- Starting on 1 to 3 special teams entire career (cover kicks &, punts,
KO & PR)
- Ground-oriented game in 95 and 96

George, Verdusco)

Jason Dulick"

coach 12/17/96
"I like Jason Dulick. He's a tough guy....He's the kind
of receiver you can do everything with. He'll block downfield, he'll cover
KO's, he'll cover punts and he'll make the tough catch. I like this guy."

vs. USC, 9/7/96

the poorly thrown ball. Will block. Good special teams player."

to his) long strides, people don't realize how fast he is."

game-saving tackles,he's a tremendous athlete.

as Henry Jones"

of his great size and speed."

area has ever seen."(Steve Schnur then QB'd Northwestern to the Rose Bowl).

"..catch after catch, in double coverage, and with leaps
and stretches, taking hit after vicious hit, Dulick might be the best pure
