Although the Colonels were eventually stopped in the play- offs, it took the eventual I-AA winners to do it. 200 Sports The season began with a loss to the University of Tennes- see — Chattanooga.

Murray State University fell to the Colonels, 29-21, effec- tively curtailing the Racers ' chances for an Ohio Valley Conference championship. Crawford and Harris both broke 100 yards for the first time, a tradition for that would be repeated for the next 7 games. Victory was so close but too far when the colonels lost 202 Sports Photo by Jack Frost
