Impressed? Admittedly, those are not exactly the toughest football schools in the country, but against mighty Southern Cal, he rushed for 141 yards in 26 carries. Now are you satisfied? Those statistics, that speak very loudly for themselves, belong to a young man by the name of George Washington Rogers. The 6-2, 220-pound explosive senior tailback is the workhorse of the South Carolina offense that travels to Ann Arbor Saturday for a non-conference struggle with Michigan. And the Wolverine defense, which has displayed vulnerability against the run in its opening two games versus North- western and Notre Dame, faces the most formidable of tasks as they try to stop Rogers, who already stands as South Carolina's career rushing leader yardage with 3,712 yards. South Carolina coach Jim Carlen described the Heisman Trophy can- didate and his importance to the Gamecock offense. "He's more of a power back, but he has good speed for someone his size," said Carlen. "He gained 1,600 yards last season and has nearly 4,000 yards in his career. So he's a big factor, but he's not the whole offense." Last season, Rogers was second only to Southern Cal's Charles White in NCAA rushing with 1,548 yards and finished seventh in the Heisman Trophy vote, and second among non-seniors. He heads into Saturday's contest with Michigan riding a string of 13 con- secutive 100 yards-plus games. Pacific coach Bob Toledo, whose team was whitewashed 38-0 by South Carolina, tells why Rogers is so tough to stop. "It's his speed and quiuckness. He gets to full speed in one or two steps and he's past you before you know it," said Toledo. How does the opposition try to defen- sehim? "Teams try to lock him up, play man- to-man against him," said Carlen. "I don't know if we stopped him," said Toledo of Rogers, who barrelled for touchdown runs of 44 and 72 yards against his squad. "You're not gonna stop him; however, you might be able to control him. "He's gonna break one on you. He broke one against USC. You have to swarm and keep on him. Maybe put a handgrenade in his pocket," suggested a laughing Toledo. Michigan coach Bo Schembechler saw Robers perform in the game film against USC (in which Southern Cal defeated South Carolina, 23-13) and knows he will pose problems for the Blue defense. "Wye have to get pretty physical, or we won't be able to stop this guy. If Southern Cal couldn't stop him . .. we can't hit him like they did. It looked like five or six players had him five yards past the line of scrimmage, and he broke away from all of them," said Schembechler. Despite his impressive statistics and a whole heap of praise from opposition coaches, Carlen said Rogers has not dt Sfense received the recognition he deserves and doesn't know if he will. "We don't have the reputation of Michigan or Notre Dame, so he hasn't," said Carlen, whose Gamecocks are 2-1 on the campaign. Rogers and South Carolina can change all that this Saturday when they play one of those reputations in Michigan Stadium. It's enough to give a guy the chance to get some recognition. With a whole lot of people watching. OR 1140 S 668-84 Rogers ... heads Carolina attack 11 a i theWilliam Sloane Coffin, Jr. .
