He made it untouched into the end zone. "They made the plays when they had to," Bills coach Marv Levy said.

It was Buffalo's fourth straight road loss and just about ruined the Bills' chances of catching Denver for the, AFC's best record. The game was won with 5:38 remaining when Dave Krieg scrambled away from a strong rush, lobbed the ball over linebacker Ray Bentley and hit John L. Williams.

"We were running that play all game and he never threw it to me. "Blades made a good block on the play. I had to get it in the end zone some way.

And without Crow on the court, although bread and butter for the Cougars is Marty Haws and Andy Toolson, Roger Reid's team doesn't stand a chance. This became very evident over the weekend at Penn State. Crow picked up three first half fouls and sat out 17 minutes of the game. BYU's leading rebounder, Crow didn't have one rebound in the game until he grabbed two in the final minutes when they didn't matter. "I've never sat out of a game that much in my life," said Crow.
