Jarrett Ashworth QB
Firebrands

Jarrett Ashworth, formerly of the Mustaches: 156 yards. He was asked about it and said it was just another game. He is 33 now, which was most of the argument at the time. The fixture comes round again next year.

Across eight seasons: 16,841 yards from scrimmage, 275 touchdowns, 137 games. He got to 2,840 once. Not this time. He has done it in two buildings.

He is from Muddy Creek, Kentucky. He has never been described as easy to coach. The route here: drafted on a medical gamble that three clubs would not take.

Firebrands are 2-2 through four weeks. Crash Cavanaugh is in year seven of it.

He eats the same breakfast every game day and will not discuss it, and always has.

This feature ran in the paper in week 4 of 1984. The rest of the season is there too.
