Advice On Stopping Backs In All-America Bowl
Merlin Olsen of Utah State, 1961 Outland Trophy winner, cautions that stopping Syracuse star Ernie Davis and Ohio State’s Bob Ferguson requires more than brute force. He notes moving, tackling, and avoiding overloading manpower, while acknowledging the size advantage West players hold. Assistant Bill Murray agrees, citing large backs like Roman Gabriel and Davis and Ferguson, with North Carolina State’s quarterback ready to throw. Syracuse coach Walter Schwartzwalder quips about “fleas against the elms” as the East debates strategy.
