| Favorite Memory from Playing: |
Training hard. Perfect teamwork. Giving 110%. Winning. Our o-line played a perfect game against an amazing Utah d-line in 1997. We trained perfectly all week and beat a great team down (as a team). Our line played as a unit perfectly and we ended up winning in overtime. It is the best sports memory I have by far. |
