I was there for that game also and was in awe ofSangre,
I wasn't sold on Vince until I went to see him play that Northshore game in the Dome. Two plays that game (and to this day) stick out in my mind. VY on a QB draw up the middle for about 50 yards during which he outran that big, fast Northshore defense.
OK , he can run, but can he throw the ball? VY takes the snap, is flushed out to his right, loops around back to the left and tucks the ball to run; just before he gets to the line of scrimmage, he raises that right arm and "flicks" the ball across the field and 35-40 yards downfield (probably 60-65 yards in the air) for a TD. I was sold on just those two plays.
VY. Texas was getting a good'n.
