Jade Butcher passed
- Thread starter Euro
- Start date
One of the best Clutch Receivers to ever play the game...
30 TDs in 30 reg season games. Held Big 10 record till Anthony Carter broke it but took him 44 games
A true IU football legend. Seems to have led a pretty quiet life after IU.
Now the B in the BIG offense is gone. Only Harry is left.
Right, Butcher, Isenbarger, & Gonso represented the BIG for Indiana. Hard to believe two are gone now.
Worked for the University then retired living in Elletsville
Butcher as a phenomenal receiver in an era of running the ball. 30 TD catches in 30 games was unheard of back then and he made it look easy. Before we know it, every member of that team will die and we will only have secondhand memories of IU's Rose Bowl team.
Always have debated myself with this Q.
Was that RB team overachievers, just well coached or simply underrated? They sure exploded on the scene from the year before.

While Jade Harry and John got the majority of the plaudits and well they should have, truth be known we won with defense

In kind of a weird, 1968 Rose Bowl coincidence, OJ Simpson died today.
Just to add to that, He caught 116 passes in his career for 30 TDs, meaning that He scored a touchdown every 4th reception. oddly. His TD receptions were evenly distributed. Ten each Year of his 3 Year Career.
Phenomenal considering we only threw the ball about 15 times a game
