The Redskins frequently played preseason games at FF in the 60's so my guess is HOFer Sonny Jurgenson.

Bingo!
Sonny Jurgensen QB Duke/Eagles/Redskins

11-6-54 Duke vs Navy 40-7 (OB)
10-20-56 Duke vs Pittsburgh 27-14 (OB)
8-7-60 Eagles vs Redskins 24-6 (Kiwanis Classic)
9-5-64 Redskins vs St. Louis 17-10 (KC)
9-4-65 Redskins vs Colts 33-23 (KC)
8-20-66 Redskins vs Bears 24-10 (KC)
9-9-67 Redskins vs Steelers 16-10 (KC)
9-7-68 Redskins vs Steelers 24-17 (KC)

Most people forget that Sonny went to Duke, a frequent OB participant and was an Eagle before being traded to Washington for Norm Snead.

There's a reason why this poster's username is Monarch History. This poster has probably forgotten more Old Dominion history than any of us will ever know in our lifetimes. As a matter of fact, you can probably still find a couple of books in the ODU book store this poster has co-authored about....Monarch History.

I hope his pencil is sharp because some great Monarch history is being made even as we make posts to this forum. From football to field hockey, these are exciting times for Monarch athletics, and I hope he is able to capture every minute of it.
