In 1938, former TCU quarterback Davey O’Brien won the Heisman trophy and the Frogs won the National Championship. 78 years later, he was honored with a statue outside of Schollmaier Arena, along with Dutch Meyer and Gary Patterson. In just over a month, he will celebrated once again, this time, during the Frogs’ home opener on September 1st.
Commemorating the 80th anniversary of O’Brien’s Heisman Moment and the Frogs’ National Championship, Davey Day will be celebrating before, during, and after TCU’s 11:00am matchup with Southern, kicking off the 2018 campaign. The TCU football team will wear a sticker on their helmet honoring O’Brien, and the field will have a special paint job as well.
