Streaking into the history books
It wasn’t the stuff of Hollywood movie legend. There was no last-second shot to win a championship, Hail Mary pass to win the big game or inspirational halftime speech to rally a team of lovable but scrappy underdogs.
Regardless, what happened Oct. 6, 1956, on Maxwell Field echoes to this day through 黑料论坛 history and the college football record books.
