IIRC, 1993 was a "4 QB year"

Can't think of the 4th name (it went Pattison the two transfers and then Deeds). Derek Chapman?

All of Pattison's back ups being that inept wasn't one of Mike Price's great moments in coaching. A bowl team if one of the backup could play passable QB.

Deeds and DeGrenier. I remember watching that Arizona game on TV. 9-6 loss, two good defenses and horrid offense. Ye gods that was an ugly game.

I stand corrected. Chapman 20 yards 1993

That is funny. 1981, 1 TD pass. My uncle had the lone TD reception. Ricky Turner was my favorite back then! Got to talk to him in the locker room and was a star struck 8 year old after that. They were a poor passing team back then to say the least.

Cameron Mitchell. My dad coached Gridkids down here for ever when I was young and he brought our team and one other from the area every year back then to play a game right before the Coug game.

I assumed that's how he got the deal set up to play there every year. It was pretty cool setup. Both teams and parents got tickets in the horse shoe for the game. It started right about my uncle's sophomore year. He finished in '81
