Stabauch is correct. 55 years ago. Good job. Pretty easy one.

Let's toughen it up, then...ARMY also had a great qb at the time, though not as good as Roger, obviously...what was HIS name???

Yeah, it was Rollie Stichweh (I had to look it up). Very good QB in his own right. I'm too young to remember him but the highlight film I've seen he looked pretty good. The years before the Super Bowl era, the Army/Navy game was the most anticipated football game of the year....college or pro.

 

[spartanhusker]

He was amazing!!! But in Staubach shadow.... And yes it was ALWAYS a great game!

Pete Carpenter?

Correct.
1961 Orange Bowl 21-14..Bellino was held to just 4 yards rushing.

Joe was not a very big back, but very muscular and thick legs! Great attitude as I remember!

 

[spartanhusker]

Kind of odd that I remember this stuff...young kid at the time, parents totally asports, not yet a Husker fan(until 62)......and yet I remember watching the Staubach/Stichweh game...had to have been nine or ten....
