66 Days Until Kickoff: Who Was The Best No. 66?

[Blake Munroe]

We’re 66 days away from Texas football.

Today’s group is a strong one up front with Harley Sewell, Doug Dawson, Herb Gray and Calvin Anderson.

Sewell is the headliner as a two-time consensus All-American, Cotton Bowl MVP, College Football Hall of Famer and four-time NFL Pro Bowler. Dawson was a consensus All-American and captain of the 1983 team, while Gray was a consensus All-American, All-SWC tackle and SWC Defensive MVP. Anderson gave Texas a big one-year boost in 2018, starting every game at left tackle for a Sugar Bowl-winning team.

Wasn't Calvin the transfer in from Rice?  I remember thinking, oh boy, we're taking guys from Rice?!  And then I happily ate my words.  What a great young man and football player!

I remember watching Dawson when I was young, tough dude.  That said, based on accomplishments, Harley really does set the standard for #66 IMHO.  HookEm!

I thought the same thing about Anderson when we picked him up.

Had it not been for him our OL would have been pretty bad.

Yall aren’t alone. I know my expectations for him were low coming in. 

Pretty sure he surprised everyone with how well he did.

When my son redshirted at Rice in season 2017, he had to scrimmage against Anderson. My son was middle LB and they had him at DE in scrimmage for lack of bodies.

My son is extremely positive person but he didn't like the way Anderson would hit his throat several times in practice.

No one on this years team wears 67, 66, 65 or 64.

That's crazy.  We need some dawgs with bad intentions to don the mid-60s!
