BLACKSBURG – During the first Super Bowl, played 50 years ago on January 15, a Hokie actually reached the end zone.
Unfortunately, an official’s flag negated the play, much to the dismay of Carroll Dale, who had hauled in a 64-yard touchdown pass from quarterback Bart Starr in the second quarter. A linesman called a motion penalty on the Green Bay Packers.
“Honestly, after it was over, we looked at it over and over and there was no motion or movement,” Dale said via phone, softly chuckling.
