Thanks for the link.  Watched the whole thing.

The extensive use of yearbook photos and replays was funny to watch.  The broadcasts were really primitive in those days.

We were by far the tougher and more physical team but almost totally one dimensional. Our passing plays were really bad.  TCU had an amazingly sophisticated passing attack and a polished QB and that win the game for them.

Jim Brown was a tremendous talent.  Wish we tried just one or two screens to him.  At 212 pounds, I believe he was the heaviest starter on Syracuse.  Some of the starting OL for SU didn’t even weigh 200 pounds.

We had a fine end named Lasse which Curt kept mentioning was a weight lifter, like it was some exotic hobby.

TCU had a RB who was the all time leader in rushing in the SWC.  Swick looked like a decent player but nothing more.  He ended up with something like 15 yards rushing in his career in the NFL.

Gowdy was okay at football but made a number of mistakes.  Did not seem as comfortable or smooth as he was doing baseball in the 1970s.

The announcers that introduced me to baseball were Curt Gowdy and John Harmon and both were great at what they did.
