   Posted: 9/7/2017 10:08:55 PM 
Here are a few selected pages from the game program for the last time I was in West Lafayette for an OHIO football game. This was an unusual game in that first-year player Bob Griese was playing QB in his first game. If he didn't win the starting QB role, he was going to be their place kicker, so he ended up scoring all the points in the 17-0 Purdue win. He scored two TDs, kicked two PATs, and then kicked a FG. I talked with Frank about this performance, and he said he'd never heard of a college player scoring all the points in a game like that. So it may, indeed, be some kind of obscure record.

Thanks OCF. I wonder if George Blanda accomplished a similar feat at Kentucky or in the NFL, but can't find anything.

Kinda weird the football game program was covered with a bunch of musical instruments.
