Delaney's chief target is Mike Telep, a bruising tight end. Leading the rushing attack is veteran tailback George Georges, who gained 64 yards last week...
McKay's soft sell did not exactly send the Trojans storming back onto the field. But Sophomore Anthony Davis, for one, got the message. Midway in the third quarter, the tiny (5 ft. 9 in.) tailback splashed around left end and went 48 yds. for a touchdown. Minutes later, following the solid blocking of Center Dave Brown and Guard Allan Graf, Davis splattered for 55 yds. and another score.

And from the way he's played in Cornell's first three games, the Big Red has lost nothing in the exchange...

In the past 20 seasons, such celebrated Heisman heroes as Notre Dame's Johnny...
