Boyd Brumbaugh
Urban Boyd Brumbaugh (August 24, 1915 – April 5, 1988) was a professional football player in the National Football League for the Brooklyn Dodgers and the Pittsburgh Pirates (who were later renamed the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1941).
College football.
Prior to his professional career, he played college football at Duquesne University from 1935 to 1937, where he received All-American honors. In 1936, he led the Dukes to a 7-0 victory over the Pittsburgh Panthers. It would be Pitts
on a touchdown run to give the Maroons a 6-0 lead in the first quarter. Boyd Brumbaugh gave the Dukes a lead in the second quarter on his touchdown run, but Pee Wee Armstrong's pass to Fred Walters for a 40-yard touchdown made it 12-7 at halftime. Brumbaugh threw a 72-yard touchdown pass in the fourth quarter that proved to be the margin of victory as the Maroons' two missed extra points doomed the team.
Aftermath.
The Maroons returned to the Orange Bowl four years later.
