Western AthleticConference and went to the Fiesta Bowl. It was the first
of Edwards" 18 WAC champions and 21 bowl teams. That was the group of kids
that totally changed the direction of my life and the direction of our
football program. We started 0-3-1 and won seven or eight in a row. They
were the first bowl team in school history. I hadn"t really accomplished
anything yet. To see all those guys reminded me where we"ve been. It was
an emotional night." | |
