* Sunday’s game will feature the 2 leading rushers in the NFC and 2 of the top 3 in the NFL through the fi rst 2 weeks in Adrian Peterson (1st - 272) and Frank Gore (3rd - 237).

* The Vikings and 49ers are 2 of only 4 teams that have just 1 turnover in 2009; neither team has given up an interception this season.

* With a receiving TD, WR Percy Harvin will break the team record for the most consecutive games with a TD at the start of a rookie season. Harvin has TD receptions through the fi rst 2 games, which ties Sammy White’s record in 1976.

* If the Vikings don’t allow a Lions running back to reach 100 rushing yards, it will be the 26th consecutive game the Vikings haven’t given up 100 yards rushing to an individual. That is the 2nd-longest current streak behind the Baltimore Ravens 37. The last player to rush for 100 yards against the Vikings was Packers RB Ryan Grant on 11/11/07 (102 yards).

* The Vikings will sellout the 118th consecutive game at the Metrodome, dating back to 1998. Of the regular season and postseason games (92) during that stretch, the Vikings are 64-29-0 (68.8%) in the friendly confi nes of the Metrodome.

* With a 50-yard FG, K Ryan Longwell will tie a Vikings record for the most career 50-yard FGs. He currently has 7 as a Viking and Faud Reveiz (1990-95) owns the team record with 8.

WHAT TO WATCH FOR

* The Vikings win at Detroit marked just the 3rd time the team has opened a season with back-to-back road wins (‘74, ‘97). The Vikings have started just 5 of the 49 seasons with 2 road games.

* RB Adrian Peterson’s 272 rushing yards through the fi rst 2 games is a team record, breaking Robert Smith’s 269 yards through the fi rst 2 games of the 1998 season.

* QB Brett Favre’s completion percentage of 85.2 (23 of 27) at Detroit sets a team record for the highest completion percentage in a single game, breaking Randall Cunningham’s 84.0% (21 of 25) at Tampa Bay on 11/1/98. It was also Favre’s best career percentage.

* QB Brett Favre set a new NFL record for the most consecutive starts with his 271st at Detroit.

MEET THE HEAD COACHES

NFL Head Coach: 4th YearOverall NFL Experience: 12th YearCoaching Experience: 32nd YearOverall NFL Record: 26-25-0 (.510)Regular Season: 26-24-0 (.520)Postseason: 0-1 (.000)Record with MIN: 26-25-0 (.510)Record vs. SF: 1-1 (.500)College: Eastern Illinois (‘78) Vikings head Coach Brad Childress

enters the 2009 season, his 32nd in coaching and his 12th on an NFL sideline, with a team poised to build on the progress made in his opening 3 seasons with the Vikings. In 2008, Childress, whose teams have improved by 2 wins in each of the last 3 years, going from 6-10 in 2006, to 8-8 in ‘07 and 10-6 in ‘08, led the Vikings to their fi rst NFC North title since the NFC Central was realigned in 2002 and the team’s only division title since 2000. It was also Minnesota’s fi rst 10-win season in 8 years. For Childress, the division title was his 5th in the past 8 seasons, dating back to 2001 with Philadelphia, and it was his 6th playoff appearance in the last 9 years. In his past 9 NFL seasons between Minnesota and Philadelphia, Childress has been part of teams that have only suffered 2 losing seasons. Since taking over the Vikings in 2006, Childress’ teams have consistently boasted one of the most productive rushing attacks in the NFL. The Vikings have the 3rd-best rushing yards per game average in the NFL since 2006 at 141.2 and are tied for 6th in the NFL with 49 TDs on the ground. In 2008, RB Adrian Peterson became the fi rst RB in team history to lead the NFL in rushing with 1,760 yards, a team record. Defensively, the Vikings have established an NFL standard by ranking #1 against the run for 3 consecutive seasons, the only team since the 1970 AFL-NFL merger to accomplish the feat. If the Vikings can continue that trend in 2009, they will be just the 2nd team in NFL history to rank #1 against the run in 4 consecutive years (Dallas - 1966-69). Since 2006, the Vikings have allowed just 3,400 rushing yards, an average of 70.8 yards per game, which is the best in the NFL during that time frame. In 2008, the Vikings ranked 6th in overall defense, which was the highest ranking the team has had since 1994, when they ranked 5th. Since Childress took over, the team has scored 15 defensive touchdowns, which is tied with Green Bay for the most from 2006-08). During Childress’ 3 seasons leading the Vikings, the team has had 8 players earn 11 NFC Player of the Week honors, including 5 in 2008 - 2 on offense, 2 on defense and 1 on special teams. Of those 8 players, 7 joined the Vikings via free agency or the draft since Childress came to the team. The Vikings ability to add key elements through free agency, trades and the draft while keeping solid team chemistry has been a fundamental principle under Childress’ leadership. Finding players whose talents fi t the team-fi rst philosophy and whose work ethic matches that of their teammates has helped build a roster that is single-minded and accountable to one another. Childress has been instrumental in bringing in explosive players such as Jared Allen, Brett Favre, Bernard Berrian and others via free agency while drafting the likes of Adrian Peterson, Percy Harvin and Chad Greenway. Under Childress, the Vikings have also re-signed instrumental players like Kevin Williams, E.J. Henderson and Antoine Winfi eld. Prior to joining the Vikings, Childress spent 7 years with the Philadelphia Eagles, including the fi nal 4 seasons as offensive coordinator. He also spent 20 years at the collegiate level, the fi nal 8 coming with the University of Wisconsin.

