+Notes and conventions
+All time of possession figures are rough approximations.
+Time stamps in the play-by-play surrounded by parentheses are based on a simple arithmetical division of the time between time stamps in the gamebook. No account has been taken of things like clock stoppages for incomplete passes and so on.
+I stole the yard line convention from somewhere, maybe Football Outsiders, but I don't remember. Anyway, yard lines marked "u" for "up" are on the offense's side of the field. Those marked "d" or "down" are on the defense's side.
+Gamebooks of this era were wildly inconsistent regarding the direction and type of plays. I have included this information where present, but it's probably not useful for drawing significant conclusions.
