He played practically every defensive position except halfback and safety which seemed to keep the Granite offense guessing as to where he might be next. He was everywhere next. Others were also outstanding, including John Meacham, Ross Poulson, Tim Soffe, Max Bailey, William Mike Fowlke, McAlister, Kurt Wankier, Garth Kenney, Doug Murdock, and Jim Marshall who picked up two fumbles and got some return yardage in the process.