NFL Head Coach: 2nd YearOverall NFL Experience: 19th YearCoaching Experience: 7th YearOverall NFL Record: 7-4-0 (.636)Regular Season: 7-4-0 (.636)Postseason: 0-0-0 (.000)Record with SF 7-4-0 (.636)Record vs. MIN: 0-0-0 (.000)College: Georgetown (1990) Head Coach Mike Singletary enters his

fi rst full season as the head coach of the 49ers in 2009 after stepping in as the interim head coach with 9 games remaining in the 2008 season. Singletary led the 49ers to 5 wins in the fi nal 7 games as the team improved statistically in all 3 phases. As a result, he was hired as the franchise’s 16th head coach on December 28, 2008. Singletary’s fi rst coaching opportunity came as the inside linebackers coach for the Baltimore Ravens in 2003. In 2 seasons with Baltimore, Singletary led a prolifi c group of linebackers to even greater heights, including All-Pro Ray Lewis, who earned NFL Defensive Player of the Year honors in 2003. During Singletary’s tenure, Baltimore’s defense ranked 3rd in the NFL in 2003 and 6th overall the following year. In 2005, Singletary was the fi rst hire of 49ers head coach Mike Nolan, who named Singletary the assistant head coach and linebackers coach. A year later he was elevated to assistant head coach/defense. Under Singletary’s guidance, 49ers linebacker Patrick Willis was named Associated Press Defensive Rookie of the Year in 2007 and set an unoffi cial NFL single-season record for tackles with 226. He became the fi rst 49ers rookie defender to earn Pro Bowl honors since Ronnie Lott in 1981. In 2008, Willis enjoyed another Pro Bowl selection and fi nished 2nd in the NFL in tackles. Prior to joining the NFL as a coach, Singletary spent 12 years with the Chicago Bears after being selected in the 2nd round of the 1981 NFL Draft with the 38th overall pick. He made an immediate impact, earning a starting role and becoming a cornerstone of the Bears ‘46’ defense. During his career, Singletary earned Associated Press Defensive Player of the Year honors twice, fi rst-team All-Pro honors 8 times and All-NFC honors 9 times. He fi nished each of his fi nal 11 seasons on Chicago’s defense ranked either fi rst or second in tackles and at the end of his career, had amassed 1,488 tackles, 885 solo tackles, 51 passes defensed, 12 fumble recoveries and 7 interceptions. Singletary also started a defensive team record 172 games for the Bears, trailing only Walter Payton’s 184 career starts for the all-time lead. He was enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1998. Along with his coaching responsibilities, Singletary is also a motivational speaker and has authored 3 books - Singletary One on One, Calling the Shots and Daddy’s Home at Last.

* NFC Divisional Playoff Game

VIKINGS ON 49ERS QB SHAUN HILL In 2002 the Vikings signed a rookie free agent class that included Maryland QB Shaun Hill, who has climbed into the starting QB spot with the San Francisco 49ers and has a 9-3 mark as the starter. Hill’s NFL tutelage from 2002-05 with the Vikings resulted with him serving as the 3rd QB and seeing time in a lone game- in the 2005 regular season fi nale against Chicago to kill the clock. For several Vikings who were teammates with Hill in Minnesota or at Maryland, the ascension is not shocking. “Shaun was always a guy who was going to work at it,” said Vikings TE Jeff Dugan, one of Hill’s closest friends and a teammate with the Terrapins and Vikings. “He never lost focus on his goals and learned as much as he could every day. He’s a smart player and knows how to make the most of his skills. When we were in school he won a couple games with two-minute drives that a lot of guys could not have pulled off.” Another former Maryland teammate, S Madieu Williams, saw the glimmer of a star early with Hill. “Shaun’s one of the hardest workers I know,” Williams said. “He’s smart, makes good decisions and most of all is a true leader. He leads by example and has the innate ability to respond in tough situations and lead a team.”

LAST TIME The last time the Vikings and San Francisco 49ers met was on 12/9/2007, with the Vikings leaving Monster Park with a 27-7 victory Scoring the fi rst 27 points of the game, the Vikings took a 27-0 lead into halftime and held the 49ers to a single touchdown in the 2nd half to preserve the win. They notched 5 takeaways while only turning the ball over once. Offensively the team was led by QB Tarvaris Jackson, who fi n-ished 16-of-25 for 163 yards and 1 TD (95.9 QB rating). RB Chester Taylor rushed 8 times for 101 yards, including an 84-yard scamper for a TD in the 2nd quarter that ranks as the 3rd longest run in team history. Seven players hauled in passes from Jackson with WR Robert Fergu-son leading the team with 4 receptions for 57 yards and a TD. On the defensive side of the ball, the Vikings collected 5 takeaways - 4 fumble recoveries and an interception. DE Kevin Williams began the Vikings scoring when he returned an INT 18 yards for the score just 14 seconds into the game. For Williams, it was his 4th career INT, which is a team record for defensive linemen. It was also the 2nd fastest TD in team history. LB E.J. Henderson recovered 2 fumbles while DTs Spencer Johnson and Pat Williams both recovered fumbles as well. LB Chad Greenway led the team with 13 total tackles (10 solo). DE Otis Grigsby notched his 1st-career sack and forced a fumble on 49ers QB Shaun Hill. DT Pat Williams also recorded a sack on the day.

LAST WEEK Last week the Vikings improved to 2-0 with a 27-13 victory over the Detroit Lions at Ford Field. The Vikings trailed 10-7 at halftime but started the second frame with 20 unanswered points before giving up a fi eld goal in the waning min-utes of the game. The Vikings offense, aided by good fi eld position from takeaways, produced a balanced attack with 112 of their 265 total yards coming on the ground and 153 through the air. QB Brett Favre managed the game close to perfection for the Vikings, completing 23-of-27 passing attempts for 155 yards and two TDs. He fi nished the day with both an impressive completion percentage (85.2%) and passer rating (115.3). Favre’s top targets on the day were WRs Bernard Berrian and rookie Percy Harvin. Berrian caught a team-high 6 balls for 46 yards, while Harvin hauled in 5 passes for 41 yards, including a 3-yard TD pass from Favre. TE Visanthe Shiancoe found the end zone on a 1-yard strike from Favre. On the ground the Vikings were once again lead by All-Pro RB Adrian Pe-terson, who carried the ball 15 times for 92 yards (6.1 avg.), including a 27-yard burst into the end zone. Peterson also tied a career-high with 4 catches, on which he picked up 24 additional yards. Harvin also rushed the ball twice for 14 yards, The Vikings defense put in another solid performance, limiting Detroit’s of-fense to just one touchdown on the day and allowing fi eld goals only after a turn-over and in the fi nal minutes of play with many of the reserve linemen on the fi eld. The Vikings sacked the Lions #1 draft pick QB Matthew Stafford twice and inter-cepted 2 of his passes. Minnesota also extended their streak to 25 consecutive games without giving up a 100-yard rusher. The Vikings top tackler in 2008, LB Chad Greenway, gave the defense a spark, snaring both INTs off of Stafford and returning them for a combined 49 yards, including a 36 yard scamper that set up the Vikings fi nal touchdown of the day. Greenway also recovered a Kevin Smith fumble that led to Peterson’s score. Recording sacks for the Vikings were DEs Jared Allen and Ray Edwards, while Edwards and LB E.J. Henderson shared the team-lead with 8 tackles. K Ryan Longwell connected on both his fi eld goal attempts, hitting from 26 and 46 yards out to reach 300 in his career and move into 20th place all-time in the NFL with 1,389 points scored. He also made all three PATs. P Chris Kluwe had a solid outing, punting 4 times for an average of 42.0 yards and a net of 40.3. He pinned the Lions inside their own 20 yard line once, and forced 3 fair catches. Harvin returned 3 kickoffs for 79 yards (26.3 average), while WR Darius Reynaud took 2 punts back for 22 yards.

