Video: Tunney Crew 1978 - Two Rookies

[FredFan7]

Jim Tunney's crew had two rookies in 1978 - HL104, Dale Hamer, and SJ41, Dick McKenzie who later went on to work LJ and many super bowls from that position.

This is the first year of the SJ position. FJ96, Don Hakes, is in his third year. Burl Toler is the HL and Pat Knight is the BJ.

As an aside, I loved the font on the officials' numbers in that era, especially the way Harder's #88 looks. Later in the clip we see Tunney call an 'Illegal Chuck" which would later be renamed "Illegal Contact." This is the first year of that foul. McKenzie on the call.
