68 Days Until Kickoff: Who Was The Best No. 68?

[Blake Munroe]

We’re 68 days away from Texas football, and today’s group has a good mix of old-school and more recent Longhorns.

Derek Kerstetter was a steady, versatile piece up front with 58 games played, 49 starts and experience at guard, tackle and center. Larry Stephens helped Texas win the 1959 SWC title before becoming a second-round NFL Draft pick. Ken Hackemack also belongs in the mix as a four-year letterman who was drafted by the Chiefs.

No one on the Texas roster currently wears 68 (65-68 actually).

Hackemack no doubt.

You're right. I need to fix that. 1989 was 5-6, 4-4.

In 1966 I was in Law School and lived downstairs in a two story duplex located on the area now occupied by the LBJ School.  Frank Ryan's sister, a grad student, lived upstairs.  By that coincidence I met Frank Ryan.  He was both the Cleveland Browns QB and an adjunct math prof at Rice in the Spring.

This is the same Larry Stephens the Browns traded to LA for Ryan, who went on to win an NFL title next to Jim Brown with Cleveland.

I looked up Stephens because I had never heard of him before this morning.