VIKINGS TEAM NOTES

Offensive Coordinator Darrell Bevell Offensive Coordinator Darrell Bevell, in his 4th season with Minnesota, spent 2008 leading the Vikings to the 4th-most rushing yards in team history (2,332). The 145.8 yards-per-game average ranked 5th in the NFL, as the unit boasted the league’s leading rusher in RB Adrian Peterson. Peterson rushed for 1,760 yards while breaking several team records, including the most rushing yards in a single

season, the most 100-yard rushing performances in a season (10), and the highest yards per game average (110.0). He became the 3rd fastest player in NFL history to reach 2,000 career yards (21 games) and just the 5th player all-time to reach 3,000 rushing yards within the fi rst 2 years (3,101). Bevell also saw free agent WR Bernard Berrian develop into the team’s fi rst deep threat in years. Berrian had the Vikings 5 longest receptions of the season and led the Vikings in receiving yards 8 times. He averaged 20.1 yards per catch, which was the highest in the league among receivers with at least 40 catches. Under Bevell’s guidance, Peterson and G Steve Hutchinson earned Pro Bowl and All-Pro honors.

Asst. Head Coach/Def. Coord. Leslie Frazier In 2008, Vikings Assistant Head Coach/Defensive Coordinator Leslie Frazier held the reigns of the NFL’s 6th-ranked overall defense and the league’s #1 rushing defense. It was the 3rd straight year the team fi nished #1 against the run, a feat that had never before been accomplished since the 1970 NFL merger. Frazier, who joined the Vikings in 2007, has now been in charge of 2 of those 3 units.

Perhaps even more impressive than the unit’s ranking against the run, however, was the giant leap the team made against the pass. In 2008, the Vikings defense ranked 18th in the passing game after fi nishing 32nd the year prior. The unit allowed just 15 passing touchdowns; only 4 teams in the league gave up fewer scores through the air. Not only did the unit prevent passing TDs, the Vikings defense limited opposing team’s offensive output altogether, allowing just 254 offensive points, the 5th lowest total in the league, and giving up only 255 fi rst downs, the 4th fewest in the NFL. Frazier saw the team’s offseason additions of DE Jared Allen and S Madieu Williams pay dividends, as Allen fi nished 5th in the NFL with 14.5 sacks and Williams returned from injury in Week 9 to fi nish with 45 tackles, 2 INTs, 3 passes defensed and 1 QB hurry. Allen, along with DT Kevin Williams, DT Pat Williams and CB Antoine Winfi eld, earned 2009 Pro Bowl Honors.

Special Teams Coordinator Brian Murphy Brian Murphy takes over as Special Teams Coordinator for the Vikings in 2009 after spending the past 3 seasons as the team’s Special Teams Assistant. Murphy brings experience with special teams units and specialists from his previous roles, which also includes Special Teams Coordinator for the University of Wisconsin from 2002-05 before joining the Vikings staff in 2006.

Murphy will oversee some talented specialists, including K Ryan Longwell, who enters 2009 ranked 22nd in NFL history with 1,370 career points. Longwell connected on 6 fi eld goals of 50+ yards in 2008, breaking the previous team high of 3. He also hit 3 game winners and ranked 8th in the NFL with 29 fi eld goals made on the season. Before a blocked kick in New Orleans (10/6/08), Longwell hit 34 consecutive attempts from under 40 yards. P Chris Kluwe also set team highs in 2008 as he averaged 47.6 gross yards per punt, breaking the previous mark of 46.4 set by Bobby Walden in 1964. Kluwe booted 35 punts of 50+ yards, which broke his previous record of 29 in 2007.

2009 STRENGTH OF SCHEDULE

The Vikings have 2 players poised to play in their 100th career game (including postseason) in 2009: TE Visanthe Shiancoe (98) and DT Kevin Williams (96). The duo will join the 9 current Vikings that have already reached the 100-game plateau in regular season and postseason games combined: QB Brett Favre (275), G Steve Hutchinson (118), TE Jim Kleinsasser (135), LB Ben Leber (106), K Ryan Longwell (194), T Bryant McKinnie (102), RB Chester Taylor (109), DT Pat Williams (172), and CB Antoine Winfi eld (146). Of the group, Kleinsasser has played the most games in a Vikings uniform, with all 135 contests coming as a member of the team. If the big tight end is able to appear in all 16 games in 2009, he will move into 26th place in the Vikings all-time games played list, which is topped by DT Jim Marshall (270).

GOING FOR 100

Seven players on the current Vikings roster have started at least 90% of the NFL games they have been active for, including 2 that have remarkably opened every game in which they’ve played.

VIKINGS TEAM NOTES

ROSTER TURNOVER 2006-2009 Of the 53 players on the roster, 21 were on the Vikings roster for the fi rst regular-season game under Brad Childress on 9/11/2006. Including players that joined the Vikings during the 2006 campaign, a total of 23 players on the 2009 roster were members of the purple and gold in Childress’ fi rst season. Childress has been able to keep a core group of key players together since the beginning of his tenure, as 9 of the 22 starters and 17 players from that fi rst game in 2006, including the 3 specialists, are back in 2009. Here is a position-by-position look at the roster turnover over the past 3 seasons:

QUARTERBACKS – 1-of-3 QBs on the Vikings roster was a Viking in 2006 (Tarvaris Jackson).

RUNNING BACKS/ FULLBACKS – 2-of-4 RBs/FBs on the Vikings roster was a Viking in 2006 (RB Chester Taylor and FB Naufahu Tahi*)

WIDE RECEIVERS – The WR position has seen the biggest turnover as 0-of-6 wideouts on the Vikings current roster were on the squad in 2006.

