Steve Odom used reverse psychology against the University of Oregon early in the football season and ended up touchdown run with a the longest play the University of Utah Redskins have executed in the 1971 campaign. Odom, whose frame belies his tenacity once he pulls on the football regalia, came by the run very simply. Young Steve (the sophomore surprise is only 19 years old) did what quarterback Scooter Longmire ordered, for Odom to come arpund from his flanker spot and take the pigskin. From there, Odom called on d 5-- d his major field of study and outwitted psychology the opposition for the crosscountry jaunt.

Tose had said publicly prior to the final game of the season last year against Pittsburgh that unless the Eagles won that game handily both Williams and Retzlaff would be through. The Eagles won the game and Tose announced Retzlaff would stay but indicated he had not made up his mind about Williams and that the coach would have to produce. Williams was brought in by Retzlaff. who took over the front office job when Tose bought the club from Jerry Wolnian, who was forced out in a bankruptcy proceeding.
