The Deacons held a 38 31 lead with a minute left to play when Gamecock senior quarterback Garry Harper tossed a 62 yard touchdown pass to flanker Horace Smith The ball bounced off the hands of Deacon cornerback Pierre Brown before Smith snatched it and dashed the last 20 yards to the end zone South Carolina went for a two point conversion setting Rogers in the right slot as a decoy The tailback

fans South Carolina accepted a bid to the Gator Bowl their first invitation to the Jacksonville la event in 35 years The independent Gamecocks are 8 2 for the season while Wake orest of the Atlantic

for 447 yards His favorite target split end Wayne Baumgardner also broke his own school record catching 12 passes for 271 yards and two touchdowns When Baumgardner was not scoring himself the passes set up touchdowns Venuto hit the split end for 31 yards at the outset of the third quarter to set up a touchdown run by that kept the Blue Devils shackled key was the pass shouted an overjoyed Coach Monte Kiffin mixed it up with some individual pressure and some blitzing But we certainly blitz the whole game It the coverage or pressure against the run but the overall pass running game was almost non existent The Blue Devils now 2 8 overall and 2 4 in the league with a trip to Chapel Hill remaining netted a measley minus 13 yards on the day "It was just too much State said a dour Coach Red Wilson out ran us out blocked us and out tackled us I have excuses we just did a lousy State took command of the game at its first opportunity taking the opening kickoff at the Wolfpack 15 and

connected with Castor on a 22 yard scoring strike With 2:15 showing it was 7 Late in the first half Clemson 5 5 stopped the Terps deep in Maryland territory but the Terps kept the ball when Dan Benish

yard Tice to Havener pass preceded another three yard TD run by a six play 71 yard drive Clemson fumbles later in the quarter led to Castro field goals of 22 and 37 yards COLLEGE PARK Md (AP) Mike Tice threw two touchdown passes to Chris Havener and used the pass to set up two short scoring runs by Charlie Wysocki as Maryland beat Clemson 34 7 Saturday in an Atlantic Coast Conference football game The senior completed a 15 yarder to Eric Sievers on first offensive play and ended the day with nine completions in 13 attempts for 144 yards and no interceptions The Terps 7 3 opened the scoring late in the first period after a 25 yard punt gave them the ball on the Clemson 46 Tice was 3 3 on the drive which ended with Wysocki scoring from the 3 CHAPEL HILL NC In the immortal words of North Carolina defensive back punter Steve Streater bowl is a reward but just too cold at the Peach Bowl Whether the Atlanta weather in January had anything to do with it or not the Tar Heels unanimously selected to accept a bid in the Bluebonnet Bowl Saturday afternoon following their 26 3 win over ACC rival Virginia "If we couldn't go to one of the four major bowls (Rose Sugar Cotton Orange) we wanted to try for one where the players could enjoy themselves and there would be a lot to do I think Houston offers a very good opportunity for the players to have an enjoyable said head coach Dick Crum Bluebonnet Bowl official Ron Byrd was on hand to offer the Tar Heels the invitation Saturday afternoon and said the invitation would have been made win lose or draw has a strong tradition with a strong team and strong fan support and why we wanted them at the Bluebonnet said Byrd opponent will be the Texas Longhorns who earned the spot across the field from the Tar Heels with an impressive win over Texas Christian Saturday looking forward to playing said quarterback Rod Elkins should be quite a Those words were similar to those spoken a few weeks ago before the Tar Heels made their fateful journey to Oklahoma that turned into a nightmare for the class of the ACC But most players feel that the Texas game will be different know where we were going until after the game said Streater had just been reading the papers like everybody else and we knew it was between the Bluebonnet Gator Liberty and Streater said the Peach was all but ruled out earlier in the week talked to Coach Crum earlier in the week and let it be known that we weren't that interested in the Peach If we had lost today we would have gone there but glad going to the Bluebonnet think it will give us a chance to redeem ourselves after the Oklahoma Streater added want to show the rest of the country what kind of team we really By Eddie Lloyd Register Sports Writer RALEIGH NC North Carolina defense spent the entire week devising a way to defuse one of college most explosive offensive weapons The Wolfpack secondary did manage to ban the bomb for most of encounter with Atlantic Coast Conference rival Duke Blue Devil freshman quarterback phenom Ben Bennett was heavily pressured by an aggressive State rush much of the game and the result was a 38 21 Wolfpack victory Although Bennett ended the rainy day with 236 of 305 yards passing he was intercepted three times in a turnover plagued contest In all the two teams committed a total of nine turnovers The final score is a bit deceptive since last two touchdowns came in the final 10 minutes of play one a 75 yard scoring strike from Bennett to flanker Chris Castor counterpart State sophomore quarterback Tol Avery was perhaps more brilliant that the highly touted Duke passer Avery rushed for 76 yards and a touchdown and passed for three more touch downs to push the to 5 5 on the season with only East Carolina remaining State finishes 3 3 in the ACC But it was the Wolfpack defense irst downs Rushes yards Passing yards ATLANTA (AP) Navy tailback Eddie Meyers sprinted for 149 yards including a 19 yard touchdown burst and Steve ehr added

connected with tight end Glenn Etheridge on another pass for the 2 point conversion defense allowed Tech only 41 yards all on the ground in the opening half as the Yellow Jackets could muster only three first downs and never cross the midfield stripe Tech managed to penetrate into Navy territory twice in the second half finally reaching 37 yard line with less than 10 minutes remaining A slim crowd of only 17631 turned out for the contest on a dreary cloudy day after an early morning rain Tech officials said it as the smallest crowd at Grant ield since the early 1930s THOMAS TOWLER Manager
