The winning TD of the 1967 NFL championship “Ice Bowl” game (played in -15F weather)
was scored on a QB Sneak by the Packers’ Bart Starr.
Starr improvised the play at the line of scrimmage with no one else knowing what he was
going to do. The Packers had not run a QB Sneak all year, and in fact did not have one
in their playbook.
The play called in the huddle was a FB run.
Who was the FB then in the game for the Packers, and where did he go to college? (Packers fans disqualified from answering)
Chuck Mercein, Yale
