Keyworth scored as Morton ran the "option" play and pitched the ball to him and he went in untouched for the "tainted" touchdown

Name the "undersized" lineman that was replaced by Tom Glassic....

Yes we have a winner! Lyons was 230 which even back then was on the small side! Heck, now that's running back size!

Wasn't it Jim Jensen? Keyworth and Perrin were the fullbacks if I remember correctly, although I may have that backwards?

I think Jenson was Fullback...............Perrin had over 400 yards as did Lyttle and Armstrong.

Wasn't Otis not very healthy as a result of a previous injury?

He pulled his hamstring during the 1975 season..........missed all but 1 1/2 games that year.............Came back in 1976 with over 1000..........and then.............Red Miller came to town.........His neck injury wasn't until around 1980.

What Bronco Tailback ( from the early to mid 70's) was almost an Otis Armstrong clone, but was given up on because of a TERRIBLE fumbling problem?
