John Huarte's 74-point win over Jerry Rhome is the sixth smallest margin in Heisman history. Four of the top 10 returned to New York to play professionally, Huarte with the Jets and Timberlake, Frederickson and Morton with the Giants. Piccolo's tragic death from illness after he joined the Chicago Bears was the inspiration for the movie, "Brian's Song".