TIGHT ENDS – 2-of-3 Vikings TEs were Vikings in 2006 (Jim Kleinsasser and Jeff Dugan)

OFFENSIVE LINE – The Vikings have been able to keep the nucleus of their offensive line together with 5 players of the 8 on the roster still remaining from the 2006 squad (Ryan Cook, Anthony Herrera, Artis Hicks, Steve Hutchinson, and Bryant McKinnie). McKinnie, Hicks, and Hutchison were all starters in 2006, while McKinnie, Hutchinson, Herrera, and Cook all were regulars on the line in 2008.

DEFENSIVE LINE – The Vikings defensive line has also been a consistent presence since Childress took over, with 4 of the 9 players remaining from the 2006 season (Ray Edwards, Jayme Mitchell, Kevin Williams, and Pat Williams).

LINEBACKERS – 4-of-7 linebackers going into 2009 were with the Vikings in 2006 (Heath Farwell, Chad Greenway**, E.J. Henderson, and Ben Leber). Leber and Henderson were regulars in 2006, and Greenway, Henderson, and Leber were all starters in 2008 (Henderson was placed on IR following week 4 in 2008).

DEFENSIVE BACKS – 2-of-10 defensive backs heading into training camp were members of the 2006 team (Cedric Griffi n and Antoine Winfi eld). Both were starters in 2008.

SPECIALISTS – All 3 Vikings specialists (P Chris Kluwe, K Ryan Longwell, and LS Cullen Loeffl er) from 2006 are returning in 2009.

VIKINGS PRONUNCIATION GUIDE

For many NFL players, not being selected in the 7 rounds of the draft is extra motivation to prove their worth. The Vikings feature 16 un-drafted players who have earned valuable roles on the team, the most notable of which include 3-time Pro Bowl DT Pat Williams, who was a rookie free agent with Buffalo in 1997 before moving into a starting role with the Bills in 2000, and K Ryan Longwell, who was signed by San Francisco in 1997. The Vikings have signed 8 undrafted rookies that have been molded into key players, including LS Cullen Loeffl er and starting G Anthony Herrera in 2004, LB Heath Farwell, who was injured throughout 2008, in 2005, DE Jayme Mitchell was in 2006, and S Husain Abdullah, LB Erin Henderson, and WR Darius Reynaud in 2008. This season RB Al-bert Young joins the active roster after originally signing as an undrafted rookie in 2008 and spending the season on the practice squad. Several other Vikings began their NFL careers as undrafted rook-ies before joining the Vikings. G Artis Hicks was a rookie free agent with the Eagles and went on to start in the Super Bowl for the team. WR Greg Lewis was also a rookie free agent for the Eagles, while CB Benny Sapp was signed by Kansas City in 2004, P Chris Kluwe was a rookie free agent for the Seattle Seahawks in 2005, and FB Naufahu Tahi was signed by the Cincinnati Bengals in 2006. Vikings LB Kenny Onatolu spent his fi rst 2 years out of college with the Edmonton Eskimos of the CFL. The Vikings most notable all-time undrafted players include Ring of Honor inductees John Randle and Mick Tingelhoff.

DRAFT CHOICES

PERCY HARVIN, WR, FLORIDA FIRST ROUND – 22ND CHOICE, 22ND OVERALL

Harvin became the fi rst Florida Gator drafted in the fi rst round in Vikings history and the fi fth wide receiver selected in the opening round by the team.

Harvin left school after his junior season as one of the most prolifi c players in recent history. A consummate dual threat at wide receiver and tailback, Harvin amassed 1,929 aerial yards to go with 1,852 on the ground and 32 total touchdowns in a three-year career that included two National Champi-onships. He became one of only two wide receivers in Division I-A football since 1996 to have over 1,500 rushing and receiving yards, and the fi rst to accomplish the feat in just 3 years. The Virginia Beach native set a number of Florida records, including most career yards rushing by a WR (1,852), and most rushing yards in a single season by a receiver (764 in 2007). Harvin earned 2008 1st-Team All-America (all purpose) honors from the AFCA, Sports Illustrated, Walter Camp and was a 2nd-Teamer with the Associated Press. He was also selected as a 1st-Team All-SEC WR by the league’s coaches and 1st-Team by the Associated Press as an all-purpose player and 2nd-Team as a WR.

Harvin is the only athlete in Virginia state history to claim fi ve gold medals at the state track championships.

PHIL LOADHOLT, OT, OKLAHOMA SECOND ROUND – 22ND CHOICE, 54TH OVERALL

Standing at 6’8 and 340 pounds Phil Loadholt made his mark as a dominating force on one of college football’s best offensive units. A consensus fi rst-team All-Big 12 as a senior, Loadholt spent two seasons at OU, transferring in after two seasons at Garden City (KS) Community College. In his two years in Norman, the Sooners won back-to-back Big 12 titles and compiled a 23-5 record with Loadholt opening 27 contests. The Fountain, Colorado native helped 2008 OU team set numerous national and team records, including scoring an NCAA-record 716 points, topping the 656 by Hawaii in 2006 and recording a team and NCAA-record 96 offensive touchdowns. Oklahoma averaged over 51 points and 547 yards per game, while scoring 60+ points in fi ve-straight games in 2008. The 2008 squad capped the year off with a Big 12 title and advanced to National Championship game against Harvin’s Florida Gator. Loadholt blocked for a pair of 1,000-yard rushers as a senior.

ASHER ALLEN, CB, GEORGIA THIRD ROUND – 22ND CHOICE, 86TH OVERALL

Allen joined the Vikings after his junior season with the Bulldogs as a hard-nosed cornerback and elite kickoff return specialist. The Tucker, Georgia, native started his fi nal two seasons at Georgia as a strong-side corner and earned recognition as a fi nalist for the Lott Trophy and as a semifi nalist for the Jim Thorpe Award as the nation’s top defensive back. The Lott Trophy is presented annually to the college football Defensive IMPACT Player of the Year. IMPACT is an acronym for: Integrity, Maturity, Performance, Academics, Community, and Tenacity.

In total, Allen started 24 of 39 games at Georgia and tallied 141 tackles, 3 sacks, and 9 TFLs, 3 INTs, and 2 FRs. As a kick returner, Allen set the Bulldogs season record for returns and return yards with 28 returns for 690 yards. He also leaves school after just three years ranked third in Georgia history with 1,110 career return yards and fourth in school annals with a 23.6 yards per attempt average.

