HATS (AND DERBIES) OFF TO THE HOSE 1986FIGHTING THROUGH A TOUGH SEASON Pre-season predictions of a team worth playoff power seemed verified on September 13, when PC rolled over Georgia Southwestern, 35-10. The Hose chalked up 28 points in the first half alone, and the defense stood tough to protect the lead. Georgia Southwestern ' s only scores were on a reverse on a punt return and on a second-half field goal. Down in Charleston, SC, Jimmy Lindsey ' s 97-yard kick off return sparked the team in a gut-wrenching game against the Citadel. PC ' s hopes were dashed when a pass on second-and-ten from the Citadel 17 was intercepted. The final score: PC 13, Citadel 15. Presbyterian rebounded the next week, defeating Lenoir-Rhyne 24- 0. The shutout before the , Parent ' s Day crowd was achieved by two goal line stands on the part of the defense. Scotty Mozingo scrambles tor extra yardage against Newberry in the Bronze Derby. 17

Fighting Through . . . Presbyterian defeated Wofford 31-7 in Spartanburg to stay on the winning track for one more week. Three Terrier turnovers in the first quarter gave the Hose an easy 13 points, enabling them to coast over their rivals. A Homecoming crowd of 3,500 braved a damp, cold drizzle to view P.C. ' s victory over Catawba, 12-0. P.C. ' s defense showed why it was ranked 1 in the nation, while scores by Evander Gerald and John Clark charged the offensive game. The flags that waved in the fall breeze at Elon were not welcomed by P.C. fans. Penalties for unsportsmanlike conduct were a measure of Blue Hose frustration, as they fell to Elon, 13-36. Elon scored on their first possession, and led 17-1 Oat the half. Chris Wingo ' s field goal pulled the Hose within four, but they were unable to pull any closer. Nature dominated the outcome of the loss to Mars Hill, 10-12. Due to untimely turnovers, f ars Hill was able to slosh to an early 1 2-0 lead. Although they pulled to within two, P.C. ' s hopes for a playoff bid floundered in the muck. In a high-scoring battle, the Paladin offense proved too much. P.C. fell to Furman, 31-45. The two blocked punts to Furman in the first half gave Furman a lead they never relinquished. i I John Clark heads for the endzone through a wide open field.
