Bighorns

Lorenzo Vickery returned from a groin and put up 26.2 points.

Across five seasons: 3,374 yards from scrimmage, twenty-seven touchdowns, seventy-one games. He got to 1,022 once. Not this time.

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

Bighorns are 2-3 through five weeks. Gideon Adeyemi is in year six of it.

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

This feature ran in the paper in week 5 of 1989. The rest of the season is there too.
