# 22 Debut of the Pony Express (1980)

The offensive line won the offense game ball that game. And they well deserved it. The play was a called pitch. There was no option. James was going to get the ball all the way. Anthony Smith threw a key downfield block. Since it was a block away from the ball carrier’s action, it doesn't receive the credit it deserves. The Defense was outstanding that day. Great plays all around. "The Pitch" gets all the glory but it was "the team" that won the day. Mrydel, I hear if you ask that Fox guy about that block, you can't get him to shut up.
