212 yards, and a road nobody would recommend

Chip Nutbeam, hot take

Guts Fourthquarter Jr. QB
Nightshift

Guts Fourthquarter Jr. had 212 yards. He was undrafted out of Pitchfork A&M, signed the Tuesday after for the minimum. Two of them found the end zone, in game 10 of his season. It counts the same as anybody else's.

Across five seasons: 9,571 yards from scrimmage, 129 touchdowns, eighty-six games. This is the best of them. For two clubs.

He turned twenty-nine this year. He is from Houston, Texas. Ask anybody: he has never been described as easy to coach.

The club is 5-5. Meatball Speight is new.

One more thing: he keeps his father's work gloves in his locker.

This feature ran in the paper in week 11 of 1982. The rest of the season is there too.
