But the biggest stunner of all was supplied by Purdue, which had suffered four straight defeats. The Boilermakers came to life against Michigan State, unbeaten in 28 games, and upset State 6-0. With Michigan State and Georgia Tech toppled in one day, only unbeaten Maryland, which easily whipped Miami 30-0, was in any remote position to challenge Notre Dame as the U.S.'s No. 1 team...
