Logan and Foothill have had their history together, as they have both knocked each other out of the NCS playoffs in the last two years. Foothill's one up on the Colts now, because, by the end of this game, Foothill had taken advantage of Logans six fumbles by recovering four of them on their way to victory.
Logan did not waste time in turning the ball over; fumbling on the first two kickoffs, one of which resulted in a Foothill touchdown.

From wikipedia:
Sanford Emory Stephens II (September 21, 1940 - June 6, 2000) was an African-American football player and civic leader. Stephens was born and raised in the Pittsburgh area city of Uniontown, Pennsylvania and is best known for his career as a college football quarterback at the University of Minnesota. He was a member of Alpha Phi Alpha, the first intercollegiate Greek-letter fraternity established for African Americans.
Stephens was the first black man to play quarterback at the University of Minnesota and remains the only quarterback to take the Gophers to the Rose Bowl (1960 and 1961). In 1960, he led the University of Minnesota to an 8-2 record and the national championship. Stephens became the first African-American major-college All-American quarterback and finished fourth in the Heisman Trophy balloting. In 1961, Stephens received the Chicago Tribune Silver Football as the Most Valuable Player of the Big Ten Conference.
