The questions were:

Who was the last QB from OU to throw a TD pass in the NFL ranks?
Answer: none

Who was the last QB from the University of Texas to throw a TD pass in the NFL ranks?
Answer: Bobby Layne

Who was the last QB from TCU to throw a TD pass in the NFL ranks?
Answer: Sammy Baugh

Who was the last QB from SMU to throw a TD pass in the NFL ranks?
Answer: Don Meredith

Therefore, SMU can boast that it has the most recent QB to throw a TD in the NFL ranks!


No, Hammond was not a QB at St. Louis/Arizona, but that was not the question. See above. Hammond was a QB from SMU who threw a TD pass in the NFL ranks.

You are correct, Caballo! Perhaps the question should be phrased "Who was the last QB from (fill in the school) who threw a TD as a QB in the NFL?"

Player throwing passes that day for SMU was Lance McIIhenny, another HP grad.

Prior meeting was in ’48, players throwing passes that day were Bobby Lane and Doak Walker, again HP grads.
SoCal_Pony: The UT QB that day was HP product Rob Moerschell (HP, '81).

So the answer would be that both SMU and UT had former Highland Park High standouts throwing passes that day...? However, Doak was not a QB.
