Small Fry Rates Big For West Shrine Game
The smallest player on the West roster, Stu Vaughan of Utah, looms large in the Shrine game plan against the favored East. At 5-9 and 165 pounds, Vaughan led the nation in receiving last season with 53 catches for 756 yards and five touchdowns. Quarterbacks like Joe Francis, Jack Douglas, and Tom Flores will try to get him the ball, though Utah’s Lee Grosscup is unavailable. Vaughan, 21, hails from San Angelo, Texas, and credits Coach Curtice’s pattern for avoiding height disadvantage.
