I think the N. Ky games weren't all closely contested as the scores look except the New Cath game.

This is something that gets lost in translation of games prior to the mid-90s or so. There was just a whole lot less throwing and a whole lot more "3 yards and a cloud of dust." Games that ended 14-0 or 21-7 would seem like nail biters today but were much wider than that same score would indicate in today's games.

I wonder if they tracked time of possession back then. Now those numbers probably tell a different story.
