Jack Mildren, Oklahoma wishbone genius qb, died on Thursday at the age of 58. In addition to being one of the savviest wishbone qbs ever to fake, run, and then pull up for an option pass, Mildren also served as the lieutenant governor of Oklahoma, worked as the vice-chairman of a local bank, and maintained a spot doing talk radio in Oklahoma. (You haven't even answered all your emails today, have you?)
See the footage below for a taste of Mildren's brilliant captaincy of the 'bone against a hapless Oklahoma State team, a clue of the reads and on-field brainbrawn that got Oklahoma 472.4 yards rushing per game in 1971, a standing record in the NCAA's books.
R.I.P, Jack.
