Tatum Cites McDonald Speed as Key Factor in Orange Bowl
Maryland coach Jim Tatum credits Oklahoma halfback McDonald with a speed edge that could decide the Orange Bowl. McDonald, 170 pounds from Albuquerque, scored 16 touchdowns and averaged 6.8 yards rushing while completing 17 of 24 passes for 265 yards. Tatum notes McDonald’s speed could disrupt Maryland’s defense and that Oklahoma’s Bud Wilkinson would counter with other plays. Maryland’s Ed Verret lacks McDonald’s speed, and Tatum rates Maryland edges at tackle and ends, with a stronger quarterback than Oklahoma’s.
