FAMOUS QUOTES from Sammie Harris

I just happened to be in the right spot at the right time, I guess. Southern Cal's receiver hooked toward the outside. I saw their quarterback look at him, and I knew he was going to pass to him. I moved over and just got a hand on the ball in time.
...from Iowa vs. USC on 10/7/1961 - Sammie Harris talking about knocking down a pass on a two point conversion against USC that won kept the Trojans from beating the Hawks.


Yes, It was the greatest thrill of my football career. I didn't think I was going to catch the pass
...from Iowa vs. Wisconsin on 10/15/1960 - Sammie talking about his game winning touchdown catch against Wisconsin.
