FSU Nips USC
Four Future Opponents Fall
By Ted McKean
Cavalier Daily Staff Writer
Virginia's four remaining future
opponents all went down to defeat
Saturday, a feat the Cavaliers will
hope to accomplish on the next
four successive Saturdays. South
Carolina, North Carolina, Tulane,
and Maryland all were toppled,
though none but UNC by a substantial
margin.
South Carolina played perhaps
the best game of the foursome in
scaring mighty Florida State in a
35-28 losing cause. South Carolina
held the lead for most of the third
quarter, but then the passing combination
of Bill Cappleman to All-America
Ron Sellers proved too
much for the Gamecocks. South
Carolina's scrambling quarterback,
Tommy Suggs, put on quite an
offensive show, running for one
touchdown, and passing for two
scores.
Tulane threw up a valiant upset
effort at Georgia Tech before
falling to a last minute touchdown
score by the Jackets to secure the
game 23-19. Tulane trailed at the
half, 9-7, and Tech added another
score in the third quarter to make it
16-7. The Green Wave then rallied
for 12 points in the final quarter,
only to see the game slip from their
hands as Tech drove in for a score
with only 45 seconds remaining.
North Carolina, after pulling a
major upset over seventh ranked
Florida last week, was stomped by
Wake Forest, 48-31. Wake controlled
the game throughout,
leading at the half, 22-3. Carolina
scored the final two times, providing
an idea of the magnitude of
difference in the two teams.
North Carolina State totally
dominated Maryland in their game
Saturday, winning 31-11. The Terps
quarterback, Alan Pastrana, did not
complete a pass until the fourth
quarter, as State's Charlie Bowers
romped for three TD's.
Despite the fact that none of
the remaining foes appear to
possess the strength to defeat the
Cavaliers, none can be taken at all
lightly. All will be looking for the
chance to upset a team rated their
better, and, with dreams of a bowl
in mind, another loss to any of
these lesser teams would prove
disastrous.
