Boomer Foster went out with
broken ribs after a viscious hit on a route across the middle.  Both will
be evaluated this week.  Linebacker Lawrence Mitchell, who has not played
since his junior year at Conway, SC High School, will return to action
this week against Arkansas.  Mitchell sat out his senior year as part
of a boycott by some black members of the Conway team, and was sidelined
last season academically ineligible.  He served a one-game suspension
Saturday for disciplinary reasons.

Next week:  Arkansas at South Carolina, 7 pm,  

   If any SEC team fared worse in its opener than South Carolina, it
was Arkansas.  The Razorbacks lost 10-3 to The Citadel Saturday and
that team's coach was pressured into resignation.  Disarray there
could spell trouble for the Hogs when they visit Columbia this week.
The Gamecock's have a long way to go, but there is promise.  South
Carolina will be hoping to put the Georgia game behind them and 
get on with what will certainly be an interesting progression.

Sep  5 - Georgia            - lost 6-28

The Citadel 
   Bulldogs   (Southern Conference * Coach: Charlie Taffe)

The Citadel         0  0  0 10 - 10
Arkansas            0  0  0  3 -  3

Review:

   A Glorious Win for The Citadel!  The Bulldogs' biggest question mark
going into the season won the game for them in Fayetteville.  They
bent but didn't break, only allowing the Hogs a FG, and then Cadet
Boehmer picked up an E.D. Jackson fumble and raced it across the open
field into the endzone.  Late in the fourth-quarter, Cadet Cummings
sealed the victory with an interception which set up a Trinh FG.
Citadel QB Jack Douglas kept the Razorbacks off balance most of the
game and played very well, especially deep in his own end of the 
field.  He rushed 26 times for 82 yards and completed 5 of 7 passes
for 58 yards.

Next week:  Wofford at The Citadel, 7 pm

   The Wofford Terriers are coming off a disappointing loss to 
the Fighting Christians of Elon College.  Wofford seemed to be
well on its way to its best season ever behind phenomenal QB
Shawn Graves, the most prolific rushing QB in the history of 
the NCAA.  Their season isn't getting any easier with a visit
to Johnson-Hagood stadium this week.  The Citadel, picked to
finish no better than third in the Southern Conference, is 
making other noises and could do much better.  The Citadel is
now 5-1 in its last six outings against I-A teams.  It's next
such test comes Sep 26 at Army.

Schedule and progress:
Sep  5 - at Arkansas        - won 10-3
Sep 12 - Wofford            - 7 pm     - lost 12-15

    When The Citadel scores, veterans plug their ears.  A volley of
rifle fire from a half-dozen 1864 Springfield replicas is followed by
a blast from the 12-pound howitzer, another replica produced by Dixie
Gun Works...[The Citadel is currently trying to cut down on the flying
of the Confederate naval jack at football games and is instead trying
to get the cadets to wave red Palmetto flags.  This flag is identical
to the South Carolina state flag, except that it is red instead of 
blue.  Citadel cadets flew red Palmetto flags at their manned positions
in Charleston harbor as they fired the first shots of the Civil War.]

Furman              6 15  3  7 - 31 
Liberty             0  7  6  0 - 13

Review:

  The Furman Paladins used a crushing running game to beat Liberty at
a soggy Paladin Stadium Saturday night.  Carl Tremble had the second-
most productive night of his career, rushing for 176 yards on 15 
carries and moving into second-place on Furman's all-time rushing 
list.  He trails only Stanford Jennings.

   North Carolina is coming off a crushing defeat of Wake Forest in its
ACC opener in which they rolled up 524 yards of total offense, 283 on 
the ground.  Furman will have to run its option to perfection if they
hope to pass their Division I-A test this year.

   The galloping Paladins:  Since 1961, when Furman football teams
changed their nicknames from Hurricane to Paladins, there usually has
been a Paladin, or King Arthur-era knight, at the games.  And the knight's
white horse, of course.
    The first to carry the Furman Paladin was a stallion with the now-
curious name of 'Mighty White Man.'  In more politically correct times,
the steed has been referred to simply as 'the horse.'  Its presence adds
to the excitement, but not like when the Paladins played at Greenville's
Sirrine Stadium, where the horse would gallop down the home sidelines
after a score and bench warmers had to worry about being trampled.  Now,
the mascot is restricted to the end-zone...
    If the Paladins are winning late, count on a chant going up from
the student body: 'Dr. Johns, come on down!'  At which time school
president John E. Johns will leave the press box to lead the students
in the cheer, 'F-U one time, F-U two times, F-U three times, F-U all
the time!'  The Baptists wince at this one.

