'85

IN THE NCAA FINAL, VILLANOVA PLAYED NEAR-PERFECT BASKETBALL to
topple the more talented Hoyas 66-64. Indiana coach Bobby Knight
threw a chair to protest a ref's call, but this time he wasn't
arrested for his outburst. Grambling's Eddie Robinson won his 324th
football game to overtake Bear Bryant as the winningest football
coach ever. SI touted Joe Dudek of Plymouth State for the Heisman
Trophy, but Auburn's Bo Jackson won it. In answer to the question
posed on the Feb. 25 SI cover -- no, Doug Flutie could not save the
USFL.
