2-D- Tha Greenville News and Piedmont Sunday, November 7, 1976 S. C. State romps over UM-ES, 47-0 By ABE HARDESTY News sports writer ORANGEBURG Willie Jeffries wasn't really sending in the plays for Maryland-Eastern Shore here Saturday. It only looked that way. The visiting Hawks, overpowered and intimidated by the hard-charging South Carolina State defense, managed just 68 yards in total offense during the one-sided affair.

That was the best aspect of their offensive attack. On the less successful plays, the Hawks coughed up three fumbles and tossed three more pass interceptions all but one of the turnovers leading to South Carolina State scores and that made things all too easy for Jeffries and his team. The final score was 47-0 in a contest that was only briefly one and a victory that gave the Bulldogs, ranked first among the nation's black teams, at least a tie for the Mid-Eastern Atlantic Conference crown. The triumph was also the seventh in a row for State, which appears headed for post-season play following next week's game at Wofford. Saturday's defensive charge made homecoming day a happy one for an overflow crowd of 14,103 and made Jeffries a satisfied man.

"We didn't move the ball real well on offense, but our defense gave us the ball in such great field position that we almost had to score," said Jeffries, whose Bulldogs have now blanked six opponents. "Oup defense has played well all year, and it was sharp again today," he added. "They (UMES) had a good quarterback and we were worried about him getting time to throw." Most of those worries should have subsided before halftime, however. State had already used two key turnovers to grab a 17-Olead. All of the doubts were erased in the third quarter, when State scored three touchdowns two of them on the first offensive play after a UMES turnover within a five-minute span.

That made it 37-0 and much of the talk tur ned toward post-season play. The Bulldogs, now 8-1, apparently have a choice between NAIA playoff competition and a Bicentennial Bowl bid. State is ranked third in the nation in the running for the former and is a prime candidate for the latter, a December contest in Richmond. Jeffries declined to elaborate on that post-season talk, however. Instead he was concerned about next week's foe.

"Wofford has come on real tough in the last few weeks. They've beat some good teams and the've lost to some good teams. I'm afraid we're going to have it rough up there." That would be a big change from their position at Bulldog Field Saturday, where they completely manhandled the Maryland team. State racked up 15 first downs to just three for the Hawks, and rolled up 399 yards offensively in spite of 12 penalties. Most of those penalties came in the first half, and brought the only criticism from Jeffries on the sunny day.

"I thought our offensive line did a good job of blocking today, but we had 110 yards in penalties in the first half and that hurt us. We had a kid slugging out there one time, (Continued on P. 9-D) Sims' Tech running sparks past Irish, 23-14 VMI shocks Citadel plays around the outside to set up the Yellow Jackets' second half comeback.

Tech roared back with an 84-yard drive with freshman quarterback Gary Lanier running through the left side for the final eight yards.

A draw play netted 10 more yards and three plays and 8 yards later Cox came in and ended all doubt. CHARLESTON (AP)-Quarterback Robbie Clark passed for two touchdowns and Craig Jones kicked three field goals Saturday as Virginia Military Institute defeated the Citadel Bulldogs 30-14 in a game billed as the Military Classic of the South. The Keydets scored on their first drive after the Bulldogs' Lonnie Ford fumbled a pitchout on the second play of the game.

Six plays later Clark hit Johnnie Garnett for a touchdown with 12:11 left in the first quarter. It was VMI's first touchdown pass of the season. The Citadel failed to get a drive going, and after a nine-yard punt, VMI moved the ball 68 yards in nine plays and Jones booted his 12th field goal of the season to give the Keydets a 10-0 first quarter lead. The Citadel rallied in the same quarter, however, when freshman Kevin White blocked Kerry Mullin's punt and defensive lineman Greg James recovered the loose ball in the end zone for the Citadel's first score. Jones opened the third quarter with his third field goal of the game, a 33-yard attempt which left him shy of the Southern Conference season record of 15.

He now has scored on eight consecutive field goal'attempts. In the fourth quarter, Ford sliced off the left side and scrambled 52 yards for a touchdown to cut VMI's lead to 16-14. But four minutes later Clark passed six yards to Steve Oddi, who was all alone in the left side of the end zone. The Bulldogs failed to mount another drive, and with two minutes left in the game, VMI's Andre Gibson, who rushed for 100 yards for the afternoon, darted around left end for a TO. The victory increased VMI's record to 4-5 overall and 2-3 in the Southern Conference.

VMI has an open date next weekend. The Citadel sustained its first home field loss of the season, fell to 5-4 overall and 1-3 in the conference.

"The guy (Walker) pushed off to catch the ball. But, it's all over and done with now and we lost the ball game.

That's really all there is to say about it. "They (Gardner-Webb) just walked the ball down the field on us in the fourth quarter," Gault continued. "They were hitting their backs coming of the backfield and they were also hitting curl patterns. They just took it away from us." After the fourh-quarter touchdown, Presbyterian could do nothing with the ball. PC punted and Gardner-Webb got it back again on its 26.

Robertson again went to the air, hitting running back Johnny Walker with a 28-yard pass to the PC and then hitting Walker again later in the drive with a 22-yard toss to the PC 13. The Blue Hose defense threw Robertson back to the 30 on two sacks and watched a Robertson pass fall incomplete in the end zone. Cox came in then and hit his first field goal, a 37-yarder to tie the game at 17-all. Presbyterian got the ball on its 9 and quarterback Jody Salmon hit Elliott Pauling with a 19-yard pass to the PC 28. Two plays later, Salmon hit split end Jay Byars down the left sideline for a 23-yard gain to the Garn-der-Webb 47.

Pauling went off right tackle for four yards, but then Kevin Williams was thrown for a one-yard loss. A five-yard illegal procedure was tacked on and on third and 12, Williams again was thrown for a one-yard loss. GOLD 1 1-2 LT.

Presbyterian 17. UURENS RD. STORE ONLY S1MIL.4RT01LLLS. 4 '95 20 CORD By ERNIE KASTNER News sports writer CLINTON With 11 seconds to go here Saturday night, Presbyterian's hope of winding up the 1976 season with a non-losing record ended. That was when Mike Cox kicked a 40-yard field goal to give Gardner-Webb a 20-17 victory over the Blue Hose.

Cox, a sophomore from Charlotte, N.C., waited through a PC timeout, stepped up and sent the ball through the goal posts with distance to spare. The loss gives Presbyterian a 2-6 record and no chance to break even. The Blue Hose have tow games remaining with Carson-Newman next week at Jefferson City, and with Newberry Thanksgiving Day at home. Gardner-Webb's record improved to 5-4. It was a hard loss for the Blue Hose to take, especially since they had jumped out to a 17-7 lead only to see it evaporate in the fourth quarter.

Gardner-Webb started its comeback the first time it got the ball in the final period. Starting on their own 24, the Bulldogs moved down the field on the arm of quarterback Glenn Robertson. In the drive, Robertson completed four passes, three for first downs and the final one for a touchdown. Robertson hit Marc Walker on a 14-yard lob pass in the left corner of the end zone. Walker was well-covered, but took the ball away from two Presbyterian defenders.

A disappointed Cally Gault had doubts about this touchdown. "It was fourth-quarter field goal by Tom Sexton. Wofford is now 4-5, and the loss snapped a three-game Terrier win streak. Wofford compiled 341 yards total offense to 188 for Catawba, but three lost fumbles took their toll.
