Watters was in the NFL by 1992. I was sitting in the end zone corner where Mirer threw the interception. FWIW, the Stanford DB was the only available receiver and he drilled him in the numbers.

Correct

Watters had fumbleitis in the 1990 Stanford home game,

Bettis fumbled twice in the 1992 game.

The Interception you alluded to was made by John Lynch on a pass intended for Irv Smith.
Mirer was awful that day. But so was the entire offense. To have Stanford score the last 33 points was unforgivable.

The 1992 team really under-achieved. The Michigan tie was another brutal reminder.

Don't let the facts get in the way of the argument, which

is that Mirer shouldn't have been yanked even if he did hit Lynch in the numbers. And we fumbled 4 times in '92.

But you and Seamus are correct. Waters was '90. '92 was my senior year and I was at both Stanford games. It seems my recollection of those games has blended into one. I just remember us shitting the bed both times. I was also told my friends and I heckled Janet Evans at one of the 2 games.
