Davis Breaks Record
The 5-10, 180-pound signal
caller completed 14 of 23 passes for
217 yards, and rushed 21 times for
53 yards. Davis was his favorite
receiver, as the split end pulled in
seven passes for 135 yards, breaking
Jeff Anderson's single-game
Cavalier record of 132 yards set in
1968.
"Larry did a great job at
quarterback," said an elated Don
Lawrence in the locker room after
the game. "It is traditional for a
head coach to keep the game ball
after his first win, but Albert
played so well, I gave it to him."
Mr. Lawrence watched the game
from the press box, which is
unusual for a head coach. "I didn't
like being up there," he said, "but
I'll try anything in order to win. I'd
rather be close to the players, but
you can see better from up top. I'll
stay in the press box as long as we
keep winning, and I hope I don't
come down until 1980."