JASPER BRINKLEY, LB, SOUTH CAROLINA FIFTH ROUND – 14TH CHOICE, 150TH OVERALL

The Vikings moved up eight spots in the fi fth round, trading their second of two seventh round picks to Washington, to make sure they got Brinkley. The Thomson, Georgia native was considered a top-round pick at middle linebacker before injuring his knee four games into the 2007 season, being named to the All-SEC fi rst-team and the Bronko Nagurski Trophy, Butkus Award, and Lombardi Award watch lists in the 2007 preseason. Brinkley spent 2 months in a wheelchair, but returned to start every game in 2008, playing his best football at the end of the season, including 11 tackles and an INT in the Gamecocks matchup vs. Iowa in the Outback Bowl. Brinkley was named to the All-SEC second-team, as the Gamecocks defense ranked 13th in the nation in total defense and second in the nation in pass defense.

Brinkley was teammates with Vikings wide receiver Sidney Rice at South Carolina.

JAMARCA SANFORD, S, OLE MISS SEVENTH ROUND – 22ND CHOICE, 231ST OVERALL

A four-year starter at Mississippi, Sanford was the SEC’s active leader in career tackles as a senior in 2008. The Batesville, Mississippi native started all 44 games he played in and was selected to play in the Texas vs. The Nation All-Star Challenge following his senior season. Sanford’s leadership was recognized when he was named a captain for the Rebels in 2008 and honored with the 2008 Leadership Award from the Birmingham Alumni Club. Sanford made an impact as a freshman at Ole Miss as he was named third-team Freshman All-America by the sporting news and fi rst-team Freshman All-SEC by the leagues coaches. Sanford was selected as the SEC Defensive Player of the Week after Mississippi’s game at Florida in 2008, as he shut future teammate Percy Harvin down.

Sanford was teammates at Ole Miss with Vikings defensive end Jayme Mitchell.

TEST OF DURABLILITY At Detroit, Brett Favre started his 271st consecutive game and passed former Vikings ironman Jim Marshall for the most consecutive regular-season starts in NFL history. Marshall started 270 games in a row for Minnesota from 1961-79. He played 12 games with Cleveland in 1960, but offi cial records of starters were not kept before 1961. The Browns internal records, however, indicate that Marshall did not start the fi nal 11 games of that season. Favre trails only Marshall in consecutive regular season games played, as Favre has played in 273 straight and Marshall fi nished his career with 282 in a row.

A DANGEROUS ONE-TWO PUNCH

HARVIN CATCHES FIRST TD Rookie WR Percy Harvin caught QB Brett Favre’s fi rst pass as a Viking in the pre-season and Favre’s fi rst regular season TD pass with Minnesota in Week 1 at Cleveland (9/13).

Harvin fi nished the game with 3 catches for 36 yards while returning 3 kickoffs for 99 yards (33.0 avg.). He became only the 6th Vi-

kings rookie to score in his fi rst NFL game.

BERRI NICE WR Bernard Berrian currently ranks 3rd on the team with 6 catches for 46 yards through the fi rst 2 games.

It also tied as the longest pass in NFL history; only 11 play-ers have caught 99-yard TD passes all-time.

In his fi rst year with the team, Berrian had the Vikings 5 longest receptions of the season and led the Vikings in receiving yards 8 times. He also had 4 of the Vikings longest 5 TD catches (99t, 86t, 54t, 49t). He put up his 3 highest single-game receiving yardage days of his career - 131 vs. Detroit, 122 vs. Chicago and 110 at New Orleans.

Cleveland (9/13). At Detroit (9/20), Sullivan helped QB Brett Favre set a team record by completing 85.2% of his passes (23 of 27). Sullivan was the 4th center drafted in 2008, when the Vikings took him in the 6th round (#187) out of Notre Dame.


NOWHERE TO RUN Under Head Coach Brad Childress, the Vikings have allowed only two 100-yard individual rushing performances in the past 50 games. Only St. Louis Rams RB Steven Jackson (12/31/06) and Green Bay Packers RB Ryan Grant (11/11/07) have reached the century mark during that time with 142 and 102 yards respectively. The Vikings have gone 25 consecutive games without allowing a 100-yard rusher, which is the 2nd-longest current streak behind the Baltimore Ra-vens 37 games. Over the past 3+ seasons (2006-09), the Vikings have given up a total of 3,618 rushing yards, which leads the league during that time. Opponents are averaging just 72.4 rushing yards per game. The Vi-kings became the fi rst team since the 1970 NFL-AFL merger to rank #1 against the run in 3 consecutive seasons (2006-2008) and can become the 2nd team in all-time NFL history to rank #1 in 4 straight years (Dallas 1966-69) if they can fi nish ranked #1 in 2009.

VIKINGS SPECIAL TEAMS NOTES

Vikings 5th-year P Chris Kluwe, who origi-nally joined the team after being released by Seattle in 2005, now owns several Vikings records. In 2008, he set team marks for the highest gross punting average in a single season with his 47.6 yard average and the most punts of 50+ yards with his 35. His 35 punts of 50+ yards broke his previous Vikings record of 29 in 2007. Kluwe ranked 2nd in the NFC and 4th in the NFL as he punted 73 times

for 3,473 yards. In Week 4 at Tennessee (9/28/08), Kluwe punted 6 times, all of which traveled over 50 yards (52, 50, 57, 57, 52, 56), set-ting a new Vikings record for the most 50-yard punts in a single game. Kluwe’s 54.0-yard punting average on the day ranks as the 4th highest in team history. Kluwe now owns 3 of the top 5 performances in Vi-kings history. Kluwe has left opponents inside the 20-yard line 103 times since entering the league in 2005. That total ranks 11th during that time span.

FARWELL RETURNS TO SPECIAL TEAMS After missing the entire 2008 season with a knee injury, special teams standout LB Heath Farwell re-signed with the team in the 2009 offseason and immediately showed the Vikings they made the right decision, as he is tied for the team lead with 4 special teams tackles through the fi rst 2 games. Farwell was selected by teammates as the Special Teams Player of the Year in 2006 and 2007. He set a Vikings record with 7 special

teams tackles at the N.Y. Giants (11/25/07) and has 61 special teams tackles in the last 2+ seasons he’s played.

