Dead at 64 from cancer.
He was a 2 time All-American and 1979 Heisman winner for USC (still all-time leading rusher) and played for the Browns and Rams.
I mostly remember him in the 1976 Missouri season opener at the LA Coliseum. It was a challenge, to be sure, but Mizzou’s Curtis Brown was better that night, leading the Tigers to an upset win, the first of many for Onofrio’s crew that year. SBNation ranks the 46-25 win as #1 on the top MU upsets list.
