With their three men playing off the line, their pursutt was good and it helped to stop our outside game.

So, we ran at them and successfully." INDEED, THEY did. While the tactic did not produce a flock of touchdowns, it moved the Spartans within field goal range six times and Krijt connected on four of them. After making his first four, he missed one and Marv Roberts also missed another long attempt Ohio State, which had averaged 31 points a game in its first seven victories, never The Spartans are now 4-4-1 for the year and 4-1-1 in the Big Ten race.

Pegged as a one-touchdown underdog to undefeated and highly ranked Ohio State, the inspired Spartans stayed even with the Buckeyes the first half, then stomped to an exciting 19-12 upset victory. "ANYTIME TOU beat a Woody Hayes-coached team, it -is an accomplishment Every win is satisfying, and when you win over a fine team like Ohio State and do it before a large television audience, it's more gratifying," Daugherty said in a very excited lockerroom.

Duffy Daugherty had fun. "That one has to go down very high on my list of most enjoyable victories," the veteran coach, who is hanging it up after the season, beamed after State's 19-12 upset victory over Woody Hayes and Ohio State. Mark Niesen had fun. "That was the greatest," the junior quarterback who scored State's only touchdown said in the wildest dressing room scene I've seen since '66. "It sure was fun calling the same play five straight times at the end of the game and watching Dave Brown go through the holes our line was opening." John Shinsky had fun.

"Remember that series in the second half when we sacked Ohio State's quarterback?" smiled the junior tackle who led the Spartan defenders in tackles with a dozen. "I think they" ended up with fourth and 45. We were swarming -all over them about that time. The defense all reached down inside and really stuck it to 'em. That sure was fun." Very Pardonable Mistake Shinsky exaggerated just a bit.

It was fourth and 26 yards to go, not 45. Mike Holt had fun. "The best part was the end of the game," said the junior halfback who gained 93 yards in 15 trips and delivered several key blocks for his backfield buddies. Billy Joe DuPree had fasL "I enjoyed it so much," the senior co-captain said, "I even had to cry just a little afterward. It was just great, just great.

I had more fun blocking today than I ever had in my life." Bill Simpson had fun. "The real fun came near the end when we were really dominating them. They were getting mad and were frustrated," the defensive back who intercepted his sixth pass of the season beamed. Mark Grua had fun.

"The second Tialf was the most fun," the outstanding senior -linebacker from Belief ontaine, Ohio, said. "When we shut off their offense, I just loved it. I know we all had fun today, but I'm from Ohio and it probably means a little more to me than some of the other fellas.

"I can come home with pride now. We beat Ohio State at Ohio State last year and-beat 'em again here today. Man, that's fun," Joe DeLamielleure had fun. "Best part of the whole afternoon was running off the field, knowing that we had won. Believe me, Ohio State is a very physical team, certainly the most physical one we've played this year," the senior offensive lineman said.

Brad VanPelt had fun. A Win For Everybody "It sure was fun seeing Duffy being carried off the field," the senior All-America safety know we vowed to win the last four for Duffy, but this one was for the other coaches, too. No doubt some of them win be leaving too, and we want them to go out a winner, too. "And we were happy for Denny Stolz, too. It might help him get the head job here and lots of the players would like that," he added.

Woody Hayes didn't have any fun, -3 "If you have been in this coaching business long, you have days like this," he said in a 14-sec-ond interview with reporters after the game.
