Chuck Shea!  That's not a name you hear a lot in Stanford Football.   I figured we might have to go all the way back to Ernie Nevers ....

I looked up Shea's stats - 840 yards rushing but somehow 0 rushing touchdowns.  Wow, different game.  Shea did get one receiving TD.  Stanford was coached by Chuck Taylor and went 6-4 that year.

Chuck Shea, 1957, Stanford, PCC
RB / 10 games / 163 carries / 840 yards rushing / 5.2 yards/attempt / 0 touchdowns / 84.0 yards/game

I don't think that's accurate. Stanford didn't have a rushing touchdown all year that year? 1957 Stanford Cardinal Stats | College Football at Sports-Reference.com. Stanford scored 227 points that year, on 11 passing TDs and 0 rushing TDs? I think Shea rushed for two TDs against Cal alone...he scored both TDs in a 14-12 win.

He scored two TDs against Washington: https://www.nytimes.com/1957/10/20/archi...-game.html
