Joe Kapp, who played quarterback at Cal and later led the Minnesota Vikings to the Super Bowl, died Monday at age 85.
J.J. Kapp confirmed his father's death to the San Francisco Chronicle, saying it came following a "15-year battle with dementia."
Raised in California, Kapp played both football and basketball at Cal. On the field, the All-American led the Golden Bears to the Pacific Coast Conference championship in 1958 and onto the Rose Bowl. The Bears lost to Iowa in the 1959 game -- the last appearance in the Rose Bowl for Cal.
