Message: [QUOTE="OrangePA, post: 1617118, member: 204"] I'm pretty sure I read a magazine that ranked the 1971 Orange No. 1 going into the season. And that was not an isolated opinion. In his media guide that year, SID Larry Kimball concluded that the 1971 team was perhaps Ben's best team since 1959. And when they opened at home against Wisconsin that fall, it was very obvious that we had a very strong defense. But we were slow at RB, had an inexperienced and not so mobile QB - Bob Woodruff - and a bad kicker. We came back to tie the game against the Badgers in the last two minutes, and the kicker missed the winning PAT. And the team was never the same. [/QUOTE]