COMMUNITY CALENDARVIKINGS TO HOST “PLAY 60 CHALLENGE” CLINIC AT UNITED

WAY FUNDED CATHOLIC CHARITIES’ ST. JOSEPH’S HOME FOR CHILDREN

Players to promote health and wellness as lead-up to Nickelodeon TV network’s “World Wide Day of Play” encouraging kids to be active

MINNEAPOLIS - American Heart Association “Play 60 Challenge” spokesperson and Minnesota Vikings C John Sullivan, along with team-mates QB John David Booty, WR Percy Harvin, QB Tarvaris Jackson, WR Sidney Rice, RB Albert Young, and the Vikings Athletic Training Staff, are scheduled to hold an American Heart Association “Play 60 Challenge” clinic at the Catholic Charities’ St. Joseph’s Home for Chil-dren on Tuesday, September 22 from 3-4 p.m.

Approximately 65 youth from St. Joe’s will be led through a series of drills designed to teach the basics of football. Players will deliver a posi-tive message to the children about the importance of perseverance and teamwork as well as stress the importance of being active.

The event’s focus on activity also fi ts perfectly with the Vikings’ commit-ment to health and fi tness and support of Nickelodeon’s “World Wide Day of Play” (WWDP) which will take place on Saturday, September 26. Nickelodeon goes dark from 12 to 3 p.m. on September 26 to encourage kids to be active, a message the Vikings and the NFL fully support.

Established as a day focused on active play and getting kids away from their TV, WWDP aligns perfectly with the “Play 60 Challenge” aimed at getting children active for at least 60 minutes a day.

For the second consecutive year, the Vikings Athletic Training staff will participate in support of the Ed Block Courage Award Foundation. St. Joseph’s Home for Children is recognized by the NFL’s Ed Block Cour-age Award Foundation as serving as a “Courage House” for the Minne-sota Vikings. The Ed Block Courage Award Foundation is dedicated to heightening awareness of the plight of abused and neglected children.

Since 1998, the Vikings have partnered with Catholic Charities St. Jo-seph’s Home for Children on numerous community events. The Catholic Charities program annually assists more than 2,000 children through its day and residential treatment programs, emergency shelter and intake services for children removed from the home by Hennepin County.

St. Joseph’s Home for Children is located at 1121 East 46th Street in Minneapolis.

About the United Way and Minnesota Vikings partnershipThis event is part of the Minnesota Vikings and United Way partnership. Each year, the two organizations team up to create pathways out of poverty to strengthen the community. The partnership is committed to the Twin Cities community through raising awareness about important issues including health, youth and volunteering.

For more information log on to www.unitedwaytwincities.org/vikings.

*Due to the sensitive nature of what brought these children to St. Joe’s, the staff has obtained photo releases for several children. These chil-dren will be in one group as they rotate to the different stations. Only children with releases can be photographed and/or interviewed. Federal and state law prohibits photos of any other children. Media will be direct to enter the building through the gym. Catholic Charities’ communica-tions director will be on site during the event to help facilitate coverage.

THE CLINIC WILL TAKE PLACE INSIDE IN THE GYMNASIUM.

VIKINGS ON THE AIR Catch the Vikings every Sunday during the season from 10:00-11:00 a.m. on back-to-back FSN North shows - Vikings GamePlan and Vikings Weekly.

VIKINGS ALL-TIME COACHES

VIKINGS RELAUNCH WEB SITE In an effort to provide fans with an improved online experience, the Minnesota Vikings re-launched the team’s web site, www.vikings.com, in July, becoming the 9th club to join a new web platform initiated by the National Football League. The more structured site makes it easier for viewers to consume media of all types, including, but not limited to, videos and news. Fans will continue to be able to stream live video of Head Coach Brad Chil-dress’ press conferences and other important team functions. The streamlined vikings.com features a robust photo gallery function, a fan-friendly event calendar that highlights all team-related happenings in the community, as well as links to the Vikings Facebook and Twitter pages. The most noticeable improvement to the user experience, however, will be the overall speed of the site and the volume of exclusive Vikings con-tent. “We’re excited to offer our fans a better online experience through the re-launch of vikings.com,” said Vice President of Sales and Market-ing/Chief Marketing Offi cer Steve LaCroix. “The multiple enhancements in tools and video along with the increased speed of the site align with our continued efforts to be the fans’ ‘source for everything purple.’” The Vikings join 8 other clubs that have re-launched team sites in conjunction with the NFL web platform. Eventually all 32 teams will make the move that is designed to provide opportunities to utilize technology that would otherwise be cost-prohibitive. Sharing these effi ciencies will lead to better web site experiences for fans throughout the NFL while still allowing each team to continue having its own identity. “We are thrilled to have the Vikings on the new platform,” said George Scott, General Manager of Club Sites for the NFL’s Digital Media Group. “The new vikings.com features a streamlined layout and design that gives fans quick access to all of the latest featured content.”

FROM THE HEAD COACH

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 2009 Vikings Head Coach Brad Childress

Okay, (there were) a ton of good things from yesterday’s game, as well as things that we can improve on, which you expect at this point of the season. Particularly of note (are) just the turnovers. The 14 points scored off of turnovers I thought was a positive for us. Obviously we gave three (points up) off our one turnover. Special teams I think continues to chip away at it. (We are) very close to hitting a long return on a couple of those kickoff returns. I though our kickers did a great job. I think (Chris) Kluwe was a 43 gross (yard punting average) and a 40 net (yard punting average) and (had) great hangtime. Anytime your hangtime is above your gross you usually stand to be pretty good. So he did a great job with that, then by and large that kickoff coverage (was good). I thought, besides the one that came down at the ten (yard line) he (Ryan Longwell) did a great job of moving the football around and then our guys did a nice job of fi lling up those lanes. We had couple of inside-the-20 kickoff covers as well. Just in terms of the start of the game, I thought their physicality was better than ours as we started off the game, and I would tell you that on both sides. I don’t particularly see it as offensively starting slow, since (on the fi rst drive) we were up there at the midfi eld stripe (until an Adrian Peterson fumble). Obviously a fumble will stop a drive as fast as anything and that was obviously not a fumble that was ripped or pulled away, it was just his failure to close around the ball there and I think he noted that. Offensively we were three-and-out, I think, three times in that fi rst half – two of which had sacks. Then the next three series were scoring series for us; two touchdowns and a fi eld goal – one right before the half, one coming out from the half and then the next one being a fi eld goal series. So we got a ton of things we can chip away at. We are happy to be 2-0 with a tough opponent coming in here that is undefeated as well this week.

