Watch all-time cowboy great Bob Fenimore. Here's a brief bio:
Bob Fenimore excelled on the offensive side of the ball, the defensive side of the ball, and in special teams play. His exceptional talent and play earned the "Blond Bomber" All-America honors in 1944 and 1945. The leader of OSU teams that went 8-1 with a Cotton Bowl victory in 1944 and a perfect 9-0 with a Sugar Bowl win in 1945, Fenimore's play was legendary. From his halfback position he established himself as one of the nation's finest players. The numbers speak for themselves. In 1944 he led the nation in total offense (1,758 yards), was third in rushing (899), eighth in passing (997), ninth in scoring (77), and 13th in punting (37.3). In OSU?s undefeated 1945 season he was the national leader in both total offense (1641) and rushing (1119), while ranking seventh in punting (39.0) and 13th in scoring (72). His 18 interceptions during his OSU career are still a school record and his 4,627 career yards of total offense has been eclipsed only by Mike Gundy (7,749). Fenimore was a first round draft choice of the Chicago Bears in 1947.
