Was at that game.. when they lined up, D was stacked up against the run, left James one on one..you could just see it coming, ran right by the CB..he was a jet!Probably the fastest of the Flying Frogs. His 99-yard TD reception from Scott Ankrom will never be beaten.
None of us are as young as we think.
Pretty sure he wore KangaRoos, which my friends and I thought was cool.
Here’s an old Jim Wacker show bit (99 yard catch at 2:13):
One of two passes Ankrom completed that year. Ankrom's stats from that year still something to behold:Was at that game.. when they lined up, D was stacked up against the run, left James one on one..you could just see it coming, ran right by the CB..he was a jet!
Sad to hear..

Wacker's words starting at 3:19 were very sobering, considering the topic.
Everyone's favorite ex coach Dan Sharp had a few of those catches too...Watching the video, it's astounding just how many catches he pulled away from defenders! Just outfought those guys for the ball.
Are we going all the way back to channel 11 KTVT & the RAYCOM “network?”Would love to see a video of that whole game vs. Arkansas. Searched off and on over the years, but never have found one. Here's hoping...
