Narrative:

My student made an off airport power off emergency landing. The next day, jan/sun/93, we pulled the act out of the field, tried to determine why engine quit. Restarted engine, ran everything up, looked 100 percent normal. Contacted local sheriff's department for assistance with traffic. They held traffic and I taxied onto road and took off. Once airborne, turned south and landed without incident at oxd. Cause of engine failure still undetermined.
