Message: [QUOTE="IthacaMatt, post: 3044676, member: 405"] They were unbelievably tough and hit really hard. The defense was unbelievable. They gave up very, very few rushing yards, and the passing game in the 1950s and early 60s was nothing compared to today. You go back and look at box scores and legends like Bart Starr threw the ball maybe 15 times in a Green Bay Packers game in the early 60s. Now, imagine so little passing and one of the very best rushing defenses in college football history. Then add a Heisman Trophy winner to the offense. Boom. I used to have one of those statistics-based board games for college football, where you could play teams from different eras against each other. And nobody could score on the 1959 Orangemen. [/QUOTE]
