LINCOLN Ryker Fyfe and Sam Foltz know each other pretty well. <\/p>\n

Definitely the slant, Foltz said when asked about his favorite play Thursday at the Shrine Bowl Media Day at Nebraska Wesleyan University. Its hard to defend the slant. <\/p>\n
Fyfe had a different favorite. <\/p>\n

The 6-foot-5 Fyfe finished the year as one of the top passers in Class A, completing 120-of-204 passes for 1,921 yards and 20 touchdowns. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n
