DTH Sport Saturday Tigers set to tackle USC with state title at stake THE ASSOCIATED PRESS COLUMBIA, S.C. Coach Brad Scott brought South Carolina its first bowl victory a year ago. Now, the Game cocks have given Scott another, far more distressing, first. By losing Saturday night, 63-7 to No. 3 Florida, South Carolina (4-5-1) fell from bowl contention, the first time that’s hap pened in Scott’s 13-season career. “I guess I’m going to get to find out what happens at Christmas time,” he said Monday, only half-kidding. It was a formidable streak of success and Scott took tons of pride in it. For 11 seasons as a Florida State assistant coach, he went to a bowl game. Then last year he led South Carolina to victory in the See CLEMSON-S.C., Page 15 VPI, UVa. clash for 100th time THE ASSOCIATED PRESS CHARLOTTESVILLE, Va. Vir ginia Tech and Virginia each at least co-champions of their respective confer ences will play on the 100th anniver sary of their first clash today. It all began on October 5,1895, when the Cavaliers manhandled the Hokies 38-0. A century later, however, things will likely be much different. At stake for the winner is a ninth vic tory on the season and, more impor tandy, the opportunity for a major New Year’s Day bowl. “It could make a big difference to them,” Virginia coach George Welsh said Monday of the Hokies. “They’d be 9- and-2 and could be outright Big East champions. They could be going to a better bowl.” “For us, it’s important. It would be our ninth win,” Welsh said. Frcsk TC-MX m Nortk Cxrolihfc? ARMADILLO GRILL . Hohh*<J Txcos, Fk/itks, Skis*.

The Cavaliers pulled off one of the season’s most stunning victories on Nov. 2 when they beat the Seminoles 33-28 at Charlottesville Florida State’s first ACC defeat. The Cavaliers jumped in front of Florida State early and rode a superb third-quarter defensive effort to victory. ACC Gameday 'Pack, Wake play for pride THE ASSOCIATED PRESS WINSTON-SALEM This year’s Wake Forest football team is the best Jim Caldwell has had, the Demon Deacon head coach said Tuesday. Coming off a one-point loss to Geor gia Tech in which quarterback Rusty Laßue completed 41 of 65 pass attempts for 501 yards and three touchdowns, Caldwell said he has seen enough im provement to call this team the best he’s had since taking over the reins at Wake Forest three years ago. “There is no question in my mind,” Caldwell said at his weekly news confer ence. “We’ve had some tough, hard-nosed contests that we’ve played, but we just had a couple of things that took us out of games.” With one game remaining on the schedule, Caldwell is hesitant too look The win wasn't without its thrilling mo ments, though. Cornerback Percy Ellsworth rammed into Florida State run ning back Warrick Dunn on the game’s final play to stop Dunn short of the end zone and preserve the Cavalier win. Now the Seminoles and Virginia are competing for the best bowl berth.

One bright spot for Wake Forest (1-9, 0-7 ACC) was its ability to red-shirt 20 of the 23 freshmen on scholarship. Last season, when Caldwell was able to red shirt just seven freshmen. “We bit the bullet now,” he said. “We did something that very few teams were capable of doing in terms of the number of kids that we red-shirted. “There’s no question that if we had ACC Standings Conference W L T Pts OP Virginia 7 1 0 242 157 Florida State 6 1 0 362 137 Clemson 6 2 0 193 133 Georgia Tech 5 3 0 173 198 Maryland 4 3 0 133 134 UNC 2 4 0 118 128 N.C.
