Steve grew up in an area that is reputed to be pretty rough: East New York section of Brooklyn. Wasn’t highly touted but somehow they found him up there. Turned out to be much better than two of the more highly RBs we took that year: Tekay Dorsey and especially Ellery Roberts.
A friend of mine, a former UM player of decades ago, said McGuire was “faster than he looks.”
He excelled in the Dennis Erickson one back offense.
I still remember that play against Boston College that ended his career. Really a shame. Never got a chance to try to make it in the pros.
