FORT WORTH, Texas -- To commemorate the 80th anniversary of quarterback Davey O'Brien winning the Heisman Trophy and the Horned Frogs capturing the 1938 national championship, TCU will celebrate Davey Day at its Sept. 1 season opener versus Southern. Kickoff is at 11 a.m. in Amon G. Carter Stadium.
The TCU football team will wear a sticker on its helmet honoring O'Brien, in addition to a field marking for him. Davey O'Brien Jr., his son, will be TCU's honorary captain. Replica O'Brien No. 8 jerseys and t-shirts will be sold. During its pregame show, the TCU band will form a No. 8 on the field. At the Amon G. Carter Stadium concession stands, Ben's Pretzels will produce a No. 8-shaped pretzel for sale.
O'Brien's Heisman Trophy and the Davey O'Brien National Quarterback Award trophy will be on display for pregame photo opportunities in Frog Alley, before moving to the stadium concourse during the game. Video tributes to O'Brien will be played throughout the day, while the game program will feature O'Brien on the cover.
On game day, a floral arrangement will be placed at O'Brien's statue in front of the Ed and Rae Schollmaier Arena.
