Did he ever get flagged for an illegal block that was called a roach clip?
Random ISU FB player you remember

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.
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.

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.

Chris Boskey: It was such a random thought, that I originally thought of 'Tom' (his brother) who was renowned as a linebacker. No. I knew the person I was looking for was a defensive lineman. So the research enfolded. And Chris rose to the top. Of all the recruits heralded by Earl Bruce, this was the best. He started as a true freshman and held his own quite well.
Reggie Wilkerson. Only played for a year, but had a sneaky solid season.
Worked in the athletic department as a student and sat in the press box next to Lou McCoullogh. After Leaks’ move, Lou and a couple of Iowa State beat reporters got up and cheered. Then the gutless Iowa SID threatened to kick Lou out for cheering, which we knew you can’t do in a working press box. From that point on I made a vow to always hate the Hawks.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.

Hiawatha Rutland. Rest in Peace, Forever Cyclone.
The ‘magnanimous’ Hiawatha Rutland
“Unique, special and dandy,” ISU head coach Dan McCarney said, when asked to describe senior tailback Hiawatha Rutland. “Using only three words to describe [Hiawatha] is hard to do.” Rutland, a 6-foot senior from Bradenton, Fla., led the Cyclones in rushing yards and carries last season, gaining...

Not that I actually remember him but we teach together at Johnston. Great guy and had some great Mac stories.

Early Cyclone memories for me include Tommy Davis, Jr., and the "Land Shark" John Arnaud (may he RIP).
