LSU eventually turned the ball over at the Broncos 20. In what must have been one of the most vexing days in LSU annals, the last man, John Schiecht, stopped Milner. Ultimately, Rohm also went back in kick formation near the Bronco 25, but as his leg arched he handed the ball to Cotton Milner, who raced 21 yards to the 4. Santa Clara narrowly averted a safety in the fourth quarter, just inches from the goal line. Pellegrini’s PAT was wide, leaving the door teasingly open for LSU the rest of the afternoon. Coughlan, in almost one motion, made the reception and bounded into the end zone, despite the jolt of being hit by three Tigers. The play covered approximately 50 yards, but the 20 that were officially credited to Santa Clara gave the Broncos a first-and-goal at the LSU 9.Ī play later, Pellegrini took the snap and lofted a pass over end Jimmy Coughlan’s shoulder in the flat. As he reached the end, Barlow wheeled and threw diagonally across the field to quarterback Ray McCarthy. James Barlow, a substitute halfback, took the ball on what appeared to be a developing sweep to his left. With the Broncos on the Tiger 29, Coach Buck Shaw dug deep into his play-book and came up with a play he had used the year before against LSU. All those sportswriters remembered it the following year when, in all honesty, I didn’t have as good a season.”

On three of the five plays, starting with Rohm’s jaunt to the 4, Wolff was Santa Clara’s sole protector. As it turned out, I was able to save a touchdown.” “Something just told me they were going to try something wide, and instead of penetrating the way we were coached to do, I just ran laterally across the field. “I was able to save that touchdown because I broke one of our fundamental rules,” Wolff said. LSU put pressure on Santa Clara from the outset, getting a fumble recovery and driving to the Bronco 4, where Wolff prevented a touchdown by dropping Pinky Rohm. That said, LSU was dominate – and still lost. Our feeling was LSU would have to play over their heads to stay close to us.” But for the 1938 game, we were the better team. “The year before,” said junior tackle Al Wolff of Santa Clara, the first undefeated, untied team to play in the Sugar Bowl, “we knew we’d have to play over our heads to beat LSU. With all that, the Tigers spent the day threatening the Bronco goal line – but never getting in the end zone. The Broncos even returned the favor of their last meeting, losing three fumbles to LSU’s none. The Bayou Bengals out-gained (201-101) and out-first downed (10-4) Santa Clara. LSU may never have had a more frustrating game.
