Desperate to stop the wild Penn scoring surge, Coach Floyd Wilson switched to a man-to-man defense for the first time this season in the second half. Unhappily it proved of little use, as Penn rank its first 14 points of the second half without missing a shot...
After only 5½ minutes, with a fourth down on the Wisconsin 13, U.S.C. Coach John McKay sprang a clever trap on the Badgers, who were playing a man-to-man pass defense. Trojan Tackle Ron Butcher came scurrying on field with a rarely used play. "IG84-weak tackle look," Quarterback Beathard muttered in the huddle.

Offensive patterns were worked through to their logical conclusion, and both the zone and the man-to-man defense held...

He lashes his Huskies through practice sessions on the dead run, stages man-to-man duels between competing linemen, expects injured players to get off the field under their own power. "When the going gets tough," says Owens, "the tough get going." This year Owens has a lean, agile line that averages 6 ft. 2 in., 208 Ibs. per man...
