Happy Birthday Ottis Anderson
Wishing a Happy Birthday to a Blaze Hometown Hero, Mr. Ottis Anderson. #561 In his very 1st game in the NFL, the rookie Running Back from Miami rushed for 193 yards on 21 carries, including a 76 yard touchdown run. It is the 2nd highest rushing total for a player in their very 1st game. Any guesses on who rushed for 194?
Hint: (It happened in the same year that lightning struck the Clock Tower in Hill Valley, CA. This RB also won Rookie of Year honors, just like Ottis did.
9/2/79: OJ Anderson gained 193 yards in his NFL debut at Busch Stadium as the Cowboys beat the Cards 22-21.
