However, in his second career start,
the sophomore Samuels directed a
28-14 upset in Notre Dame Stadium
to end the Irish's 39-game unbeaten
streak.
1954: RALPH GUGLIELMI (NOTRE DAME)
AND LEN DAWSON (PURDUE)
This was a carbon copy of 1950. Like
Williams, Guglielmi directed an un-
beaten season as a junior and is in the
College Football Hall of Fame. Like
Samuels, Dawson was a sophomore
who led the upset of No. 1 Notre
Dame on its home field by almost the
same score, 27-14.
It was Notre Dame's lone loss of the
9-1 season, earning Purdue the "Spoil-
ermakers" moniker. Dawson would
become the first Purdue quarterback
to win a Super Bowl, for the 1969 Kan-
sas City Chiefs.
1966: TERRY HANRATTY (NOTRE DAME)
AND BOB GRIESE (PURDUE)
Hanratty was the neophyte soph-
omore making his first career start,
while the senior Griese — who had
Notre Dame's Terry Hanratty (right) outdueled Purdue's Bob Griese (left) in 1966, throwing for 303 yards
and three touchdowns in a 26-14 Irish victory.
