It was a blocked punt he returned 35 yards for a TD  Best offense Iowa had all day.

I have a hazy recollection watching  him picking up a fumble and running through half the opposing team for a td.  It was the only bright spot on a day there the Hawks were getting their lunch handed to them.  


Was that the Jerry Burns last year which started with high expectations (Playboy#1 preseason) and ended up winning just 1-2 games?


Go Hawks!

This from Hawk Talk Daily:
  
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Fifty years after playing his final University of Iowa football game, Dave Long was presented his "I" Ring on May 12 at the Carroll Area I-Club. An emotional Long, who played defensive end and tight end, received his well-deserved ring from UI head coach Kirk Ferentz.
  
Dave played while I was in school.  One of the funniest things I ever saw at a football game was when Long was knocked silly during a play, got up staggered around and cold cocked with a right to the jaw of the first thing moving he saw—an official!  He was so out of it that I don’t think he was even punished.  The official got up and seemed to be all right. 
  
It was hilarious.
  
Dave Long was one tough customer.
