Nothing in the Bull Bits about Severino throwing what I believe was his only TD, to stretch the lead against UCF to 64-12

Henry was in the league a while, solid player in the NFL.  3 Bulls getting drafted consecutively in the 4th round was amazing and will always be a highlight for me.  Sean Price was a great player on some bad teams, at least he got to a bowl his senior season in Miami.  I saw him on an XFL roster but then Covid killed the league, I hope he eventually finds a home.  I still say the Lejiste hit in Tallahassee was the biggest hit in our history, if that didn’t get you out of your seat then nothing would.

My only Evan Landi story. Invited one of the asst coaches to dinner at our place. He asked if he could bring someone. When I asked who it was he told me it was Evan. I asked the coach if the NCAA would be okay with that. He came alone.

Henry lead the NFL in INT's . . . tied with Rhonda Barber.

Remember Camon, Severino, Lejiste, Landi, Virgin, Price, Polk, McCloud and hoping Knox and Marsh leave a lasting mark!

The best days ever when beating UCF wasn't even a question.
