they came out expecting to win and coasted, cuogs got lucky breaks, Chuck Nelson missed key field goal, goal posts in the river.

I never fear the Cuog when they have something to play for. When they don’t, however... I worry.

Coach James the players were screwing around at practice that week thinking the Rose Bowl was in the bag. He got so mad he threw them off the field one day. After the loss, he said he agonized for months about how he failed to get through to them.

Would never have been an issue at Penn State.
