Who is the guy next to #54 in the photo?

I think that's #49 Marty Brecht, Sooner linebacker.

 

[HornSwoggler]

OUCH!!!! Crotch blocked.

 

[HornSwoggler]

mchammer, if you are talking about the Texas lineman, my guess is that it is #50 Bill Wyman playing center. Herbert was an OG. Another possibility is #57 Bob Tresch.

#53 Bill Acker DT 1975 - 1979

#62 Charlie Tanner OG protecting Colt's backside... 2008

#52 Forrest Wiegand (OL 1967-69) had a terrific view of the game-winning touchdown in the Game of the Century. Here are two photos capturing that moment.

I searched for images of #52 Joe Galiga (OL 1963), and this came up. It'll do.

Recycling a photo previously posted for #55 Stonie Clark, this time to feature #52 Jim Bob Evans, who is on the short list of all-time-great Longhorn names.

#51 LB Bruce Scholtz (1978) zeroing in on Billy Sims.

Seems like yesterday when the count was started. Now, we are halfway there. Media days are soon upon us, then fall practice.

I ran a search for photos of #51 Stan Thomas, Longhorn OT from 1986 to 1990. I found this photo, but it was in a Barking Carnival article about 2015 recruit Garrett Thomas. Plus, the photo quality seems too good to be that old, and I don't think we played anyone with that uniform color while Stan was a Horn. So, is this #51 Mike Garcia at the Rose Bowl?

In any event, here is a photo of the real Stan Thomas, fixing QB Peter Gardere's shoulder pad in 1989.

That can't be anyone from the USC game. We didn't have numbers above the decal back then. That is Donald Hawkins against Iowa State.

 

[NJlonghorn]

Thanks for the ID. Here's another photo of Hawkins from that game:

NJLonghorn,
My guess is that the team in maroon/yellow gold is Iowa St. they have the double stripe on shoulder while USC does not based on a very quick not-thorough search. USC has a single wide stripe.

 

[NJlonghorn]

Half way there -- just 50 days 'til kickoff!!!

Here's current #50 Jake Raulerson, pictured against Kansas last year.

 

[NJlonghorn]

And from 1963, #50 David McWilliams
