more for the touchdown Kim
Braswell who just refuses to
miss, added the extra point and
Georgia had a 7-0 edge with
only 8 52 elapsed in the game
The second quarter turned
out to be the knockout punch for
the Tigers With Ray and veter
an Mike Cavan calling the sig
nals. the Bulldogs put together
a 21 point period and kept
Clemson in poor field position
most of the time
After a short punt that Bill
Darby fielded on the Tiger 36
Ray hit Rex Futnal for 23 yards
and moments later Montgo
mery dived in from the two for
a 13-0 lead Needless to say.
Braswell converted
CLEMSON was forced to

Tigers tail, as the offensive

through the Clemson front wall
for 48 of the 69 yards Rookie
quarterback James Ray start

reminiscent of his fabulous
sophomore season. Cavan

Once again, the Tigers re

a switch in their attack this
time They made a first down.

shortly before halftime And.
quite appropriately, tailback
Ray Yauger was the man who
got it
Yauger. who became the all-
time leading rusher in Clemson
history when he gained his 44th
yard Saturday, ended the day
with 71 yards in fourteen at
tempts
BUT THE GLORY was
short-lived when the Tiger
quarterback Tommy Kendrick
threw incomplete on a fourth
and two situation from the
Georgia 37
Then, almost as if punishing
the Tigers for daring hi make a
first down. Ray and Co. moved
63 yards in ten plays with Ray
shredding the Clemson pass
defense for seven completions
in a row at one point
With only 37 seconds remain

plunged in from the one. Bra

THERE WAS no rest for the
weary Tigers in the second half

One highly unusual facet of
the game was the complete
absence of turnovers Neither
team lost the ball via a fumble
or pass interception, an uncom

ed contest
IT IS RARE that Georgia
head coach Vince Dooley is not
able to point out a plethora of
errors even when his teams
win But after the 38-0 rout.
Dooley said. We ran well, we
blocked well, we threw well
About the only thing we didn t
do well was cover our punts.
Our punt coverage was the
worst part of our game
Two unexpected sources

help against the Tigers In spot
duty running backs Donnie Al

yards in 16 rushes between
them

Defense appears strong;
Russell cites players
By JIM WYATT
Assistant sports editor
An important trademark of
Georgia football teams in the
last few years has been a tough
stingy defense The Bulldogs
led the SET in total defense in
1967 and 1968 In 1969. the team
led the SEX' in pass defense and
were sixth in the nation in scor
ing defense. (10 1 points per
game)
This season's team is another
fine defensive unit as shown in
the two games this year with
Tulane and Clemson
The whole defensive unit
performed well against Clem
son limiting them to 137 yards
total offense and no score, a
rarity in college football today
where there is great emphasis
on offense
Krskine Russell head defen
sive coach, praised tb° whole
squad commenting that, there
were no weak spots, everyone
played well
RONNIE ROGERS, a senior
defensive guard, led the Bull
dogs in tackles with six unass
isted and five assisted tackles
Dennis Watson another defen
sive guard, played a good game
with six unassisted and four
assisted tackles
Russell said, the pass rush
put good pressure* on the quart
erback and the pass coverage
was good Coach Russell
praised the defensive backfield
of Bill Darby. Buck Swindle,
and Buzzy Rosenberg
Speaking of Rosenberg, the
fine punt returner. Russell
added. Rosenberg showed
several good deep coverages
Coach Russell cited the of
fense s fine performance as a

great help in the fine defensive
effort The offense controlled
the ball game so that the de
fense was in good field position
all but one time
The Bulldog defense ran 52
plays compared to the 83 run by
the Georgia offensive units
THE PUNT returning of
comerback Buzzy Rosenberg
has added not only an element
of thrill to the game but also a
potential score each time the
opponents decide to punt
The return of cornerback
Phil Sullivan is anticipated
with joy since this year's team
only weakness is a lack of a
great deal of depth
Coach Russell said the team
is looking carefully forward to
the Mississippi State game
because State is a much better
team than expected this year
He commented that, 'they
have speed and can throw the
bal
Mississippi State is expected
to present a balanced attack of
running and passing for Bulldog
defense to stop
Coach Russell said." they
would rather make it on the
ground if possible, referring
to State's offensive team
All summed up. the 1970
Bulldog defense stacks up to be
equal to the standards of anoth
er outstanding defensive squad
