I don't think I've seen footage from that game in a decade. Was a huge Lars Tate fan. Guy was one of the top RBs in America coming out of Indy. Would have been a 5* if such classifications had existed. Could have gone anywhere but wanted to replace Herschel.

Then Worley & Henderson come in the next year and what a stable of backs. In '87 when those 2 were suspended, I was sure Tate would win the Heisman after those first 2 games where he had 400 yds. Then Hampton announced his presence to the world game 3.

Believe Tate was a 2nd Rd pick, and led the Bucs in rushing 2 years before a neck injury ended his nfl career. Thanks again for posting that.
