Was anyone else on this board at the 1964 game? It was a 17-0 loss with one very interesting statistic, perhaps not repeated in the history of American football. If you were there, you probably know what I'm talking about.
I wasn't there, but the Internet tells me that Bob Griese threw and ran for TDs, kicked 2 extra points, and kicked a field goal.
Ding, ding, ding, virtual chicken dinner . . . that's the prize for internet research versus memory! ;-)
Do you think there has ever been another game in at least modern college football where one player has scored all the POINTS in a game with multiple TDs and at least one FG? The reason for this is kind of interesting. Purdue had three young players all of whom they were trying out for QB. The game program, which I still have, said that the plan was to use one QB in each of the three non-conference games and then make a decision who the starting QB would be when the conference season started. If Griese hadn't made it at QB, he was going to be the place kicker; therefore, he kicked the extra points and the field goal. After his performance against OHIO, the Purdue coaches abandoned their original plan and Bob was their QB from that point on and he relinquished the kicking duties to someone else.
