My mistake. Jerry Rhome was the 3rd youngest. Walsh or Aikman 4th and 5th.

I can't read my own notes.

Hmmmm...how about Dandy Don?

 

[Hostile]

Maybe ..

Sweeney (strike year)
Wright
Stoerner

Sweeney is right there with Walsh and Aikman. I need to look up birthdays to break ties.

I have done it for #1 and #2. Not the rest.

 

[Hostile]

Hmmmm...how about Dandy Don?

Bingo.

In 1960 he started on November 6. He was 22 years 6 months and 27 days old.

Yes, one of the most famous college games and the "greatest game ever played" were both at Old Yankee Stadium as well as fights like Louis/Schmeling.

I guess it was too easy for you.

BTW, 2nd youngest QB was Craig Morton. He started a game on October 10, 1965. he was 22 years, 8 months and 5 days old.

9 days older than Dandy Don was.

Meredith is also the youngest to win a game for Dallas. 10/8/1961.

Oh no. That was purely a guess. I knew the 58 game was at Yankee Stadium, but not the Gipper game.

Notre Dame really developed their following by playing away games in major cities rather than their opponent's homefields. They'd play Army in NYC instead of West Point or Penn State in Philly to capitalize on the large Irish and Italian Catholics populations.

Proof I was guessing. I did not know that even. I thought the Gipper game was a Bowl game in NYC.

An interesting part of that game was that the winning TD was scored by Jack Chevigny, the only University of Texas coach with a losing record for his career, who was killed on Iwo Jima.
