UCLA played at Stanford in '73 in what was anticipated to be a competitive game. Led by Mark Harmon, Kermit Johnson and James McCalister, Rodgers and his wishbone offense rushed for 621 yards in a 59-13 victory.

Didn’t Rogers run the wishbone? Remember him from his years at UCLA. I think Mark Harmon was his QB.
