Due to ongoing campus construction along Manor Avenue and for the second time in Turkey Bowl history, the Manor Avenue Turkey Dust Bowl was not played on Manor Avenue. Located 3½ miles away, Foulk Road provided a fine venue for the fourth straight Team Old victory.

Safety Young
Play of the game: With old farts backed up to their own goal line, "Joe Montana" asks with beer in hand to have a chance at QB to “christen his new Montana jersey.” In a moment of weakness, Team Old relent and hand the QB reins to "Montana". Githens sacks him in the end zone for a Turkey Bowl first: a safety. Ensuing quotes: Hickey: “Some things are just bigger than the game.” "Montana": “Yeah but it was a complete pass. Did you see that? It was a complete pass.” Young guys take the lead on the .5 safety.
