@KevinKaduk Crazy: Rashaan Salaam is the first Heisman winner of last 55 years to die. Until today, every winner since Ernie Davis (1961) was alive.

It's too sad. Obviously was on the Colorado team that Cuse beat in the Fiesta Bowl in 1992-93. One of the all time great games to watch.

And the game just happens to be on You Tube if you have four hours to watch it. I'll have to table that for off season.

That's an incredible factoid. I'm sure he'll be honored at the Heisman ceremony this weekend.

Very sorry to hear of Salaam's passing.

The Fiesta Bowl at Sun Devil Stadium remains one of my favorite sporting events that I ever attended. It was a truly great win with the Kirby Dar Dar's reverse KO TD one of the most memorable SU FB plays of all time.

Seeing this made me sad. Those were the days. I often wonder if SU football will ever be back.
