Noble Webster Doss (May 22, 1920 – February 15, 2009) was an American professional football player who was a halfback for the Philadelphia Eagles of the National Football League (NFL) and the New York Yankees of the All-America Football Conference (AAFC). He played college football for the Texas Longhorns.[1][2][3][4]
The Impossible catch
[edit | edit source]On November 28, 1940 during the annual Texas-Texas A&M game at Memorial stadium, Doss caught an over the head pass on the 3rd play of the game that set up a 1 yard rushing touchdown by Pete Layden on the next play. Deemed the "impossible catch" by fans due to the length of the pass and nature of the catch; the drive was the only scoring drive of the game. The 7-0 victory over the Aggies prevented them from back-to-back National Championship seasons and knocked them out of a Rose bowl appearance.[5]
