Why a tie?
For starters, Steve Wadiak had, at the time, the greatest rushing performance in school history with 256 yards on 19 carries.
Also, it was the only blemish on the 9-0-1 Tiger's record...if there ever was a time for a tie to ruin a perfect season, this would be one of those times.
Third, rare video of Wadiak rushing in the game.
It's a shame this Wadiak memorabilia is tucked away in the bowels of Williams-Brice.
Here’s a trophy for Wadiak earned for the “Outstanding Player” of the homecoming game in 1949. In the background is another trophy with Wadiak’s name on it.
Wadiak playing in the Senior Bowl, his final game. Scored only TD for the South.
