Page 16 by Pat Cancro The Penn State machine continued to smash records as it rolled over Boston College 45-26 in last Saturday’s game. Bona fide Heisman Trophy candidate quarterback John Hufnagel broke two old records and one of his own in passing for 271 yards and two touchdowns and rushing eight times for 92 yards and two additional touchdowns: New records set were for one season passing yardage (1779 yards), eclipsing the old mark of 1616 set by Tom Sherman in 1967, and one season total of- fense (1959 yards) also set by Sherman: with 1761 yards in 1967. Hufnagel also surpassed the total offense record for a single game set by himself earlier in the season at 303 yards by leading the team with a spectacular 363 yards gained. Another personal milestone was set when tailback John Cappelletti, who needed only 67 yards rushing to have a vaunted 1000 yard season, rushed for 107 yards in 22 carries to. put him over the mark with one more regular season game to play. Both the Penn State Nittany Lions and the Boston College Eagles managed to score rather easily in the first half. State won the toss and promptly drove 79 yards in 13 plays to put the Eagles on notice that the Lions were in town and led 7-0 with 9:10 left to play in the first quarter. Not to be intimidated, the Eagles scored on their first play from scrimmage on an 83- yard TD pass from quarterback Gary Marangi to split end Mel Briggs. However, the try for a 2- point conversion failed and State held a narrow 7-6 lead. The Lions received the kickoff and again marched for the touchdown, this time going 80 yards in 10 plays. Boston College was proving that the Lions defense may not have been ‘“‘up’ for the game by again driving for the score, the touchdown coming on a 14-yard pass to Mel Briggs. After the Lions scored again on a 71 yard, nine play drive to make the score 21-12 Penn State, the defensive units ‘started to control the rest of the-first half. In the second half, Nittany Lion fans were beginning to become concerned - with = the defensive unit as Boston College took - the opening kickoff and marched 80 yards in 11 plays to make the score 21-19 Penn State. However, this was as close as the Eagles were to get as the defensive unit of Penn State suddenly started to look much better and came through with the aggressive style that the Lions are well noted for. After the offensive unit scored on a 48-yard field goal by Alberto Vitielk and led 24-19, the defensive unit made the critical play. The Eagles were moving and had a third and six at the Penn State 20-yard line when QB Marangi dropped back to pass. When the play ended, Lions Jim Heller, Bruce Ban- non, Jim Laslavic and Dave Graf had smothered Marangi on the 42 yard line for a 22 yard loss. That made it fourth and 28 and forced a Boston College punt. On, the next series, after Hufnagel had gained a first down running, he lost the ball to the Eagles on the Penn State 40 yard line. The defensive unit rose again to choke off the of- fensive unit of the Eagles and Hufnagel showed his gratitude by lofting ‘a 76-yard TD pass to Jimmy Scott who took the ball on the 50-yard line and raced by two Eagle defenders (who collided on the play) to make it 31-19 Penn State. Nittany Lion scoring was boosted ‘when John Hufnagel who had been executing the option toss to John Cappelletti all afternoon decided to keep it when the Eagles committed Whaterer vaur age. in the world.

Final scoring came on another option keeper by the Lion quarterback from six yards out to make it 45-19 Penn State with 5:00 left in the final quarter. Against a large number of substitute defenders, the Eagles managed their last touchdown, a 43-yard pass from Marangi to halfback Mike Esposito, a fine sophomore who gained 115 yards in 23 rushes and caught six passes for 74 yards. By the time Penn State and /Boston College meet again in 1981, this boy will have long graduated. The final score of 45-26 Penn State was impressive enough to send the Penn State team to the Sugar Bowl game in New Orleans Dec. 31 against the Sooners of Oklahoma. The battle of the currently nationally ranked teams should be a good contest for both teams. However, before further discussion of the Sugar Bowl, the Lions ‘have one more regular season game to play this Saturday against the Panthers from the University of Pittsburgh. The fact that the game will be the last home game for a large number of Lion seniors should be enough to psych-up the team for a winning performance against this traditionally bitter rival.” The Lions will make it 10 straight and carry a 10-1 record into the New Year’s Eve contest. ski clothing and equipment.
