Review the 1967

HOOSIER FOOTBALL SEASON

on DVD!

This dvd is a regular season review

of the 1967 season.

It is narrated by Coach John Pont.

The Indiana University football team has often been tailenders, and in Pont’s first two years at Bloomington, he won a total of three games. But his 1967 team, lead by three sophomores — quarterback Harry Gonso, tailback John Isenbarger and flanker Jade Butcher — went 9-1 during the regular season, losing only to Minnesota.

Indiana finished in a three-way tie for the Big Ten championship with Minnesota and Purdue; it became the conference’s representative in the Rose Bowl because it had never been to Pasadena.

As the victories mounted, thousands of stunned Indiana students had crowded into the university’s fieldhouse to watch road games on closed-circuit television.

On New Year’s Day 1968, around 15,000 Hoosiers fans waved pompoms amid a Rose Bowl crowd of almost 103,000 as Indiana faced a powerful Southern California team. Pont finally ran out of miracles as the Trojans’ O J Simpson ran for 2 touchdowns and gained 128 yards in Southern California’s 14-3 victory.

Indiana was ranked No. 4 by The Associated Press, and Pont was named the major college coach of the year by the American Football Coaches Association and the Football Writers Association of America.

“I think what most of our fans remember is not that we got beat, but that we got there,” Pont told The Evansville Courier & Press in 2002 of that Rose Bowl appearance. The Hoosiers, while making various bowl appearances over the years, have never returned to the Rose Bowl.

This is a Great collectable for any
