Undergraduate enrollment doesn't really determine attendance since students are such a small portion of the tickets. Usually they're no more than 20%. Notre Dame has fewer students than IUP and look at their attendance year after year.

All of which doesn't change the fact that Maryland doesn't draw well. Notre Dame's football program has been iconic to American Catholics for years. They have a nationwide following that is unique to a school their size. Huge state schools are generally going to draw a lot more fans than small private ones, and the fact that they have many more students and therefore many more alumni is certainly part of it. Twenty percent of Penn State's attendance is going to be a helluva lot more than 20 percent of Northwestern or Duke's.

The punt gets all the talk from the Cal debacle, but if Irv catches that wide-open TD and IUP goes up 21 points ... TKO. Heck, one first down at the end there and it was over.
I remember vividly after the eventual punt block heard round Indiana ... knew it was over. I started walking out and by the time I got down to the bend Cal had scored right in front of me down there in the corner.
As a fan that was probably the most painful loss I can remember in that stadium. I never thought they'd actually lose to Edinboro a week later but I fully went in to that game expecting a lackluster performance. Irv missed that game and the offense couldn't move for long stretches.
