where time is against you and you pretty much have to throw the The interception deep in NC State territory was third of the day was what we called have to take credit for that one whether it was good or bad I team that came into the contest qllowing an average of just 117 jards on the ground think we blocked them Very well moved it very well or handled them very Brown marched in seven plays to the Com 1 where after two failed dives by Brandon Bennett Taney hill sneaked behind the center for the only touchdown rom that point on the offense sputtered But the defense kept Vanderbilt immobilized The Commodores who finished with just 84 yards total offense never drove deeper than the Gamecock 38 The South Carolina defense scored two points when left end Stacy Evans sacked Cedric Douglas early

great team victory for said Gamecock coach Sparky Woods whose team had fared poor ly this season against option defensive play was out standing and we have a let down during the day" WINSTON SALEM It looked to be a desperate play by a desperate team As it turned out it changed the game completely With 12 minuted left in the second quarter Saturday the Duke Blue Devils had seen the Wake orest Demon Deacons have their way both offensively and defensive ly Trailing 13 0 Duke faced a fourth and 7 at the Wake 42 yard line Despite the fact that there were nearly three quarters of football yet to be played Duke coach Barry Wilson opted to go for a first down rather than attempt to pin Wake deep in its own territory with a punt Duke quarterback Spence ischer dropped back and hit Brad Breedlove with a 12 yard pass good enough for the first down Although the drive later ended with a failed fake field goal attempt the play changed the entire complexion of the game and from that point on the Devils controlled the flow of the game And at the final hom Duke had carried that momen touchdown of the afternoon this one to Stanley Dorsey on a fourth and 1 play from the Wake 4 with 3:06 left in the first quarter come from behind win overshadowed the effort of Wake running back John Leach Leach rushed for a career high 171 yards on 26 carries the most yards gained by an ACC rusher this season a mark previously held by North Carolina's Curtis Johnson with 168 Wake orest (2 5 1 3) opened the game with a dom inating performance that made it seem inevitable that Duke would find its way into the record books The first drive ended with a missed 48 yard field goal attempt by Mike Green However when they got the ball back after a Duke punt the Deacons reeled off a nine play 80 yard drive that featured five rushes by Leach who capped off the drive with a 2 yard touchdown run to give Wake a 6 0 lead Although next possession ended with a fum ble at the Duke 10 Duke was unable to move the ball and on the ensuing punt Todd Dixon returned the kick 74 yards to give the Deacons a 13 0 lead with 14:43 Marshall 35 Appalachian St 3 HUNTINGTON WVa (AP)' Todd Donnan threw for 227 yards and

part of desperation resulted from the fact that going into the game at Groves Stadium Duke (2 6 1 4 ACC) had suffered a string of futility spanning 17 consecutive ACC losses A loss Saturday would have
