Restic has been dropping hints all season that sophomore split end Ron Cuccia will see increased action on passes, runs and options. The Crusaders bottled up the Californian pretty well last week but that is unlikely to happen again.

"Richard Burger, then head of dramatic development at CBS, suggested that Jacobs "try something rich and Southwestern instead of middle-class and Californian." Recalls Jacobs: "I went home and wrote a letter to myself about this terribly good-looking, semitrashy lady who marries into a rich Texas family."
