[Herky] Dave Long

[Larry Edwards]

Yes, 1965 was the year. The opponent was North Carolina State in the last game of the year.

I have a hazy recollection watching him picking up a fumble and running through half the opposing team for a td. It was the only bright spot on a day there the Hawks were getting their lunch handed to them. 

Was that the Jerry Burns last year which started with high expectations (Playboy#1 preseason) and ended up winning just 1-2 games? 

Go Hawks!

This from Hawk Talk Daily: 
IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Fifty years after playing his final University of Iowa football game, Dave Long was presented his "I" Ring on May 12 at the Carroll Area I-Club. An emotional Long, who played defensive end and tight end, received his well-deserved ring from UI head coach Kirk Ferentz. 
Dave played while I was in school. One of the funniest things I ever saw at a football game was when Long was knocked silly during a play, got up staggered around and cold cocked with a right to the jaw of the first thing moving he saw—an official! He was so out of it that I don’t think he was even punished. The official got up and seemed to be all right. 
It was hilarious. 
Dave Long was one tough customer.