South Carolina St.  7 14 14  7 - 42 
Newberry           10  0  0  7 - 17

Review:

   Coach Willie Jeffries told one of his boosters that he would get to
call one play this year, and the booster said "Pass."  And pass they
did.  Marvin Marshall completed 7 of 14 passes for 192 yards, including
three touchdowns of over 20 yards each.  The Bulldogs made good use
of the top receiving corps in the MEAC, senior Rodney Hunter, junior
Quincy Miller and sophomore Freddie Solomon.

Next week:  South Carolina State at Florida A&M

   Plus!  The Battle of the Bands!  The halftime show will be at least
as entertaining as the game when two of the most highly acclaimed
marching bands in college football take to the field.  
   The Rattlers are coming off a 28-17 victory over traditional I-AA
power Georgia Southern at Statesboro.  They are one of the favorites
to win the MEAC, as well, but the Bulldogs have their sights set on
the same goal and appear to be playing excellent football.

Elon                7  6 18 10 - 41

Review:

   Mike Ayers took his promising Terriers to Burlington, NC Saturday 
to face the Fighting Christians of Elon College.  Elon set up a six-man
front to contain Wofford's phenomenal QB Shawn Graves.  They held him
to only 35 yards rushing on 11 carries, a total which is about 1/5 of
his typical output.  The outlook for the Terriers was that if Graves
achieved his goals, so would Wofford, and the converse is now proven
to be true.  Elon, on the other hand, had no trouble rushing, piling 
up 417 yards on 66 carries.  Two Fighting Christians went over 100 
yards rushing (Armstrong 25-193 and Johnson 15-133).  This was Elon's
first victory in its opener in four tries, and the most points in
its debut since it defeated Elizabeth City State 48-0 in 1978.

Next week:  Wofford at The Citadel, 7 pm

   The Terriers' schedule gets tougher week when they travel to The Citadel
to take on the Bulldogs.  The Citadel is fresh off a pig-roast in
Fayetteville, Arkansas and will be looking for dessert.  The Terriers
are a better team than they showed Saturday, but they will have to be
at the very top of their game to repeat their upset victory over the
'Dawgs last season.

Newberry College
   Indians (Independent * Coach: Mike Taylor)

Newberry           10  0  0  7 - 17
South Carolina St.  7 14 14  7 - 42 

Review:

   Coach Mike Taylor's Newberry Indians opened their season with a promising
showing against a good I-AA team in South Carolina State.  SC State resorted
to an uncharacteristic passing game when the Indians were able to shut down
the Bulldog rushing attack early.  Newberry took an early lead, capitalizing
on a Bulldog fumble deep in its own territory, but after that, it was all
SC State.  Newberry's excellent QB, Tim Singleton, was effectively contained
by the State defense.

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

Presbyterian        0 10  0  0 - 10 
Fairmont            7  0  0  5 - 12

Review:

   In a game which must have resembled a circus, the Blue Hose watched
their precarious second-half lead disappear in about six minutes.  
Fairmont State cut the PC lead to 1 on a safety with 5:15 left in 
the fourth quarter and then drove to the PC 1 yard line where, on
fourth down, D.A. Rogers kicked a field goal with 1:07 left on the
clock, giving Fairmont a 12-10 victory.

    Years ago, according to Presbyterian College athletics director
Cally Gault, a Midwestern radio station announced the results of PC's 
games.  Reason?  'They had a contest, and we won for most unusual
nickname,' Gault says.
    The PC Blue Hose derive their name from the 'blue-stocking
Presbyterians' that made up the English Parliament of Oliver Cromwell.
Presbyterian first wore blue stockings in the 1920's; a Rock Hill
newspaper came up with Blue Hose, and it stuck.
    New coach John Perry has brought back blue hose for the Blue
Hose.  'We always said, 'With a name like Blue Hose, you better be
touch,'' Gault says.

Review:

   Brad Johnson, CSU's sophomore QB rushed for 119 yards and all three
Buccaneer points (including a 77-yard TD run) in Charleston Saturday.
The Buccaneer's never attempted a pass in this muddy victory.
