they only played 10 games in the regular season back then. Archie Manning was the most talented of the group of four on the cover of one magazine, in the first year of the quarterback, but when he suffered a broken arm, Joe had the best year of any of those QBs that year. I will say Plunkett led Stanford to victory over Ohio State in Rose Bowl that year but he had no where near the regular season Joe had. We had the one unlucky loss to USC at the end and of course we beat Texas to break their streak.
