Transcript | Big Red Off-Target Against Nittany Lions When the Nittany Lions of Penn State came down to Texas to play the Coogs, they gave the ball to their 225 pound fullback, Tom Urbanik, on the first play of the game. In less than five minutes, eight plays, and 73 yards later, the big back crossed the Cougar goal—and he carried all but one of those eight times. And Tom Urbanik, with 122 yards in 10 carries, tells the story of the 21-7 Penn State victory. Sophomore Bo Burris started in the quarterback slot for Big Red, but he never quite found his passing range, and the interceptions for State numbered four at game's end. Cougars Close Season Against Cincy Bearcats The Cincinnati Bearcats, champions from the Missouri Valley, closed the door on the Cougar's 1964 season—in fact, they slammed the door—with 20-6 take-home pay. It was Houston's final appearance before moving to the Harris County Domed Stadium for their 1965 season. Quarterback Brig Owens directed the Bearcats to a smashing 350 yards on the ground and in the air. Senior quarterback Jack Skog, in the last 10 seconds of his college football career, sailed a 58-yard pass to end Dick Spratt to put the face- saving six points on the board for the Coogs. For Skog it was the thirteenth scoring pass of his career, and the fourth scoring catch of the season for Spratt—both figures broke previous school stand-. ards. Cougar defensive back Tim Wright hoards six points from Tulsa. Nine senior Cougars played their last collegiate game against the Missouri Valley champion Cincinnali Bearcats. They arc Wilberl Patterson, Norn. Oates, Bus Brezina, Rocky Hernandez, Jack Skog, Wally Ludke, Joe Lopasky, and Horst Paul. ^ |
