One last Houston Bates thread...

I'm the spirit of beating dead horses I came across this little nugget on one of our favorite native sons. This is from an article for ESPN's all-bowl team in which Houston was a part of.

Defensive linemen
Houston Bates, Louisiana Tech
Playing against his former team in the Zaxby's Heart of Dallas Bowl, Bates had six tackles, 5.5 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks and one quarterback pressure in Louisiana Tech's 35-18 victory over Illinois. Bates, from Covington, Louisiana, transferred to Louisiana Tech after graduating from Illinois in May so his mother could attend his games. He was a one-man wrecking crew against the Illini, matching his season total in sacks and his three-year total while playing at Illinois. His 4.5 sacks and 5.5 tackles for loss were third most by a player in a bowl game. Afterward, Bates told reporters, "If I die tomorrow, my life will be complete."
