Tim Abena, I believe.
Tim was a talented running back/punter.
He sat out the 1967 season but decided to come back in 1968.

To put this into context, on Stanford's first possession, the offense had driven successfully to the USC 22 yard-line for 1st and 10.

Remound Wright then got a 12-yard gain to make it 4th and 20 at the 32 yard-line. Williamson came on and promptly missed the 49-yard FG.(01-05-2019, 04:40 PM)qwerty49 Wrote: 1.

3. IIRC Shaw punted from the Northwestern 37 and also from the $C 32. Has Stanford ever punted from closer than the 32?
4. (I don't know the answer): Bailey got off an 86-yd punt for a touchback in the Sun Bowl. What's the longest, non-touchback punt in Stanford history?
Didn't Shaw punt from the 29 during the 10-13 loss to U$C on 9/6/14? I seem to recall the punt went into the end zone for a net nine yard punt.
On the second possession of the game, the offense moved down to the USC 17 (1st and 10). Kelsey Young gained 4 yards, but on the next play, Montgomery fumbled the ball for a 16-yard loss. After an incomplete pass, Stanford found itself with 4th and 22 at the USC 29 (three yards closer than the last FG attempt). This time, Shaw opted not to send Williamson onto the field and punted from the 29. Net gain after the touchback: 9 yards.

A very frustrating game in a very frustrating year. We would repeatedly march deep in U$C territory and come away with nada.
The year caused some of the same gloom and doom predictions for 2015 that we are hearing now for 2019.

I was at the game in Stockton. But I don’t recall much. Probably thinking about that looong plane trip coming up to Southeast Asia

Why didn’t you say hello. I was with wife number one and you could have saved me a ton of trouble. LOL.

Wish I had. lol. Phogge, Williams started almost off of 1967.

Thanks for bringing up such bad memories. But I have to tell you, that net 9 yard punt from their 29 was not the worst part of the game. Follow these plays, which happened in sequence after USC scored its only touchdown in the 3rd quarter to tie the game:
1. During the extra point, USC gets a sideline violation. It's their second, so that means 5 yards and a kickoff from the 30.
2. Sarkisian goes crazy at the refs, and gets a 15 yard unsportsmanlike penalty. (Yes, this is the call that brought not-so-golden boy Pat Haden down on the field.)
3. USC kicks off from their own 15. Ty Montgomery rips off a nice return to the 50.
4. But wait, there's more! On the return, Montgomery is hit out of bounds. Another 15 yards. Ball on the SC 35.
5. But wait, there's even more! The SC player who hit Montgomery, a LB, is called for targeting. He's tossed!
What happened next, after all this largesse from the SC side? Hogan hands off to Remound Wright. The ball is fumbled. SC recovers. Just like that.

Who replaced Gene Washington as QB in 66?
I think it was Marquess, wasn't it?
I think Chuck Williams was in '67.
Now my memory is going bad.
What about Dave Lewis?
01-07-2019, 06:37 PM
Lewis took over in 1966. Was he a RB in 67? Don’t recall. However what an arm.
01-07-2019, 07:25 PM
Lewis was moved to RB to make way for Washington in ‘66. He had a 90 yard run against Tulane. After it was clear that Washington was not an accurate passer about mid season Ralston moved Lewis back to QB. His last season. Marquess started the next year at QB and was replaced mid season by Chuck Williams.
Lewis’ punts were artworks. He would have been an ideal single wing TB.
