...Colts are not the ideal team for anyone to face in its NFL debut. They have one of the League's best defensive lines (reinforced now with Bubba Smith, an amazing giant from Michigan State who played the whole game at defensive end), the League's classiest (if not best) quarterback, and the surest group of receivers in the business. That's a tall order for the Patriots, who have been scrambling to put some kind of consistent offense-defensive secondary ent offense and defensive secondary together...
Reggie Smith won the game in the Sox half of the inning. First up, he hit a sinking liner to right that skipped past California outfielders Bubba Morton for three bases. Ace reliever Minnie Rojas, who had given up his third and fourth home runs of the season the night before to the Sox, struck out catcher Russ Gibson and got pinch hitter Jerry Adair to hit a grounder to third.

Smith's size alone is enough to earn him raves, but the cheers are muffled by doubts: "He is a mauler. But his trouble is that he fails to go all out all the time. Maybe for money he will-but in college he would kill you for three plays, then rest for two." Page's problem, if any, is just the opposite-overeagerness. "He is so quick that...
...four" that weighed in at 240 lbs. a man, and an explosive offense that had averaged 404 yds. and 37 points per game. Their opponent this time: Michigan State, ranked No. 2, undefeated in 19 regular-season games, a team that boasted five All-Americas, including Defensive End Charles ("Bubba") Smith, who tips the scales...
