Born: 12-4-54, St. Paul High School.<br />
AT UTAH: When Utah opens the season the Ute quarterback will be<br />
Pat Degnan. The battle for the quarterback slot was intense during<br />
spring between Degnan, Warner and Hageman. After practice was over,<br />
however, it was clear that Degnan was the man for the job. Pat gives<br />
Utah a balanced look at quarterback. He is a good runner and excellent<br />
passer which will help keep opposition defenses <strong>of</strong>f balance. Pat has<br />
become a team leader who has been able to pull the <strong>of</strong>fense together into<br />
a cohesive unit.<br />
