European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - October 21, 1977, Darmstadt, Hesse Friday october 21, 1977 the stars and stripes Page 23 says Here Irish can take wind out of Trojan sails sudden stardom Sophomore quarterback Marc Wilson has become an instant celebrity at Brigham Young University and signs autographs for a pair of coeds in Provo Utah. In his first Start last weekend Wilson filled in for the injured Gifford Nielsen passed for a record seven touchdowns and ran for another while leading by Over previously unbeaten Colorado state 63-17. Up by Herschel Nissenson new York a you can say we really were looking ahead to notre Dame Southern Gal quarterback Rob Hertel said after the trojans breezed past Oregon 33-15 last weekend when some observers would t have been surprised to see the score approach the Century Mark. That s an excellent line. Well use it As the reason last week s forecasting score was a paltry 42 right and 22 wrong with three ties for a .656 percentage dropping the season count to 298-122-10 .710. Fans and alumni we were looking ahead to both notre Dame and Southern Cal this weekend. The classic intersection Al series started in 1926 and notre Dame holds a 26-18 Edge although the fighting Irish Haven t won since 1973, which also happens to be the last time they won College football s National championship. In fact in the last decade since notre Dame s infamous 51-0 rout in 1966, the Tro Jans boast a 7-1-2 advantage. There have been 13 major upsets in the series which have had a bearing on the National championship. Despite a 4-1 record notre Dame has been somewhat disappointing. The Irish needed an injury to Pitt s quarterback to beat the panthers lost to Mississippi used a frantic fourth Quarter rally to defeat Purdue and struggled past Michigan state before blanking army 24-0.nd quarterback Joe Montana could have said the Irish were looking ahead to Southern Cal but he did t.
