But Devine was too stubborn. Thought he was still running that powerhouse backfield from the old Mizzou-Husker games. Hunter went 12-24 for 150 and 1 INT with 2 sacks. We ran the ball 29 times for only 78 yards.If this was the 60s Starr would have told Lombardi what the D was doing and countered what he saw rather than get put in 3rd and long each series. Granted that Hunter did not have Bart's instincts or much of an arm, but Bart would have used play fake wheel routes, TE seams, and quick sideline out patterns. If that loosened the D he would then pound with the backs. And that would lead to play action and an occasional long shot. Starr faced George Allen when he was both with the Bears and Rams. He knew what to expect. Devine did not.</blockquote>
