Received this photo & note from a reader:

I was at the Iowa Barnstormer game in Des Moines Sat night and Maurice Purify was tearing up the place with one great catch after another. ... He was wearing a Nebraska lumbar spine pad, exposed, during the game. The Hawkeye and Cyclone fans were giving him the business about it but he sure backed it up with stellar play. He is nearly unstoppable in arena football. If they cover close he goes deep, if they give him room he moves the chains. And, they can’t tackle him.
