There was nothing wrong with the Army defense on the play that set up Notre Dame's first touchdown; Seymour simply took two defenders up in the air with him, came down with the ball all to himself for a 19-yd. gain. North Carolina's Tar Heels tried a new tack altogether: absolutely blanket Seymour and hang the cost. It got pretty expensive. With Jim keeping three North Carolina defenders busy on one side of the field, the Irish gleefully ran up and down the other side and scored two quick touchdowns. The Tar Heels gave...
Walter Camp, wobbly ball and all, is college football's original immortal. And nobody at Notre Dame is ever likely to forget Gus Dorais and Knute Rockne, who on a grey afternoon in 1913 demonstrated for the first time how deadly the forward pass could be-by demoralizing an unbeaten Army team that outweighed the Fighting Irish by 15 Ibs. per man. Dorais threw, Rockne caught; the Irish soared 243 yds. in the air and upset mighty Army...
...through the '20s and '30s and even the '40s-when Notre Dame's Lujack was pitching to Leon Hart and Princeton's Dick Kazmaier was throwing strikes to Frank McPhee-the pass was a sometime thing. In his biggest year, Quarterback Lujack gained 791 yds. on passes, a figure that Terry Hanratty has already eclipsed this year with five games still to go. "The pass was a necessary evil," explains Whitey Piro, a onetime Iowa coach, now a scout for the pro Buffalo Bills. "You passed only when you were in trouble, when...
Starting at Four. It ought to be, considering how much effort goes into it. At Tennessee, Coach Doug Dickey allots 60% of his practice time to passing drills, only 40% to running-although passing accounts for only 40% of the Volunteers' offense. U.C.L.A.'s Prothro and Notre Dame's Parseghian both insist that their quarterbacks throw for at least half an hour every day, in season and out. The quarterbacks rarely have to be reminded. There's no trick to learning how to pass, says John Huarte, star of Parseghian's 1964 Notre Dame team...
Such Beautiful Balance. If a team can't win without passing, it also can't win by just passing-certainly not in the company that Notre Dame keeps. "Usually," says Southern Cal's McKay, whose unbeaten Trojans play the Irish on Nov. 26, "the really significant throwing teams-the ones that lead the nation in passing-are losers." Parseghian concurs. "What we are after is balance," he says, and balance he's got. Notre Dame's massive defensive line weighs in at 240 Ibs. per man and looks even bigger-mostly because of Tackle Kevin...
