Davey O'Brien led the TCU Horned Frogs football team to an undefeated season and the national championship in 1938. That year, the 5' 7" 150-pounder, known in the newspapers as "Lil' Davey," completed 110 of 194 passes for 1,733 yards and 19 touchdowns. Davey O'Brien was named to thirteen All-American teams and became the first college football player to win the Heisman Trophy, Maxwell Award and Walter Camp Award in the same year. He set the all-time college record for most rushing and passing plays in one season - 400 - and became the first Heisman winner to emerge from the Southwest Conference. Davey O'Brien's college career reached its culmination on January 2, 1939, with a brilliant 15-7 Sugar Bowl victory over Carnegie Tech, in which O'Brien kicked a field goal and threw a touchdown pass. The Davey O'Brien Award, given annually to the best quarterback in collegiate football, is named for him.