Q: Is there anything that you can put your fi nger on as to why it has been taking the team so long to get in a good rhythm in both games so far?A: I really didn’t see a common thread. Obviously we had the bloop onsides last week that cost us three (points) in the fi rst series. The defense did a good job of shutting them down. They did a nice job of shutting them down with the ball at the 50 (yard line) and allowing (only) three (points). I just thought after that that they are two different games so I didn’t see a common thread there offensively and defensively to what was going on. Obviously, I have said this before, we weren’t into, ‘let’s lull them to sleep and then when they start not paying attention, don’t think we are serious, we’ll get busy with them a little bit.’

Q: On the fl ip side of that is there something in your adjustments at halftime that has been getting you going?A: I think you are always able to refocus when you go into halftime. I think adjustments are an overrated thing, but there are certainly adjustments that are made and there are things that you talk about. I just think you get back about your business and I get chance to tell them what I saw in the fi rst half. I’m going to say that it is a Knute Rockne speech or anything like that. It is pointed to what we saw and what we needed to get done as we started the second half. I think defensively they were about their business with the three and out stop and the sack with the fi rst play (of the half) and then we came up with the 70-yard drive. So sometimes it’s just a matter of re-pointing yourself and kind of re-centering yourself a little bit. Do you hope to be that way when you come out at the start? You do. You take that for granted. It’s not like you’re not talking about it coming out of the gate, but that’s just the way it has kind of manifested itself in the fi rst two games.

Q: Were you trying to get the ball deep on the fi rst two sacks of the game?A: I wish I could remember particularly (what plays they were). The fi rst one I know we weren’t. The speed rushes on (Bryant) McKinnie and (Phil) Loadholt was not. However it was a seven-step drop and we can just do a better job with that.

Q: So you weren’t trying to throw deep on that one?A: We were not.

Q: What about on the second one?A: I can’t completely recall. I know there were three of them (sacks). A couple of them the quarterback held the ball just a little bit longer than he should have. One of them was the fullback. (He) couldn’t get around to sustain his block on the mike linebacker. One of them was the tackles being pushed back and one of them I think was the quarterback holding the ball a little bit longer. So usually it is a bunch of different things that has to do with it. Do we asses it in one area when we keep track of sacks? You know, the old story of the offensive line coach (in his) fi rst year in the league and the fi lm guy comes in and fl ips the reel on his desk and says, ‘Here’s your sack reel.’ And he is looking at the 16 millimeter tape and saying, ‘My sack reel?’

‘Yeah that’s the sacks you gave up.’

So you go, ‘Whoa, whoa, whoa lets hold on for a minute. Let’s go back and let’s assign these. Is that a half- sack, like they do on the defensive side? Is that the running back? Is that because the receiver didn’t get open? Is that because the quarterback is holding on to the football?’

Coaches are very sensitive about that. ‘Well wait a minute, where do you want him to throw the ball.’ Or, ‘Let’s hold on for a minute now. You think he can throw with this guy in his lap right here?’ So it’s usually a mix of things where the sack occurs. It does not have to be a throw down the fi eld. Although, I know just from reading the clips today there is a clamoring for the throws down the fi eld. There is a taste for it right now. There is an appetite for it.

Q: Does the West Coast offense have the ability to throw down the fi eld?A: The West Coast can throw down the fi eld, yes it can. It has that capability.

Q: Are you concerned with your offensive group?A: I am not at all concerned. I am concerned with the ones that we did give and get those corrected. Also, I think that you would be remising saying that you have to give a seven step drop to throw the ball down the fi eld deep. That is a misnomer as well.

Q: Is this the offense you envisioned when heading into this season?A: In terms of wins yes. (The) West Coast offense, if you could describe it, it would be high completion percentage and low interception percentage; those two things. It is typically a run after the catch offense. It used to be termed an extended hand off, an extended sweep. But with that said, you typi-cally are reading high to low, you are typically looking to see are they going to give you something down the fi eld and then you are bringing it down to the intermediate, to the check down.

FROM THE HEAD COACHQ: Does Brett Favre provide the team with a sense of calmness?A: Yeah, I wouldn’t know how to put that factor on there. I just thought last week I had a sense of it on the sideline. Everybody went about their business down there. Offense, defense, special teams, that there is a good fl ow of information; whether it be after a sack or a negative play or after a series where they drove for a touchdown. Offensively against our defense, everybody has gone to work to try to fi x it. I can think of one circumstance yesterday where we had a wrong formation and a lost opportunity for a fi rst down. As opposed to having to go through those still pictures and fi nd out who’s who and where’s where and what happened. That you are trying to piece together somebody right away said “Coach it was me, I lined up wrong.” Now you can put that to bed and know why that happened and you can go forward. Then coach what you’ve seen and what you are going to do for the next series as opposed to being an investigator the whole time that the segment is off the football, everybody kind of sitting there tight lipped. Is Brett that factor? I don’t know, there is good information that goes through those quarterbacks and Bev (Darrel Bevell) on the sidelines; as well as him with the receivers.

Q: Has Brett Favre changed his ways or is he just doing what it takes to win?A: I think he’s playing within the confi nes if you will. I don’t know if confi ning is the right word. He’s playing the way that we need to play to win. Now are we looking for balls up the fi eld?, yeah we are looking for balls up the fi eld. We just haven’t had that many yet. We have had throws up the fi eld, but those throws are long foul balls till they get completed down the fi eld. So he is being effi cient with it. You can talk to him with that. He is being very effi cient within the scope of things

Q: What are your thoughts on the lack of downfi eld attack so far?A: I always fi nd it interesting when you win and then people are going to tell you how you should win. Anybody who doesn’t get how hard it is to win a game in this league, it’s a hard thing to do, it’s hard. It’s harder yet to go on the road and do it. Do I fi nd it interesting? No, I just fi nd that it is what it is.

Q: Have expectations now changed after going 2-0 on the road to start the season?A: I think that’s great. I am glad those people have high expectations or would like to see it done with the wildcat. It was en vogue, not as much here anymore. Some people say that it has gone the way of the dinosaur, it was just a fad. Until somebody scores a couple times and then it’s going to be “How come you’re not using the wildcat.” You never know, it might happen sometime.

Q: The Lions looked to avoid Pat and Kevin Williams in the running game, how did that affect your defense? A: Usually that has to do with gap integrity. He’s (Kevin Smith) a good running back. He did a good job of taking it up inside and bouncing it back outside. There’s different plays and different things whether somebody bit the cheese and stuck their head inside and he was able to bounce it. Whether it was support, whether it was somebody not putting an edge on the defense. It was little things every time but little things add up to a drive. Those are things that we have to get corrected.

