Danny was the primary target for Archie Manning while both played for the Saints. At that time, they played in the old Tulane Stadium (Sugar Bowl). Danny was definitely a fan favorite in New Orleans.

I remember going to one game there but it was when they played another now defunct team - the Quantico Marines.

If you go back a long way, pretty sure you will see Miami played the Marines too!
The first game I saw my freshman year-the Quantico Marines. I saw almost every game against X and Dayton during my stay in Oxford. Our âgroupâ went to X one year in sport coats and ties. About 20 or so guys. Glad we won. I remember Dayton being huge on the O line.

I wonder what huge was - probably like 240 pounds right?

Iâve got the program from the first game I ever attended at Miami Field - in 1966. The biggest guy on our roster was an offensive lineman who was 6â3 and weighed 238. We only had three players from outside Ohio.
Yep. Bo wanted our line backers to gain weight. They were only 180/190. He felt Dayton would destroy them. They didnât/couldnât bulk up though they tried. Miami still won.
As a bonus to me, I got lots of leftovers and bulked up from 127 to 135 and have not looked back since then.

In the 60s, âhugeâ was 6â8â 280s linemen or 6â6â 250s TEs like a few friends of my dadâs who were NFL players. (some went to P5, G5, and even D3 back then and still went to NFL)
