Army’s Mr. Inside, Doc Blanchard, dies at 84
BULVERDE, Texas (AP) — Felix “Doc” Blanchard, the 1945 Heisman Trophy winner
and Army’s Mr. Inside in one of college football’s most famous backfields, has
died. He was 84.
Blanchard’s daughter, Mary Blanchard, told The Associated Press late Sunday
night in a phone interview that her father died of pneumonia at home earlier in
the day.
The bruising Blanchard and Glenn Davis, aka Mr. Outside, helped Army win
consecutive national titles in 1944-45. The year after Blanchard won the
Heisman Trophy, Davis won it and Army went undefeated again.
