Additional reporting by Jessica Vermillion The community spirit of the college was evident at the game. The hospitality tent had a signup sheet for people to claim that they "witnessed the Green Terror's drive to vic- tory." Posters spurring the team to victory were evident at the game and throughout the campus. Many alumni commented on the change in the team. ''The team was average when I was at school, nowhere near the caliber of this team," said Charlie Moore '71, a mem- ber of the Board of Trustees: Everyone was obviously very happy with the team's performance. "It feels great," said Steve onr, defensive line coach. "If there was a team that deserved [this honor], it was this team." The Terror did nOI start out too well with Hopkins scoring a field goal that put them into the lead. "The turning point came with Jeff Groff blocking that punt." explained Gill. Quarterback Ron Sennarini agreed. "It was a tough first half," he said. ''The defense did a great job."
