Any alumni here go back to the football days late 50

Had an Uber driver this morning who struck up a conversation with me.  His dad was a quarterback for Marquette around the time the program was cut.  His father transferred then to the west coast to finish playing at San Diego State.  Said he pop was only 5'9" but considered a very good high school and junior college QB.  Unable to find a roster.  Anyone with an idea?

Yikes.  If I'm reading this correctly, in 9 games we threw 5 TD passes and 22 interceptions. No wonder we cut football!

Best part was seeing George Andrie listed as a receiver.

Ended up a Dallas Cowboy and played in the Ice Bowl against the Green Bay Packers on December 31, 1967. He was a defensive back in the pros.

Glow jr. had a roommate his freshman year whose grandfather played on the last Marquette football team.

Actually a defensive end. Once returned a recovered fumble for a TD in a Super Bowl (not the Ice Bowl one).

Ditto . 
George Andrie (a MU athletics hall of famer) , is ranked 31 on all time top 50 best Cowboys. Andrie, was a starting defensive end for the Cowboys for 10 seasons. While he might not have garnered the same attention as a Bob Lilly or Lee Roy Jordan, Andrie led  the Cowboys in sacks for four straight seasons from 1964-67, recording double-digit sacks each year in that span. Along with Lilly and Jethro Pugh, Andrie helped form the original "Doomsday Defense." Andrie still has the third-most sacks in a season with 18 1/2;, recorded in 1966. Andrie made the Pro Bowl five straight years from 1965-69, one of just 22 Cowboys players to make at least five Pro Bowls. Andrie was named the top lineman of the 1970 Pro Bowl. One of Andrie's most memorable plays occurred in the 1967 NFL Championship Game against Green Bay, simply known as the "Ice Bowl." Andrie returned a fumble for a touchdown, giving the Cowboys' their first points of the game, which turned out to be a 21-17 win for the Packers, who advanced to Super Bowl II.

BTW the theory as to how Andrie ended up with the Cowboys , although overlooked by most , .....was that the Cowboy player personnel director was Gil Brandt, .....who was born and raised in Milwaukee and was a Wisconsin alumnus, ....so they selected Andrie in the sixth round (82nd overall) of the 1962 NFL draft as a defensive end

Not sure where you got your stats but the NFL didn't officially keep track of sacks until 1982. There are estimates out there (i.e. Deacon Jones had over 20 a couple of times) but nothing official.

Not official NFL stats....but sacks actually occurred even before they were an NFL Stat. Heck I saw Bill Russell block a shot even before the NBA recorded block shots. In the days of film and typewriters some still tracked records.
Here ....the Cowboys franchise kept these records and Andrie is still fifth on the franchise's  all time sacks list...not NFL official...but adequately reliable

MU students made a documentary about George a couple of years ago. Received a Chicago/Midwest Emmy nomination in the student category.

Friend of my father's,  judge Wendt, i believe, when he found out i was going to MU  told me he played football there. There was a plaque in the old gym that had his  name on it with the footballs from each game. MU WAS UNDEFEATED THAT YEAR and,  if i remember correctly, cloberred the domers

My Brother and I made a just guys getaway to Waco and the Texas Sports Hall of Fame.

We had a cool MU moment on seeing the game ball from the first Cotton Bowl....January 1, 1937.

It showed the MU Golden Avalanche lost 16-6 to the TCU Horned Frogs

TCU's star QB was Slinging Sammy Baugh, a Tx Sports Hall of Fame Icon, and Charter Inductee to the Pro Football Hall of Fame in Canton....

But...still just seeing the MU on the Cotton Bowl ball made me happy and proud

[Dr. Blackheart]

Karl Kassulke was on that roster too...two Pro Bowlers and Super Bowl starters on the same MU roster. SKOL
