Bryan Sperry, who played football at Kansas from 1946 to 1948 after serving in World War II, probably though his touchdown-scoring days were over.
But some phenomenal "blocking" saw the 89-year-old cross the goal line in the team's alumni game Saturday.
"I had a lot of fun after I convinced them that I could play," Sperry told reporters after the game.
