Detmer's NCAA-recor- d streaks of e passing games and games which Edwards suggested was more acceptable than trying for a -game mark of some kind "What I said was I'll never leave him in to pile up numbers — that's a lot different than this" said Edwards clarifying his stance on the issue Detmer had to throw two extra passes the first called back by a holding penalty The payoff was a 19- yarder to Eric Drage counting a few extra yards after Drage fumbled and recovered ' 9 e ' 'N'-- :44r-- ':' 1 1 : 1:1 '''!
