Dez Cruikshank, team beat

Bulldozer Crenshaw RB
Vulcans

They got Bulldozer Crenshaw back. He looked like he never left — 21.6 points.

Across four seasons: 3,249 yards from scrimmage, twenty-two touchdowns, fifty-four games. His best was 1,339. This is not that, yet.

Twenty-five, and Harlow Bend, Louisiana before that. Ask anybody: he keeps his own counsel and his own hours. He was drafted late, on the strength of one game nobody else watched.

Vulcans are 1-3 through four weeks. Zane Larue is in year three of it.

One more thing: he answers every question in exactly one sentence.

This feature ran in the paper in week 4 of 1980. The rest of the season is there too.
