After reading MightyMu’s story here, I went back and looked at Purdue’s record that year. When Miami played PU, they had already lost 2 games (one to ND) and were 2-2. They had high hopes for the season and I am guessing Young wanted to make it look like more of an easy victory. Still poor sportsmanship in my book. Anyway, they went onto a successful season and a bowl win that year.

In that case, he should have known better than to do that to Miami, especially with the Michigan game the next week.

Cincy,
I was at that game as well and I’m still mad to this day about Young taking those TO’s to run up the score in what had been a much closer game.
Glad to hear MightyMu1 story.
