70 Days Until Kickoff: Who’s Your Favorite No. 70?

Featured Replies

  • Moderators

No. 70 has been worn by some outstanding offensive linemen in Texas history.

Scott Appleton headlines the list after winning the 1963 Outland Trophy and helping lead the Longhorns to a national championship. Leonard Davis became a consensus All-American before being selected No. 2 overall in the 2001 NFL Draft. More recently, Christian Jones started 48 games and was a key piece of Texas’ return to the College Football Playoff.

Current No. 70: Kaden Scherer.

I would include John Elliot also, 1964 - 1966. One of the Texas guys who joined Joe Namath in NY to win SBIII.  All 4 Texas Exes have passed now.

John Elliot

George Sauer, Jr. 

Jim Hudson

Pete Lammons

🤘🏻🤘🏼🤘🤘🏽🤘🏾🤘🏿

Bob Simmons was a pretty good #70! 
A 3x first team All-SWC and a two time All-American; drafted in 1976 draft and played seven or eight years in the NFL. 

I am old so Scott Appleton for me. Will never forget him taking down Staubach for huge loss in Cotton Bowl. Won a Natty.

I was actually going to include him but I couldn’t find a good picture. It’s the first time someone has been left off due to that.

Anytime my wife is involved… we are always late. lol

I know that same feeling lol my wife will be late to her own funeral lol 😂 

😂 now that I think about it, this is my most favorite time of the year. It's the only time or setting I have to be cordial to Cowboy fans and when I learn Arch is overrated, Arch is a nepo-baby, and the Texas hype is unwarranted. Ah yes,(you know what goes here... hint it's four letters and starts with F) December, this is the most exciting time of the year🤘🏿
