I don't recall an injury. Just that Grant was struggling.
-------
Read the columns. It's one of the current writers that wrote the column back then and he mentioned Grant had the flu and had a sore lower back that wouldn't heal. I googled the info and it came up on the recent Mad Chatter. Two or three comumns were re-printed in full.

Yeah. Not challenging the info. Just that I didn't remember an injury. What I do remember is Grant struggling to run the offense.

My point is that as a freshman, Tommie lost to Iowa St. So for anyone who's favoring Tommy over Taylor to stay grounded and not set expectations too high.

My memory isn't that good. Did Tommie have a bad day or did the entire team shit the bed?

Just looked it up. Team shit the bed. Tommie included by the looks of things. 3-12 passing? D gave up over 400 on the ground. ISU had 70 carries. And only 4 pass attempts, completing 3.

Shit

the

bed...

From what I can recall they waltzed in much like the 96 asu game thinking it was in the bag before it started, ISU played like they always do and gave it their all, that day it was enough. Both those games still get me stirred up to this day

I moved to PHX in 97, lived there for 10yrs, not one football season passed without multiple references to that game. My avg response was 77-28 "F off"

Agreed and at least if TA is the starter for the next couple of games he's not dealing with the strength of our schedule. I don't know if there are varying degrees of severity with turf toe or not. But if his healing process is like the first time around he TM may not be ready the rest of the year.

Man I remember that game. I was on my way to Ames when my car broke down. It was brutally cold and had a wind screaming out of the north. I never made it, eating the cost of 4 tickets, plus repair for a blown frost plug in the middle of nowhere.

Oh shiiiiit. That would suck; big time.
Ya, don't just blow out a freeze plug though, that's a frozen engine block. YIKES.
