The Gophers won another national title and went to two Rose Bowls in the early ?60s under coach Murray Warmath and quarterback Sandy Stephens, who became the first black quarterback to earn All-America honors at a major college. Warmath remembers the second Rose Bowl as his most memorable game. Other memorable Gophers featured include future NFL legends Bud Grant and Carl Eller and future NFL coaching great Tony Dungy.
