It was Howard coming to town. It was all of that orange. And we also just happened to be a pretty good football team. Signs and banners were everywhere, welcoming ABC and the nation while blasting the hated Raiders. Roses are red.
Violets are blue.
It was a really big deal, I remember that. I remember that, too. Oakland's Clarence Davis ran around right end when he was hit by Broncos linebacker Bill Laskey. I don't think anybody had a chance to catch me. Oakland also got a 16-yard touchdown reception from former Colorado star Cliff Branch.
