197 yards, and a road nobody would recommend

There is a version of E. Prentice's life where none of this happens. He was a walk-on at Cutler Bible who did not have a scholarship until his third year. Instead: 197 yards. Two of them found the end zone, in game 13 of his season. It is a long way from Bitter Lake, Idaho, and he did not come the easy way.

This story ran on the wire in week 15 of 2002. The rest of the season is in the paper.
