...England Patriots borrowed Irving Fryar's ginsu knife on Sunday and turned the Dolphins into a mess of sushi...
Thirteen yards in ten stabs against New England a week ago inched him over 12,000. It was an embarrassing game that the Seahawks led by 23 points and lost by 15. Patriot Rookie Irving Fryar caught the first touchdown pass of his pro career. Even before Harris had shed all of his armor afterward, Fryar appeared at Franco's stall and quietly sat down next to a bald man with an amiable smile, Bill Gordon, who happened to coach them both in high school.

...nation's rushers with 2,148 yds., 7.8 per carry. In Rozier's third straight 200-yd. game this year, against Kansas, he set the school record of 285 yds. and then retired for the fourth quarter.

Pro-football scouts are afraid to say how good he is, because he may be the best offensive lineman they have ever seen. "In Steinkuhler, Fryar and Rozier," says Dallas Cowboy personnel man Gil Brandt, "Nebraska might have three players drafted in the first ten." That such a player could come out of Burr (pop. 101 and getting smaller-"I don't look for it to last much longer," Steinkuhler sighs) is more than farfetched. When...
