However Frazier Plays, He’s a Winner in Shrine Game

Tommie Frazier, after struggling early in his debut as a pro-style quarterback, led the West to three fourth-quarter touchdowns and a 34-18 victory in the East-West Shrine Game.

The victory also enabled former UCLA Coach Terry Donahue, who guided the West, to go out on a winning note.

Frazier, who led Nebraska to the national championship this month, threw a 52-yard touchdown pass to UCLA’s Kevin Jordan and scored on a five-yard run. In all, Frazier completed 11 of 20 passes for 163 yards and gained 33 yards in six carries. He was named the most valuable player.

Andre Davis of Texas Christian scored two first-half touchdowns for the West, the first on a two-yard run, the other on an 11-yard pass from Washington’s Damon Huard.

Florida’s Chris Doering, who had five receptions for 105 yards for the East, caught a 49-yard touchdown pass from Michigan State’s Tony Banks. Heisman Trophy winner Eddie George of Ohio State was held to 32 yards in 11 carries for the East.
