Roger Staubach at the Naval Academy Roger Staubach was born in Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1942 and attended the United States Naval Academy. He emerged as an outstanding quarterback at a time when the position was generally played within more restrictive systems. Staubach could deliver accurately from the pocket, run when space appeared and improvise when a planned play broke down. His 1963 season became one of the most celebrated in Navy football history. Staubach completed 106 of 161 passes for 1,474 yards and guided the Midshipmen to nine victories from ten regular-season games. Navy rose to second in the national rankings and earned a Cotton Bowl meeting with top-ranked Texas. Staubach received consensus All-American recognition, the Maxwell Award and the Walter Camp Memorial Trophy. He also won the Heisman Trophy, becoming only the second Navy player to collect college football’s most prestigious individual award. Although Texas won the Cotton Bowl, Staubach established competition records by completing 21 of 31 passes for 228 yards. He remains the most recent service-academy player to win the Heisman, giving his achievement a lasting place within college football history. Four Years of Naval Service Dallas selected Staubach in the tenth round of the 1964 draft, but his professional career could not begin immediately. His Naval Academy education carried a service commitment, and Staubach completed four years of active duty before joining the Cowboys. His service included a period in Vietnam as a Supply Corps officer at Chu Lai, where he supervised enlisted personnel. He subsequently served aboard a ship and continued with the Navy Reserve long after entering professional football, eventually reaching the rank of captain. Staubach was 27 when he finally joined Dallas in 1969. The delayed beginning left him with less time to establish a professional career, but the experience and leadership gained during his naval service became important qualities within the Cowboys team. Taking Control of the Cowboys During his early Dallas seasons, Staubach competed with Craig Morton for the starting position. Head coach Tom Landry experimented with using both quarterbacks, occasionally alternating them during the same game. Staubach eventually secured the leading role during the 1971 campaign. Dallas then completed ten consecutive victories with Staubach starting, including the postseason. He led the league in passer rating and received the Bert Bell Award as Player of the Year. Victories over Minnesota and San Francisco sent the Cowboys into Super Bowl VI against Miami. Staubach completed 12 of 19 passes, threw two touchdowns and added important rushing yards as Dallas won 24–3. He received the game’s Most Valuable Player award, while the Cowboys celebrated the first championship in franchise history. The victory transformed Dallas from a regular contender that had repeatedly fallen short into a championship-winning team. Staubach’s calm leadership and ability to produce in crucial moments made him the central figure in that development. Captain America and Captain Comeback Staubach became widely known as “Captain America”, reflecting his Naval Academy background, military service and leadership. His performances during the closing stages of games produced another memorable nickname: “Captain Comeback”. He directed 23 fourth-quarter comeback victories, including 14 achieved during the final two minutes or overtime. Even when Dallas trailed and the situation appeared increasingly difficult, Staubach retained the ability to escape pressure, find an open receiver and extend the contest. The most celebrated example occurred during a 1975 playoff game against Minnesota. Dallas needed a touchdown during the closing seconds when Staubach threw a deep pass towards Drew Pearson. The receiver completed the catch and scored from 50 yards, giving the Cowboys a dramatic victory. Staubach later said he had closed his eyes and said a Hail Mary before releasing the pass. His description helped introduce the phrase into American football vocabulary, where it continues to describe a desperate long pass attempted near the end of a game. Dalla
