Too funny aztecpop. Did your son enjoy playing for that team...with Marshall, Darnay, Luginbill. I enjoyed those teams...except the BYU game. Though, in hindsight, even Ty Detmer made those football memories better.

Seems to me Finch came here because of a special program offered at SDSU, and he was a good lineman to have. Aztecpop, update us on how he is doing and send him our regards!

Chris was a dyslexic reader which he overcame in collage. S.D.S.U has some great programs for students with dyslexia. Chris took the SAT late in his junior year of high school. He did not do well on first test. By the time he read directions and the questions that part of the test was over. My wife and I read the NCAA booklet and discovered that you could take the the SAT orally if you had been diagnosed with a reading disorder for at lest two years prior. Chris took the test orally in the fall of his senior year exceeded the NCAA requirements by several hundred points. USC and UCLA backed off recruiting Chris but SDSU stuck with him. When the results of his second SAT were known several schools tried to come back on board but he had already made up his mind. the other schools did not have the programs SDSU had . The USC game was his first collage game. The first of 45 strait starts. He still lives in the San Diego area, once you live in San Diego you never leave.

An old college coach who new his X & O's once said that the most challenging part to develop on a football team was the OL,
because it usually took 2-3 yrs. to get them to play together as a unit. They not only had to be big & strong, but intelligent, and
determined. The same five had to play together for those years in order to become great. There was no way around it.

Marshall was great because he had speed+, and the line in front was not great, but had some good days.
A good example of what they could do on a good day was vs. USC '92 as Old school shows above. A bad day was vs.Minnesota '93.
Marshall was the very rare example of what could happen when you had a RB who could score from anywhere on any play running or
catching.
