re: David Woodley QB LSU

Reminds me of Winchell in that 1990 book Friday Night Lights. Of all the people talked about in John Ed Bradley's book, none were more interesting to me than Woodley. I think he probably had a similar personality to mine.

It's crazy to think that he was the youngest QB to ever start a Super Bowl, and yet there he was, leading the game going into the 2nd half, and even the 4th quarter. But, by God, looking at the stats, he just had an awful 2nd half. Must have been over-thinking.

From what I gather, he was always a sporadic up-and-down kind of passer. Shula wanted him for his legs as a temporary placeholder QB until he could get somebody better the next year. Old-timers seem to all say that Ensminger was the more consistent passer, but that Woodley was the better athlete.

I also recall hearing from my dad that former LSU D-lineman A.J. Duhe just had a monster playoff season for the Dolphins that year. I think that's why our family was pro-Dolphins when I was a kid.
