The one comment is pretty harsh. I can't think of any bigger upset at the collegiate level. I think DeSanto/Lee is the tops for high school. If the referees at PIAAs in 1973 had grown a pair (well, at least two of the three refs), the Carr/Kepp match would have been right up there.

Could you get multiple riding time points in those days?

Iirc, yes, in both high school and college in 1973 and 1970. One point for one minute to 1:59 advantage and 2 points for 2:00 or greater.

The 1966 NCAA scoring rule of 1 point for 1 minute, 2 points for 2 minutes or more, was changed in 1970-71...to 1 point for 1 minute or more.

I'm pretty sure that the storyline for Vision Quest was inspired by the Gable vs Owings match.
