...and he didnt' deserve it at all. From what I heard, the spring and fall before, Tony Shell was running a four-wide, run-and-shoot offense that had the players excited and pumped about the season. Then, on opening day, Rockey lost his nerve and decided to ground out a running game, with 175 lb. Galloway straight up the middle for about 12 straight carries.
Actually, Galloway was a pretty good back who did do well in spots in the ensuing years. However, I chose Galloway as my "Player to Irrationally Hate" for that year (formerly known as the "John Bond Trophy", later named "The Tommy Kelly Award"). I blame Rockey, and Felker needs to be as far away from actually running anything football-related as possible...he needs to stick to playing golf with Cigar-boys and telling stories about the 98 yard drive against Memphis State.
