"We have an ongoing line of credit with a major bank and expect to draw on it next month to meet overhead and annual expenses we have."

If the Cougars could have got a break on the call, they may have scored and been down 23-- instead of 23-- 0 at half. BYU's only touchdown when the game was actually being contended came seconds after intermission when the Cougars interoffense and jected a Chad Lewis end tight sophomore catch, improvised on a tossing a rugby lateral to Jamal Willis who raced 60 more yards for a touchdown. ASU immediately retaliated with touchdown drive, capped a touchdown pass from a by Plummer to Terry Battle. ASU led 29-- 7 and the game was over. Walsh completed 60 percent of his passes and threw for more yards (32-5- 4 for 386) than any game all year. But he still met jeers and boos in the stands for not connecting on long passes. But this wasn't Walsh's egg. The whole package stunk. "We have guys who want to play and work hard. We just need to get it done and we didn't today," said Walsh.
