football. Purdue vs ND. ND driving for a touchdown, and Rocky Bleier fumbles and the ball is in the hands for Leroy Keyes who runs some 94 yards for a PU touchdown. On the ensuing kickoff, Nick Eddy goes 97 yards for a ND touchdown. Two 90+ yard touchdowns in the space of a couple of minutes . . .

My first game in ND Stadium. *

Keyes recently was named to the Mount Rushmore of Purdue football in an online poll, joining quarterbacks Drew Brees and Bob Griese and defensive back Rod Woodson.

Also featuring Mr. Fling to Mr. Cling. I remember watching

Who would have thought on that day

Griese would have better professional career than Hanratty?

Thanks
