Picking Saturday's Tough Ones

Navy over Boston College
BC's talented sophomores need more time, and Navy still has two good Joes (Bellino and Matalavage). They should be enough.

Penn State over Boston U.
Even without Richie Lucas, the Penn State larder is well stocked. Add a ripened T, and the Nittany Lions are too much for Boston U.

Georgia over Alabama (TV)
Georgia's SEC champions have the offense (and Quarterback Francis Tarkenton) to cut up Alabama's usual rugged defense.

LSU over Texas A&M
Despite heavy losses, LSU is still too formidable for the Aggies, whose quarterback problems have them groping for an attack.

Georgia Tech over Kentucky

These Yellow Jackets, strengthened by Sophomore Stan Gann's passing, can sting any defense—even one as tough as Kentucky's.

Missouri over SMU
Both have lost a lot, but most of SMU's offense departed with Don Meredith. Halfback Mel West gives Missouri an edge.

TCU over Kansas
The best Kansas team in years, they say, but can the Jayhawks get past Bob Lilly and Bob Plummer, those monstrous TCU tackles?

Texas over Nebraska

Mike Cotten, Jack Collins and Jim Saxton will lead the Longhorn stampede—despite firm resistance from toughened Nebraska.
