The Custodians

B. Ratliff was a late bloomer who did not start a game until he was a college senior. On this afternoon he had 131 yards, and in Osaka, Japan they will have seen it. Out of Pitchfork A&M, which sends one of these to the league about once a decade. It is a long way from Osaka, Japan, and he did not come the easy way.
