Dino Philyaw interview: 90s Runningback Fueled Rose Bowl Run (1993-94)

+

Remember Dino Philyaw? Part of the backfield tandem of the 1994 Rose Bowl team alongside Ricky Whittle, Dino came to Eugene by way of North Carolina after playing minor league baseball. He also ran track at Oregon, and went on to spend several years in the NFL with the Patriots, Saints, and Panthers. Of course who could forget his two TDs vs. Oregon State in 1994, which sent the Ducks to the Rose Bowl. Today he runs a catering company in Eugene, Philyaw's Cookout, and his BBQ sauce is available in stores around Oregon. I was lucky enough to sit down with him and hear his story in his own words, pretty interesting to hear the inside stories of the 1993 and 1994 Oregon football teams.
