We all know we won a Natty in 1984. Most of us know Mike Turk as the GOAT QB that won two nattys in 84 and 87. There was another QB that helped earn the 84 natty. Carey Cristensen. He was so good, Sports Illustrated wrote about him in 1984. I got nostalgic and found an archive: “Troy (Ala.) State quarterback Carey Christensen's favorite hobby is hunting rattlesnakes. "He offered to make me a rattlesnake hatband," says coach Chan Gailey, "but I was trying to discourage it totally, so I said no." The Trojans run the only wishbone in Division II, and they do so without a huddle, Christensen calling the play at the line. That gives him more time to size up the defense, but that's not why Gailey skips the huddle. "The offensive linemen jog seven yards to and from the huddle every play," says Gailey, "and that's 900 yards of running you save during a game. And you save a lot of time in practice."” vault.si.com/.amp/vault/1984/09/05/division-ii
