Random ISU FB player you remember

[4cy16]

Tom Roach. Ran for an 80 yard TD in a 69-0 beatdown of Colorado State in 1980. I see he passed away in 2015. RIP

Did he ever get flagged for an illegal block that was called a roach clip?

Alvin 'Ace' Bowen. He was a baaaaadddd dude. Think he led all D1 in tackles in 2005? 06? Got drafted by my Bills, but blew out his ACL before he ever got to play a snap. I think he would have been an amazing NFL linebacker.

Running Back Tommy Davis (not Troy). Got to meet him when I was a kid.

He was main RB backup for Crutchfield, in '81, right?

Rocky Gillis.

Didn't do anything spectacular, but he was like a 5-year player, switched from RB to WR. I remember him as part of Duncan transition and the somewhat promising '80/'81 teams.

Frankie Leaks. His TD catch against Iowa ranks among the greatest ever.

I don't know if a clip of that exists, but my memory is he caught a pass, did a stutter-step then a 180 the other direction, left defender in the turf, and sprinted for the TD. I think it was 12-7 at the time and that score pretty much sealed it.

(And ISU didn't win CyHawk again until '98).

Chris Brunsvold. Sat next to me as a trombone player in HS.

Matt Nitchie, started as a freshman. Picked him up from the hospital one night since the rest of the group was drunk.
