During the first half-hour of today's Sports Huddle, Dave Mona announced the death of former Gopher linebacker Bill Light. Light's obituary is in today's Star-Tribune, he was 66. He succumbed to cancer. He is survived by his wife and (I believe) three children.
Bill Light, according to Dave Mona, still holds some records related to tackling (along with Peter Najarian). Bill played for the Gophers, 1969-71. His senior year he served as the team's captain, and he was selected to the Conference's first team defense. Light was a hard hitting linebacker with sure tackling abilities.
RIP Bill Light!
Go Gophers!!
