Game Summary
The Gamecocks' ground game, rapidly growing more powerful behind junior George Rogers, dominated Duke in a 35-0 win. USC outgained the Blue Devils 440 to 142 while forcing three turnovers on defense. Rogers rushed for 161 yards and two touchdowns, while fullback Steve Dorsey had 92 yards and Percy Reeves added 65 despite playing just the second half. The Gamecocks took the opening kickoff and rolled 70 yards, with Garry Harper running it in from four yards out. Dorsey added another score in the second then Rogers' two touchdowns pushed the lead to 28-0 in the fourth quarter. Reeves' two-yard touchdown run capped the scoring. Despite the shutout, coach Jim Carlen wasn't overly pleased - 'We should have been up by twenty points (at the half). We missed an interception for a sure touchdown... We're still not throwing well.' Despite their coach's comments, USC would win the next three also, at Athens then home wins over Oklahoma State and Mississippi. ;
