"The two guys we were worried about most were their tsuikles, Hardison and Broadway. We’ve heard they will probably be first round pro draft picks, and after what I saw Saturday, I wouldn’t doubt it a bit,” he said... Hardison drew this comment from N. C. State Coach Bo Rein, after his Pack lost to the Tar Heels: “If we had some busted plays, it was Dee Hardison busting them.’’ . .. And touth Carolina Coach Jim Carlen: “He’s the best defensive' lineman we’ve faced this year.” . . . Both Carolina and Clemson have been praised for their outstanding defenses this year, but if tlfoy^lay a defensive game Saturday at Chapel Hill It will be the first time In many moons.
