    Crap. My second guess on No. 4 would have been correct, but I looked it up so I'm disqualified.

    1. Ricky Sanders caught two of the touchdowns and Gary Clark had one. The fourth was one of the tight ends, Didier or Warren I think, but I forget which.

    I'll guess at 4: Lawrence McCutcheon

    yep.

    Here's another one to chew on ...

    Seven former Heisman Trophy winners have accounted for touchdowns in a Super Bowl — four as rushers, two as passers and one as a return man. Name them.

    Answers

    Rushers
    1. Marcus Allen — 2 touchdowns in Super Bowl XVIII
    2. Eddie George — 2 touchdowns in Super Bowl XXXIV
    3. Tony Dorsett — 1 touchdown in Super Bowl XI
    4. Mike Garrett — 1 touchdown in Super Bowl IV (the famed "65 Toss Power Trap")

    Passers
    5. Roger Staubach — 2 TD passes in Super Bowl VI, 2 in Super Bowl X, 1 in Super Bowl XI, 3 in Super Bowl XII (8 total)
    6. Jim Plunkett — 3 TD passes in Super Bowl XV, 1 in Super Bowl XVIII (4 total)

    Return man
    7. Desmond Howard — kickoff return in Super Bowl XXXI

    Desmond Howard was the return man
    Plunkett and Staubach were the passers
    Dorsett, Eddie George may be the runners. Blanking on the other two

    Desmond Howard is the return man. (Edit: dammit, cycling beat me to it)

    Eddie George is definitely one of the runners. I'm assuming he is right about Dorsett, too. Marcus Allen is another.

    All correct answers so far. Still need one more rusher, though.

    Dan Reeves, Ditka, Tom Flores.

    Also, Flores for one of the backup QB spots.

    Correct on Ditka, Reeves and Dungy. Flores is correct for the bonus, but he didn't actually play in a Super Bowl (was back-up to Len Dawson with KC in SB IV).
