This is the QB that got me into college football. He went 4 years and graduated.
"In 1960, his senior season, Tarkenton was the captain of the Georgia squad, led the conference in total offense and in passing, and was named an All-American. He was also selected as an Academic All-American, reflecting a strong performance in the classroom to match his athletic achievements."
He also spoke in Commerce (20 miles from Athens) to a group of young men gathered from local churches. At a downtown restaurant. A motivational speech. I was 10. 1960.
Things were different
For winning the Natty give every Dawg a bone AND prime rib steak.
