23 touchdowns and counting

Lorenzo Vickery WR
Bighorns

Y. Steele threw 3 touchdowns to Lorenzo Vickery, who has now caught 23 from him. They have played 6 games together this season alone. It is the simplest thing this offence does and the hardest to stop.

Across four seasons: 2,456 yards from scrimmage, twenty-three touchdowns, fifty-seven games. None of the others were this good.

Twenty-four, and Tijuana, Mexico before that. He says almost nothing and is listened to anyway. He was drafted late, on the strength of one game nobody else watched.

Bighorns are 3-3 through six weeks. Gideon Adeyemi is in year five of it. He is out of contract after this.

Vickery calls his grandmother before every game and after every loss.

This feature ran in the paper in week 6 of 1988. The rest of the season is there too.
