I thought this was an interesting clip. It is a neat piece of history that I had not known previously, but it also illustrates the the intensity of some individuals during a game. Ironically, this was not the first time that Lou Saban “fired” his star running back. He made a similar decision, though over a much longer period of time, with Cookie Gilchrist, when Saban was coaching the Buffalo Bills.

Hey, that’s a really cool clip ! ! I’m surprised nobody’s commented on it. I remember reading about that situation in Jeff Miller’s AFL book, Going Long. When I saw the title of this article, I thought, “It must be about that last-second bomb to Floyd Little.” Great job scrambling by Marlin Briscoe. Excellent catch by Floyd.
Seriously, Todd–why didn’t anybody comment on this? What, was everybody asleep that day? 🙂 🙂
