TTT Answer

The Tiger football team has retired the jerseys of six former players (the most recent last season). Three of those players were teammates for one season. This week’s question is a three-parter:

• Who were the three teammates?
• What season did they play together?
• What was the Tigers’ record that season?

Running back Dave Casinelli (#30), offensive lineman Harry Schuh (#79), and linebacker John Bramlett (#64) played together for the 1962 Tigers under coach Spook Murphy. Those Tigers went 8-1, outscoring their opponents 261-67. The Tigers’ only loss that season came in September to an Ole Miss team ranked third in the country.
