...celebrated its reunion right after the opening kick-off, marching 70 yards into the Columbia endzone in nine straight running plays. Foster's third down interceptions and incompletions cooled off the runner's momentum for a while, but the Crimson revived in the second period to break two long touchdown runs, one a 28-yarder by DeMars (his second touchdown), the other a 29-yarder by Ritchie Gatto...
Packers lost a sloppy 42-40 opener to the New York Giants, Hunter partially redeemed the day by ripping the Giant secondary for nine completions and two touchdowns. The following Sunday, Hunter drew the starting assignment over aging (39) Zeke Bratkowski; he engineered the Packers' methodical offense shrewdly and scored a touchdown himself as Green Bay walloped the Denver Broncos, 34-13. His self-assurance has also won over his teammates. Said Cornerback Ken Ellis: "One thing you never have to worry about is confidence in a passer from Alabama." The Packers are certainly one team that should have...
...came to the lowly Patriots from Stanford as the N.F.L.'s No. 1 draft choice. In the season's opener against Oakland, one of the strongest teams in the American Football Conference, Plunkett completed only six of 15 passes; but two were touchdown tosses of 33 yds. and 22 yds., and he led the Patriots to a stunning 20-6 upset victory.

...cannot win a championship with a scrambling passer, Manning may yet prove the exception. Directing a green team (eight rookies in the starting lineup) against the experienced Los Angeles Rams, Manning kept the rugged Ram defense off guard with his fancy footwork and completed 16 passes, one for a touchdown. Then he closed the game in a style reminiscent of his Merriwellian history at Ole Miss: with one second left on the clock he dived over the Ram goal line to give the Saints a 24-20 victory. The following Sunday, San Francisco blitzed both of their outside linebackers...
...Pastorini of Houston, 6 ft. 3 in., 216 Ibs., hurled 35 touchdown passes at Santa Clara, but was still relatively unknown outside California until the close of the 1970 season. Then he was named most valuable offensive player in the East-West Shrine game. Pastorini, who is also the Oilers' punter this season, got his chance last Sunday in the second half against the Kansas City Chiefs. Sent in to replace ineffective veteran Charley Johnson, Pastorini nearly handed the mammoth Chiefs their second upset in a row. Although he suffered two interceptions, he completed ten of 21 passes...
