One of the fans in attendance that day at Paul Brown Stadium was a 19-year-old Bills’ supporter from Williamsville, NY named Joe Licata.
“It was my freshman year in college,” said Licata. “It was a fun game – a lot of fun to watch. The Bills were undefeated and the Bengals beat them. We went to the Montgomery Inn for dinner. I remember the great food, the great views, and the awesome stadium.”
The following year Licata became the starting quarterback at the University of Buffalo and after breaking most of the school’s passing records, he signed with the Bengals in May as a college free agent.
