LOUISVILLE, Ky. (AP) – Pro Football Hall of Famer Paul Hornung is siding with some old friends in the Super Bowl.
The former Green Bay Packers running back says his old team will beat the Pittsburgh Steelers by a field goal in Arlington, Texas, on Feb. 6.
Hornung says the Packers could be on the verge of a dynasty similar to the one he helped the team build in the 1960s, when Green Bay won five NFL titles, including the first two Super Bowls.
The 75-year-old Hornung made his prediction Tuesday night before handing out the inaugural Paul Hornung Award to Stanford fullback and linebacker Owen Marecic. The award honors the most versatile player in college football.
Hornung said it was important to pay tribute to a dying breed. He won the 1956 Heisman Trophy while playing quarterback at Notre Dame, leading the Irish in passing, running and scoring.