Q: Ray Edwards is off to a solid start can you comment on his play? A: I call that side a base end position so he has to stand up against the run. I saw him make a bunch of chase plays that I don’t know if you guys (media) noticed. He turns and runs to the football and makes a share of hustle plays. As well as being good at the point of attack in the run game, as well as being to generate pressure on that passer. He’s a guy that usually has a good off season with his body and takes care of it. He’s a guy that plays the game hard and has the stamina to be able to stay in there for all those plays.

Q: Is there concern for Frank Gore and the 49ers running attack? A: I’m not going to denigrate any running backs. Kevin Smith is a very good running back. You’re usually going to see a pretty good runner every week, sometimes you’re going to see two pretty good runners. You have to take care of your gap and people are counting on you to take care of your gap. Typically when you see those things crease somebody hasn’t done that. Against a good runner, against a team that emphasizes what they emphasize and their level of physical toughness you better be about your business that way. Because I tell you they are not going to come in here like some people do and say geez we’re not going to be able to run the football. They are going to try and exert their will physically on you running the football. They are going to do that.

Q: You really spread the ball around near the goal line. Was that by design? A: No, I’m glad you said that. I haven’t thought of that. I’m going to sell it that was from now on (laughs). It’s a good thing isn’t it? It makes us well rounded. I did see it written that it was kind of a broken play where we threw to (Visanthe) Shiancoe but that was a very well designed play. For him to have cover zero in the back of the end zone, which means nobody was covering him, but I think it is good that you are able to mix it around. All those were called plays. Shiancoe wasn’t the only option on that one. (Percy) Harvin wasn’t the only option on the one that he caught. Fahu (Naufahu Tahi) was handed the ball and wanted to punch it in right there.

Q: Is there a number of passing attempts you would like Brett Favre to stay under? A: You know different games are different ways. If all the sudden you get behind you may have the best intentions in the world that you’re going to run the football and you have to pick up that pitch count. In a 60 play game, 20 to 30 throws would be great with about 20 to 30 completions.

Q: How is Brett Favre’s hand? A: His hand is fi ne. Ok, so I’m going to give you an update. He bent his fi ngernail. Not a fractured thumb, not a dislocated wrist, or a season ending (injury). He bent his fi ngernail. That hurts. For you guys that have fi ngernails that hurts. I don’t know that we have a fi ngernail bend chart.

Q: How is Brett Favre’s arm holding up? A: I don’t have one concern. I see him throw it long, throw it short. He does a good job in the strength area. He strengthened all those muscles (in his arm). I don’t have one concern about his arm at all.

1992 Named as the 3rd QB for the NFC Pro Bowl squad after finishing 5th among conference passers with an 85.3 overall rating...At the time, was the youngest quarterback ever to play in AFC-NFC Pro Bowl (since 1971) at 23 years, 3 months, 28 days of age...Acquired from Atlanta by then-Packers General Manager Ron Wolf for a 1st-round draft selection in an offseason trade (2/10)...Helped Green Bay to its 2nd-best record in 20 years (9-7), soaring from designated backup to Pro Bowler in just 3 months...Beginning the 1992 season as the understudy to incumbent Don Majkowski, he was hastily summoned from the bench to replace an injured Majkowski (ankle) in the 1st quarter of Game 3 vs. Cincinnati (9/20) and led the Packers to a come-from-behind, 24-23 victory over the Bengals, forged by way of a 35-yard scor-ing pass to WR Kitrick Taylor with only 13 seconds remaining in the game...He went on to compile an 8-5 record as a starter...His 302 completions tied him with Troy Aikman of Super Bowl champion Dallas for 1st-place honors in NFC...Ranked 2nd in the conference (to Steve Young) with his 64.12 passing percentage, which broke Starr’s Green Bay single-season record of 63.74, set in 1968...Became only the 4th Packers QB to pass for over 3,000 yards in a season...Did not play vs. Minnesota in regular-season opener (9/6), but saw action in 2nd-half relief role the next week at Tampa Bay (9/13), completing 8-of-14 passes for 73 yards...Engineered 2 TD drives in last 8:00 of the game to pull out 24-23 victory over Cincinnati (9/20) after relieving injured Majkowski in opening quarter, he threw for a season-high 289 yards and had 2 TDs against Bengals on 22-of-39 passing, throwing 1st career TD pass to Sharpe for a 5-yard score...Made 1st NFL start vs. Pittsburgh (9/27) and responded by completing 14-of-19 passes for 210 yards and 2 TDs, including a 76-yarder to Sharpe, with no INTs...Staged an inspired performance vs. Philadelphia (11/15), leading the Packers to a 27-24, come-from-behind victory despite suffering a 1st-degree separation of his left (non throwing) shoul-der early in the game.

1991 Was a 2nd-round draft selection by the Falcons (33rd overall and 3rd QB, after Dan McGwire and Todd Marinovich)...Completed 14-of-32 passes for 160 yards and 2 TDs with 1 INT, in the preseason...Active for 3 games during the regular season,

he played in 2 vs. LA Rams (10/27) and at Washington (11/10), officially attempting 4 incomplete passes in Redskins contest...After the 2004 season, Elias Sports Bureau changed Favre’s official passing attempts for that Washington game; in researching Favre’s early career, viewing a tape of the CBS broadcast, Elias determined that Favre actually threw 4 passes in the game (the RFK Stadium press box had mistakenly credited him with 5 attempts in hand-written statistics).

COLLEGE Led his Southern Mississippi team to 29 victories, including 2 bowl wins, during 4 varsity seasons (1987-90), and climaxed his collegiate career by earning a Most Valuable Player award in the East-West Shrine game...Set school records for passing yards (8,193), pass attempts (1,234), completions (656), passing percentage (53.0) and TDs (55), with only 35 INTs..Overcame injuries in a serious summer car accident prior to his senior year to lead his team to an 8-3 record and just 8 points from an undefeated season...Suffered internal injuries in the accident on 7/14/90, he subsequently had 30 inches of his intestines surgically removed 24 days later (8/7/90)...Shocked his coaches and team-mates by returning to the starting lineup a month later (9/8/90) and escorting the Golden Eagles to an upset over Alabama...Was MVP of All-American Bowl at conclusion of senior year...Became starter at Southern Miss in 3rd game of his freshman season...Had the No. 4 jersey he had worn at Southern Mississippi retired in September of 1993.
