Remembering Kelvin Bryant, Steve Streater and 1981 ECU Game

Posted Sep 19, 2014
Dick Crum said there was no official effort before the opener to dedicate the game to Steve Streater or otherwise recognize him, and Kelvin Bryant says his gestures were ones that simply struck him in the warmth of the moment. “I saw Steve in the end zone and I just took him the football,” Bryant remembers. “I gave him the ball and he spiked it and had a big smile on his face.” (UNC Lettermen)
