Had Sugar Bowl scout 'thinking'
Think State was worried?
By GLENN SHEELEY
Collegian Sports Editor
CHESTNUT HILL, Mass.
Even if Boston College’s
pressbox had come equipped
with oxygen tanks, Sugar
Bowl scout Monk Simon
would have been gasping for
air
The 3-5 Eagles, three
touchdown underdogs to the
bowl-bound Nittany Lions,
were driving for the go-ahead
touchdown late in the third
quarter Saturday and Simon
was squirming in his seat.
Nobody cared to predict his
condition had scrambling BC
quarterback Gary Marangi
not slipped at the 42-yard line
on fourth down with Lions Ed
O’Neil, Larry Ludwig and
Jim Laslavic in hot pursuit.
The result was a 22-yard
loss which snuffed out the
Eagles' momentum, helped
Penn State to a hard-fought
45-26 win and a Sugar Bowl
bid and took Simon off the
critical list.
“I won’t say 1 was
worried,” Monk said, ad
mitting his breathing was
back to normal, ‘‘but I was
doing a little thinking.”
You see, Boston College had
this sophomore running back
named Mike Esposito. With a
reportedly bruised leg, he
staggered Penn State’s
usually stingy defense for 115
yards rushing and bugged
coach Joe Paterno all af
ternoon.

However, the Lions, not up
for tarnishing their Sugar
Bowl bid, countered well.
Quarterback John Hufnagel
pulled in Heisman Trophy
votes by completing 13 of 22
passes for 271 yards and two
touchdowns, and rushed eight
times for 92 yards and two
more scores. His per
formance set a new Lion total
offense record (363 yards)
and gave him the single
season passing yardage mark
(1,779) and total offense
(1,959).
Not to be outdone by
Esposito, PSU tailback John
Cappelletti butchered his leg
on the opening kickoff but still
gutted out 107 yards rushing
with two TD’s.
Paterno, strangely meeting
the press afterwards in the
penalty box of the nearby BC
hockey rink, admitted it was
no easy victory.
“I told Esposito after the
game that was the best
performance by a sophomore
running back that I’ve seen in
20 years. He reminds me a lot
of Roger Kochman,’’ Paterno
said.

“BC didn’t surprise me,”
he said. "All we looked at last
week were BC-Syracuse
films. They blew Syracuse off
the field (a 37-0 win). We
knew we were going to be in
trouble. I thought they played
awfully well.”
Hufnagel and Cappelletti,
who along with fullback Bob
Nagle (69 yards) accounted
for most of Penn State’s 301
yards rushing, also got the
good word.
“I really think you saw the
Heisman Trophy winner out
there today,” Paterno said of
Hufnagel. “If there's a better
football player anywhere, 1
don’t know about him. People
get jittery, but I never get
jittery with him around.
Cappelletti, who rushed for
100-plus yards for the fifth
time this season and passed
the 1,000 mark for the year,
drew raves, too.
“Boy, he was really run
ning over people out there
today,” said his coach. “He’s
getting to be a real tough
clutch back.”
The Lions moved ef
fortlessly on their initial drive
as Nagle, giving Cappy an

Penn State was on the move
again, the highlight an un
believable one-handed grab
by Gary Hayman at the BC
three Hufnagel’s keeper on
fourth down made it, 14-6.
Esposito then had the
Eagles flying compiling 31
yards on five carries. On the
first play of the second period
Marangi saw Briggs shed
safety Greff Ducatte’s
coverage and nailed him for a
14-yard pass. Esposito tried
and failed at a halfback
conversion pass and the Lions
led only, 14-12.
