This has been annoying me ever since someone 1st brought up the '65 team--who were their playmakers? I believe it was Tom Roth at QB and I think a Spokane kid at fullback (Eilmes?). Who were the other backs and top receivers? I could probably google this stuff but am too lazy and its too close to gametime.

As a young kid, that '65 team was the first one I ever followed. I distinctly remember Bob Robertson calling the play-by-play with several completions from Tom Roth to Doug Flansburg. Certainly, that team would've played in a good bowl game had there been the plethora of bowls that now exist.

Baird should be left off that list. He is a POS traitor !! #Wazzu #GoCougs
He was alright.
No Fillipini, Wendel or Cuddles - but that's not fair to rank with those who simply can't be replicated.
