Sir Creep 7,070 Posted June 30, 2015 Two-way player Dick Kirk, who had one of the most memorable touchdown runs in school history, died last Tuesday at his home in Fort Lauderdale. He was 72. A three-year letterwinner (1963-65), Kirk will always have a place in UF lore thanks to his 42-yard touchdown run at Alabama in 1963 that sparked the Gators’ to a 10-6 upset win over the heavily favored Tide and quarterback Joe Namath. I should win something for finding a Dick that went both ways. SC http://m.gatorsports.com/article/20150614/articles/150619841 Couldn't find the video of said run on YouTube.
