With high hopes dashed by an "archaic single wing offense" and internal strife, the Cougars faced a tumultuous journey. Discover how Coach Hal Mitchell's tenure unraveled amid honor code violations and a disappointing 2-8 record, despite the efforts of players like Phil Brady and Alan Robinson.

Explore the dynamics of a season marked by coaching changes and the impact of losing key player Eldon Fortie. The episode unpacks the strategic missteps and administrative conflicts that led to Mitchell's dismissal and the swift hiring of Tommy Hudspeth.
