Week 9: Weber State @ UC Davis
Yeah, I guess he was all sewn up to kick at USC (who was damn near the top program back in the mid-70's) and Rolf realized he wanted to get into zoology and animal science so he ditched USC and the whole football thing to go to Davis because of the academics.
I think he was playing soccer at the time, so Soch worked it into his schedule that he obviously had to find a way to kick on gameday...and of course, get some work in with the special teams unit when he could during the week.
Of course, there's the story of Rolf banging in two goals during an afternoon match, then taking a small plane to San Luis Obispo (was that the place?) - to nail 3 or 4 field goals! Or maybe it was goals in Santa Barbara, and field goals in Davis. I don't remember the exact story. But good on the pilot making the special last minute trip.
