SHSU defeated McNair on ABC in 1994 and helped end his Heisman hunt.

They broadcasted the game on ABC?

Was it because he was a Heisman finalist?

TRhe most storied number in college football is without a doubt #44 of Syracuse. Jim Brown (greatest of all), Ernie Davis, and Floyd Little, all wore #44 for The Orange. http://www.suathletics.com/news/Football/2006/6/29/ESPN44.asp?path=Football?path=

Also we highly revere the #15. So much so that no Griz will ever wear it again. For your consideration:
College career
Dickenson is considered by many to be the greatest quarterback ever to play for the University of Montana. He owns numerous Big Sky Conference and Montana records. By the time he graduated in 1995, Dickenson had the highest completion percentage, highest percentage of passes for a touchdown, and fewest interceptions per pass in NCAA Division I-AA history. In his college career (including playoff games) he completed 1,015 of 1,477 passes (68.7%) for 13,486 yards, with 116 touchdowns and only 26 interceptions, and was responsible for 137 total touchdowns (116 passing and 21 rushing).

In 1995, Dickenson's senior season, he threw for 5,676 yards in fifteen games, including 1,500 in four playoff games. After leading the Grizzlies to the I-AA national championship in 1995, Dickenson won the 1995 Walter Payton Award as the outstanding offensive player in Division I-AA.

In Montana, he is known as "Super Dave" and "The Legend of the Fall." His college jersey number, #15, was retired by the University of Montana. He is one of only two players so honored. In 1999, Dickenson was listed as the 12th best Athlete to ever come out of Montana in Sports Illustrated's 50th Anniversary Issue.[1] In 2004, he was voted the most popular athlete from Montana in a Sports Illustrated poll.[2]
