The Giants were led by quarterback Jeff Hostetler, who I felt should have received the MVP SPORTS trophy. Ottis Anderson did have a good game, but I may be showing a little favoritism since Hostetler did -.. play for the Mountaineers. Who will be the starting quarterback for the Giants next year? This is a question Bill Parcells may by Greg Alfred be pondermg over during the off season. BIIt, for now we will let him enjoy the win .. While the Giants rejoiced happily after their big win the Buffalo Bills sat sorrowly in their locker room wondering "what if?" What if Bruce Smith had stripped Jeff Hostetler of the ball in the endzone resulting in a touchdown? What if the Bills were more sucessful on third down conversions and, the big question Scali Norwood keeps going through his head, "what if I had made the field goal?" This is one of the few game 10 Super Bowl history that the question "what if?" can be addresses. Let's just hope more Super Bowls in the future resemble Super Bowl XXV. "The Rocket" turning pro is the other big story in the football world. Raghib Ismail has decided to forgo his senior year at Notre Dame to tum pro. Can you blame him? He is projecled to be either the first or second pick overall in the upcoming draft. Ismail docs plan on going back during the summers to get his degree.
