I remember that Holy Cross loss well.  I, in high school and eventually SU class 64, and my father, SU class 26, had season tickets in old Archbold in the upper concrete around the 45 yard line.  I, the other day in the score predictions section, entered "Tim Green 20 - Tom Greene 19."  I knew what I was doing.  It was the score of the Holy Cross game in 1957 at Archbold, with Cuse losing 19 - 20; I was there.  I used "Green - Greene" for obvious reasons. The next year 1958, at HC, SU lost 13 - 14.  I used Tim Green because of the last name, but I very well could have used Ron Luciano, our terrific All-American lineman on our teams back then.

These losses were sandwiched between the Jim Brown years and the 1959 national champs, and at the time were quite concerning and disappointing.  So, what happened?  Tom Greene happened.  He was HC's quarterback, a multi-sport athlete, nationally famous.  And on the football field he did everything, and did them well.  After college, he was the "Boston" Patriots first QB.  To this day, I can't forget those losses and Tom Greene, a worthy opponent.
