Great photo of the 1945 Undefeated National Champions, one of the greatest and most famous college teams in history. Signed by 1945 Heisman Trophy winner Doc Blanchard, and by Glen Davis and other 9 starters. Blanchard, known as "Mister Inside" for his runs up the middle, was this squad's fullback. Davis, a halfback known as "Mister Outside" for his speed around end, was awarded the Heisman Trophy the next season, 1946. 11 signatures; some are faded and tough to read. This team was a powerhouse. In their last three games they defeated number 2 ranked Notre Dame 48-0, number 6 ranked Penn 61-0, and number 2 ranked Navy 32-13. Davis and Blanchard were so famous at this time that in November of 1945 they shared the cover of Time MagazinePSA/DNA. Framed 15x16.5".
