Charley Conerly Remembered as Greatest Passer on Gridiron
Rick Bryan reflects on Charley Conerly after a long career spanning 1934 to 1961. He recalls Conerly's 1947 Ole Miss season, 133 completions, and a famed connection with Barney Poole, painting him as the era’s standout passer despite boos and tough teams. Conerly later led Ole Miss to a Delta Bowl win and pursued coaching and ownership roles.
