When Sean Norton, on the first play of the second half, connected with Marlon Moore on a 75-yard touchdown play, Tom Brandstater morphed into Jeff Grady, the last Fresno State quarterback to lose his job.

Grady was the starting QB entering the 2002 season after David Carr graduated. But an early-season injury opened the door for a guy named Paul Pinegar. Grady wasn't heard from again until becoming a student-assistant coach last season.
