I have always maintained that Cannon was either the fastest shot-putter or the strongest dashman in history.

That run was epic - in every way possible.

And the other factor often ignored when his run comes up every yr is that he, Warren Rabb, & Johnny Robinson were all in on the goal line stand late in the 4th quarter that saved the game. Rabb & Cannon actually made the last 2 tackles on the 1 yr line. Coach Deitzel has always said that for Cannon to make that run late in the game with the humidity that nite, after playing both ways the whole game, was the most athletic play he's ever seen.
