What is the greatest play in the history of National Football League’s Cincinnati Bengals? According to the Cincinnati Enquirer, it was the 93-yard kickoff return by Furman alum and trustee Stanford Jennings ’84 in Super Bowl XXIII. The newspaper talked with Jennings about his famous 93-yard sprint against the San Francisco 49ers in what was truly a Furman story. Jennings’ daughter, Kelsey ’11, was born the day before the Super Bowl and the Bengals head coach at the time was Sam Wyche ’66.
