Press clippings come in abundant supply for quarterbacks, but for offensive linemen, individual recognition is a rare occurrence...unless the lineman's name is Jerry Sisemore. A consensus All-American throughout his college career at Texas, Sisemore possessed great balance, coordination and agility to dominate defenders at the point of attack and downfield. He was so quick off the ball opponents insisted he was offsides. In his final Classic performance in 1973, Sisemore literally bowled over Alabama, helping Texas pile up 317 rushing yards and earn a 17-13 victory.
