Bio
In 1969, an all-time Pacific Coast team was named. One member was Southern California's Morley Drury, a smart and resourceful quarterback who helped coach Howard Jones in leading USC during the Roaring Twenties. Drury's finest season came in 1927 as the senior captain employed his skillful passing and rushing to carry the Trojans to an 8-1-1 record. Southern Cal shared the Pacific Coast title with Stanford, battling the Cardinal to a 13-13 deadlock. The only smudge on the Trojan record was a mid-season loss to powerful Notre Dame, 7-6. Drury led the team in scoring (76 points) and rushing (1163 yards) and won consensus All-America honors. His 1163 yards rushing stood as a Southern Cal record until Mike Garrett eclipsed the mark with 1440 yards during the 1965 campaign. During Drury's three varsity seasons, the Trojans were 27-5-1. In college he won letters in football, basketball, baseball, and water polo. His nickname was "The Noblest Trojan of Them All."
