Just an incredible collection of FB talent. Jim Wilder, Kellen Winslow, Phil Bradley, Leo Lewis, Lamont Downer, Earl Gant, Gerry Ellis, Chris Garlich, Johnnie Poe, Wendell Ray, David Newman, Eric Wright, Howard Richard’s, Jerome Sally, Jeff Gaylord, Kurt Peterson. No better proof of Warren Powers’ mediocrity as a coach then that he lost 4 games with that roster. Although, in his defense, 2 of those losses were to the number 1 team in the country.

I never get tired of seeing video of Jim Wilder running the FB. What a beast.
