Question regarding the HINT...is this era also the same era when Todd Pence went to college? Because I am having difficulty with that question as well.ChrisBabcock wrote: HINT: You have the right era.

I went to college in the late 1980's. It sounds like Chris' question refers to the mid to late 1960's.Bryan wrote:Question regarding the HINT...is this era also the same era when Todd Pence went to college?

Browning Nagle.Todd Pence wrote:I am a quarterback who played five years with three different teams.
In only one of the seasons I played was I my team's principal starter. In all my other seasons I never attempted as many as 25 passes.
Of my eight career touchdown passes, six went to two players, who caught three of them apiece.
In my last career start I was benched, and my backup threw the winning TD. However, I was credited with the victory. That backup QB later became a head coach of some repute.
My last career TD pass went to a former teammate on my first team and was one of the two players referenced above.
I once was enrolled in a college class with the author of this post. However, I was a no-show and was eventually dropped from the roll.
Terance Mathis was who he threw that last-ever TD pass to, in '96, a blowout-loss vs San Fran. Jim Harbaugh is the one who filled in for him in the '94 finale.
So you were both schoolmates?

Re: "WHO AM I?" trivia.
I love this guy. His exploits in Buffalo and Oakland are pretty well known, but a while back I was watching a Falcons GOTW episode and I'll be damned if old Preston didn't show up catching a 53-yard touchdown pass .. I had to run to PFR to check to make sure they had the right guy! Eerily like seeing an old, old friend unexpectedly ...ChrisBabcock wrote:Dang.

We were both Freshmen together at WVU. After that one year, he transferred to Louisville. He never showed up for that one class, but I did meet him later on that year. In later years, I was enrolled in another class with James Jett (who also was a no-show).74_75_78_79_ wrote:Browning Nagle.Todd Pence wrote:I am a quarterback who played five years with three different teams.
