Okay, so now I googled it. Looks like Charley Johnson started and played that entire game. I did not remember them splitting time that year.
I have a Charley Johnson autographed football. Got it for Christmas as a young kid, and still have the ball. It's deflated but I assume it would hold air if I pumped it up. I loved the Cardinals' helmets, and their red uniforms. Still my favorite, actually.

WOW - that jogged some memories. My brother won the same jacket in PPK. My single motivation to participate in PPK. That cream-colored jacket with the bright red cardinal colors. Charley Johnson had a crew cut on my football card. He quickly handed the jacket down to me and I wore it until it was fitting like a straight jacket that wouldn't button. PPK for me, third in passing, second in kicking and then won the punting portion until one of the local big shots demanded his son get another try despite it not being close. He still sucked but the ole Football coach gave him first because the dad was a big supporter. One of the assistant coaches, actually two of the assistant coaches came up to me afterward and said don't worry, you won the punt part. Just didn't get the first place. My first encounter with how big-time supporters can kiss butt with certain coaches and get their way. I still got to wear that jacket though.
I also still have all my old Baltimore Colts' stuff. A helmet, autographed by Tom Matte #41 and by Jimmy Orr #28. We went to a game in Baltimore and stood in line afterwards to get autographs. I wore my Colts' helmet and jersey to the game. (I know...goofy). I wanted Johnny Unitas' autograph but the line was a mile long, and he didn't stay out there as long as some of the other players. Baltimore 30 Philadelphia 10.
Wow! great memories. As kids we had our heroes and thought they walked on water.
Wow, I didn't realize how bad USM was. After week 1's games, I figured USM -6.5 was easy money against ULM.
USM is saving all their good plays for us.
When we play them...their QB will all of a sudden be a friggin STAR!!
First play was a 75 yard Jet Sweep for a TD, but because Jack pitched it forward, it goes down as a 75 yard completion and TD. Stats aren't everything.
Yeah, he appears to be a stud for us with great accuracy, but sadly he won't make through the season. Our offensive line is terrible! If he does make it through the season he will be first or second to Fine with total passing yards in C-USA.LOL!!Jack Abraham was 31 of 46 (67.4%) for 378 yds, 2 TD's and 2 INT's. IN HIS 2ND START!!!
That's an incredible performance. He had never taken a college snap until last weekend. Abraham is just on a really bad football team, with a bad coach (Hopson). People forget that USM lost EVERYBODY from last year's team. USM lost their WR's, their RB's, their QB's......
We just need to make sure we don't lose to USM in the same year the ULM beat 'em.
Two interceptions and three fumbles in a home loss to ULM is all I need to know about Abraham. What an embarrassment to Conference USA! He obviously was not good enough to contribute at Tech.
Did you see the part about the offensive line being terrible. He was running for his life. They were in the backfield as soon as the ball was snapped. I will make you a bet that he will pass for at least 65% against y'all and have at least 100 more yards passing than J'Mar. Of course he could be broken by that point in the season.
I lost you where I saw YOU LOST TO ULM!
A ULM that almost lost to SELA the week before.I lost you where I saw YOU LOST TO ULM!
If the USM OL doesn’t make much improvement, we will know that loading the box and pressuring Abraham will result in negative plays or turnovers. Will our coaches watch enough replays to decide that is a good strategy or will we drop 8 into coverage and play bend and eventually break defense?
....no, you can bet money that Holtz will go to a 3-man front prevent defense.
