1975 Season Stats

Tagged as the Cougars' Centennial football game, the contest had the usual heroics the homecoming fans had hoped for.

Again, the Cougars had to score three touchdowns in the second half to take the lead.

Gifford Nielsen completed 14 of 19 passes for 229 yards. His targets were receivers John VanDerWouden (5 for 109 yards) and Jeff Nilsson (7 for 95 yard, one TD).

AFA's Dave Lawson had a shot at the NCAA career field goal record, but missed on two close attempts.

Prior to the game, the Falcons had a nationally ranked pass defense (64.7 yards per game).

A full house of 30,246 fans attended on a perfect afternoon.
