RIP: Coach Darrell K Royal

College football lost one of the all-time greats on Wednesday, when Darrell Royal, former head coach at Mississippi State, Washington, and most famously Texas passed away at the age of 88. He led the Longhorns to three National Championships, and introduced the wishbone to college football, riding it to a 30 game win streak in the late 60s.
