2024 Arizona football season countdown: 60 days to kickoff
A LOOK BACK — NO. 60 RICK WARREN. With it being the 60th day until kickoff between the Lobos and Wildcats, the best player to wear No. 60 for Arizona is left guard Rick Warren, who played with the program from 1989-1990. He helped make Dick Tomey’s “Fumblerooskie” play famous in 1990. Arizona beat 15-point favorite USC and former coach Larry Smith 35-26 at the L.A. Coliseum after overcoming a 17-7 deficit with three touchdown runs by quarterback Ronald Veal in the second half, one of them set up by Warren’s 28-yard run on the Fumblerooskie. That is a play in which the ball is left on the turf, fooling the defense, and the guard picks it up and runs. Veal dropped the snap on the ground behind center Paul Tofflemire and faked on option play to the left. Warren scooped up the ball amid the traffic and took off down the right side for a 28-yard gain to the USC 3. The play begins at the 2:05:30 of the video above. “It’s as old as the hills,” UA coach Dick Tomey said of the fumblerooski in the L.A. Times, “but you’ve got to have the guts to use it.” It was the third time that season that the Wildcats used that play, which was outlawed by the NCAA after the 1992 season. Warren scored on a 24-yard touchdown rumble on a fumblerooski in a 28-16 upset of No. 11 Illinois (coached by John Mackovic) in the season-opener. “It’s called 13 fumblerooski,” Warren said in the L.A. Times, talking about the play against USC. “Thirteen is our option play left. On the 13 fumblerooski, everybody else goes left and I go right.” Warren was a walk-on in 1988 from Taft (Calif.) Junior College and Pittsburg (Kan.) State. He earned a scholarship before the start of the 1989 season. Warren went on to become a real estate investor in the Atlanta area.
