A tight game at the half became a blowout inside the first six minutes of the second half. Before the Zips (10-4) were done, thanks to senior Brian Walsh scoring 10 of his 12 points in a 21-8 Akron run, the Broncos (8-6) were already reeling back to Kalamazoo, Mich.

The compilation of the All-America roster was supervised by a panel of analysts working in large part with the historical records contained in the files of the Dr. Baker Football Information Service. The roster consists of only those players who were first-team selections on one or more of the All-America teams that were selected for the national audience and received nationwide circulation. Not included are the thousands of players who received mention on All-America second or third teams, nor the numerous others who were selected by newspapers or agencies with circulations that were not primarily national and with viewpoints, therefore, that were not normally nationwide in scope.

MANNING AGAIN ON SUNDAY NIGHT! Two 8-0 teams? Win this week as the NFL reaches the midpoint of its season and the Chicago Bears and Indianapolis Colts can match a milestone reached only three times in NFL history and not since 1990. Remember the Portsmouth Spartans (forerunner of the Detroit Lions)? They and the Green Bay Packers were the first to go 8-0 in a season: TWO AT 8-0 SEASON 8-0 TEAMS 1931 Green Bay Packers & Portsmouth Spartans 1934 Chicago Bears & Detroit Lions 1990 New York Giants & San Francisco 49ers 2006 Chicago Bears & Indianapolis Colts (both 7-0) The Colts last week tied the 1929-31 Packers as the only teams to win at least their first seven games in consecutive seasons. Green Bay started 10-0, 8-0 and 9-0 in those years. “It’s incredible,” says Colts linebacker GARY BRACKETT. “Sometimes, people take it for granted that you’re supposed to win. But 7-0 in two consecutive seasons is really something.” As the NFL reaches midseason, teams are starting to look down the road to the playoffs. “It’s not over,” says wide receiver DONALD DRIVER of the 3-4 Packers, who have won their last two.
