that was a fantastic team! Just steamrollered opponents. And - was it '55 or '56? don't remember - but I do remember that team also when for some reason Sanders put in his second string FB - Peters I think I recall - in a mud bowl game at Maryland - we were down 6-0 and finally put together a drive and on fourth down, he - Peters again iirc - went into the line. The refs ruled he didn't cross the goal line but pix in the following day's papers showed that he actually did. Our only loss of the season on a bad call. What a stretch of great teams that was from '53 on until Coach Sanders' untimely (but very interesting) death.
