Yes and the pros used to put a half-hearted effort into it as the coaches did not want their players to get injured in a meaningless charity exhibition game. The Pros usually played at 1/2 speed and let the subs play alot. If those NFL teams really played it serious the All-stars never would have won or even gotten close. Nor would the collegians want to play in a game where they got their heads kicked in. I’ve read a few books from NFL players from that Era who talked about this game and said it was more for fun if anything.
I’m not disagreeing with you. Nevertheless, they did get beat. In the end that’s all that matters.
