''Don't be a bad dagh..."
Did ya'll see these 1968 Grantland Rice Bowl videos? https://twitter.com/LaTechReport/sta...54231858102272
We got "El Aye Tech'ed" in the banners that they made. Time to email those bowl people (assuming they're still alive).
Great fun watching.
Quite a remarkable TD pass by Terry Bradshaw at the 7:15 mark of the 3rd video (part 3). It was Tech's 4th TD of the game, giving Tech a total of 27 points. Somehow, Bradshaw makes the TD throw to Tech receiver Larry Brewer despite having 4 or 5 Akron Zips ALL OVER HIM. In fact, in today's game, I believe that play would have whistled dead before he made that throw.
Other observations in these videos:
- The punting was bad, particularly in the 1st half. Real bad. By both teams. I'm talking Junior High school bad.
- Terry Bradshaw was not perfect. He made several really bad throws in this game.
- Lots of dropped passes, especially a lot of dropped potential INT's by both teams.
- Bradshaw was not afraid to run, and he did so quite often. I never saw a slide.
- Bradshaw made an outstanding run for Tech's 5th TD (9:26 of the part 3 video).
- With Tech holding a 33-13 lead late in the 4th Qtr, Bradshaw is eventually replaced by a QB wearing #27. Does anyone know who this is?
- For some reason (#27 may have been hurt), Bradshaw comes back into the game (at 3:28 of the 4th video) and promptly throws an INT.
- #27 comes back into the game at QB on the very next series, the last of the game.
- The Band of Pride went out onto the field and celebrated with the players after the final whistle.
Maybe Ken Lantrip?
