Spotlight: Homecoming '06

Garfio

Try to keep your eye on running back Alex Garfio of Ventura, a senior sociology major who's the Aggies' leading rusher this season. He'll be zigging and zagging across the field during the Oct. 21 Homecoming game against Southern Utah at Toomey Field. Game time is 1:05 p.m. (Wayne Tilcock, Davis Enterprise)
