Maxie-I remember like it was yesterday when we opened the season at the U. of Tampa when Tampa was really good. They had Matuszak (DT-Raiders), Freddie Solomon (WR-49ers), Noah Jackson (OG-Bears), Paul Orndoff (TE who went on to wrestling fame), Sammy Gellerstadt (NG transfer from Alabama who made the all-SEC FR team then got into some trouble), & several other very good football players.
Coach Lewis & I were outside, sitting on a bench, when the Tampa team took the field for pre-game warmups. We looked at each other & mutually thought, "what the h... are we doing down here?"
Well, we unleashed 2 FR that night--Quick Six McDaniel & Roland Harper that Tampa had never seen to go with the Lefty at QB, Roger Carr, Pat Tilley, & Mike Barber. About 3 hours later we had laid a good butt-kickin' on Tampa, one which they could hardly believe. Ken Lantrip had a great, great night & Quick Six & Roland made their bones on the college level.
Interesting quotes in Atlanta paper on Bennett.

Hopefully the NCAA didn't read that and give Champion another year of eligibility!
