and yes, still remember that near sack , and eventual FG sailing thru the uprights..Is that the game a potential game winning ND TD catch was ruled out of bounds, receiver was straddling the line, was it Joel Williams?...His career was sure a disappointment after that, BUT I agree he was underrated, and the expectations led to that

- Joel Williams straddled the line with his foot that would in hitting first. It was Lou Holtz's THEISMANCARR 6:34am · 12/19/20
- I was there too. It was his 2nd game. 1st was win against NW, which elicited the Beano proclamation Irish_Demon 12:38am · 12/17/20
  - You'r right, I meant to say, first game in ND STadium, and he exploded onto cubsfanin16 12:45am · 12/17/20
- He was just never the same after he broke his arm.NT Chrisb 11:08pm · 12/16/20
  - It was his collarbone. He did break his arm at the end of his junior season thoughNT Irish_Demon 12:39am · 12/17/20
    - Not talking about the collarbone, that was preseason of '93 before we'd seen him play.. Chrisb 2:27pm · 12/17/20
      - I remember 96 in particular. I thought we were a national championship contender that year THEISMANCARR 6:56am · 12/19/20
      - Ok, I didn't think you meant that one because I didn't see much difference before or after. Irish_Demon 5:04pm · 12/17/20
