1999 Sammy Baugh

TCU's Slingin' Sammy Baugh proved just how lethal his passing arm could be in the inaugural Cotton Bowl Classic of 1937. The celebrated quarterback, who as a professional would revolutionize the passing game, orchestrated scoring drives of 40, 78 and 62 yards in a 16-6 victory over Marquette. The game's key play came late in the first quarter when Baugh went deep for L.D. Meyer and connected on a 55-yard scoring play that propelled the Frogs to a 10-6 lead. A true pioneer of the game, Baugh was honored as a charter member of both the College Football Hall of Fame in 1951 and the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1963.
