Fargas proved he was quite the “muddier” when he was “the man” versus Northwestern that season.  The first half was played in a monsoon.  By the second half kickoff, the field was a quagmire.  Northwestern hosted Ohio State the following weekend and the field looked like someone had been doing donuts on it.

Didn't Fargas eventually transfer to USC? Even so, I also remember that 1998 game against Northwestern, which was played in a hellacious fall rain - Fargas was very slippery, but then so was the ball and virtually everyone else, but Fargas definitely used it to his advantage on some big gains, as I recall.

Went to wiki to check out his career as I do recall he did transfer to usc.  It mentions that we converted him to a safety after his injury year.  Why did we/he do that, had he lost a few steps because he went on to play rb at usc and in the pros???

Saw Justin run at ND high school in Sherman Oaks, ca.

He was awesome, you didn't need a star system to this kid could go. Coach Jackson agreed he had the makings for a great one, but had a terrible foot dislocation after the NW game.  Still a Raider. 

Go Blue.
