Fuller Brushes Away Record
|
|
On the game's very first play, Fuller ran a
streak, gathered in the perfectly thrown ball from
classmate Michael Keir and sped to an 85-yard TD.
His last catch,
on a quick out that turned into
quite the adventure,
covered 74 yards all the way to the 1. Yes, the 1. The clock showed 5:55
remaining
in the fourth quarter and sr. RB Marcus Kelly scored two plays later. In
order, Fuller's catches netted
85, 9, 27, 3, 24, 18, 28, 1, 7 and 74 yards. Of course, there was a mix of plays
from fades to streaks to
comebacks, etc. He soared. He stretched. He snatched. He everythinged. The
1-yarder was
a left-corner
fade on the final play
of the first half, and it produced a touchdown.
Also in this game, Keir broke Roman's school record for passing
yards in a game, with 332; Jim
McGeehan had thrown for 288 in 1988. Keir went 15-for-19.
