Didn't any of these experts on college football history know that the 71
team threw the ball to their Heisman trophy winner, Johnny Rodgers? The 71
team had a balanced offense that ran and passed about equally. I couldn't
tell you what the season totals were, but I remember games where I checked
the stats on saw approximately 250 passing, and 250 rushing.
