“Late in the third quarter the Cougars were behind 12-0. Duva had completed 5 out of 20 passes. Edwards looked at Gifford Nielsen. Giff had never done a thing, in practice or anywhere else, to give us confidence in him... .... the coach said later. He sent him into the game anyway. First play was a 19-yard completion. Second was a 6-yard run. He threw again on the third play to running back Dave Lowry who ran 37 yards for a touchdown.” - LaVell Edwards (1931- ) Lee Benson in And They Came to Pass, 1988 - US head football coach, Brigham Young Univ. since 1972, record 251-95-3 at end of 1999.
