Nah, they've got nothing, NADA, zilch!
I loved when we played Northeast during those days. Those games were barnburners.
As I recall HC was Coach A.L. Williams. As fine a man and class act as you will ever meet. Coach Williams coached none other than THE Blond Bomber while he @ Woodlawn/Shreveport, and is largely responsible, to this day, for Tech being a prolific passing program. If you have access to Facebook and have not seen the roundtable discussion with A.L. Williams, Joe Raymond Peace, Mickey Slaughter, hosted by Skip, it's well worth your time. https://www.facebook.com/LATechAthle...2463458907903/
Had the opportunity to chat with Coach A.L. Williams at some gathering at NSU...whatever it was. We were talking and I told him he did a good job at both NSU and at Tech, and then we got into discussing some specific Tech games. We were just shooting the breeze, reminiscing, and his wife comes over and says to him, "we have to get going." Coach says to her, "not yet, honey, this fellow is telling me what a great coach I was." She says, "Y'all are talking football! Okay, I'll check back in 30 minutes."
Cute couple.
The Tech DBs were watching film and saw how soft the SWAC DBs were. Valley would run these short spread pass routes and the SWAC DBs would gently tackle them. Tech decided to punish every short throw and all of the Valley WRs, including Rice, had alligator arms by the end of the game
Won my first bet for money, in my life, on the BC/Miami game.
