Johnny U. threw a TD pass in 47 straight games, a record that still stands.

.....and in all 47 games, he wore black high top shoes!

Hard to believe, given all the rule changes favoring offenses over the last decade (especially passing offenses). I think Rivers had a good one going, but it broke a few games ago.

Without looking it up, where did Johnny U. play his college football?

UL, the real one.

I'm old enough that I remember seeing Johnny U. playing pro ball but I had no memory of his college. I was in Louisville in the past summer going to the Louisville Slugger museum and factory. During my stay in Louisville I saw a reference to his time at UL.

Yep, me too.

I thought they were combat boots with cleats on the bottom.

Yeppers! The Louisville Cardinals. As I recall, he walked on at UL (the real one) cuz no one wanted him. Talk about recruiting not being an exact science. The entire college football world missed the greatest QB of all time!

They were, that's a good description of ole school football cleats
