1970 A&M 20 LSU 18Dave Elmendorf had one interception and recovered two fumbles in that 1970 huge upset of LSU. Otherwise a terrible season for us and was essentially the end for Coach Stallings.
Dave was the only football player I ever saw studying in the library. And he was there essentially every evening I was there which was often.
Dave was an All-Star in several different ways during his stay in Aggieland. He was very smart and made excellent grades. One of the football coaches told me he was easily the best player in the Fish class. He also excelled in varsity sports making All-American teams at A&M in both football and baseball and played several years as a safety in the NFL. Easily one of the best two sport stars we have ever had in Aggieland.
Our sophomore class was easily the best class of recruits in the SWC. Maybe one of our best classes ever. Lex James (Houston) #1 rated QB recruit in Texas; Brad Dusek (Temple) was #2. Coach Stallings was an incredible recruiter, but definitely not a player's coach. His record shows it.
