Tommy Harmon and Tommy Lucas both played for great coaches and understand the profound depth of Billy Grahams quote .

Tommy Lucas says about playing in the early 60’s “There were 96 in the team picture of my freshman year of 1959, and not all of them were scholarship players! There were no NCAA scholarship limits in those days, so a college could give as many as their athletic department could afford. Most schools gave what was called a partial scholarship…. The scout team was made up mostly of these kinds of players, and they practiced on a different field away from the top 3 varsity teams. Of the 96 in the freshman class football picture, there were only 13 of us left my senior year of 1962. Many of the 96 individuals were grade casualties, or they transferred to another school because of not getting to play.” From Tommy’s freshman class Royal started building a winning tradition that produced three national championships. Tommy shares his story in the Que.
