Bob “Horse” Reynolds was one of Stanford’s “Vow Boys,” so-called because they vowed as freshmen never to lose again to USC. They kept that vow, and five of them became All-Americans, including Reynolds, who is the only player ever to have played all 60 minutes in three consecutive Rose Bowl Games.

After the 1936 Game, when Stanford beat SMU 7–0, a Los Angeles Times sportswriter observed, “It is questionable if there is a better tackle in this country than Bob Reynolds was against the Mustangs.”

Reynolds died in 1994.
