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
