This resolution formally recognizes the 1960 University of Missouri Tigers Football Team for their exceptional season, which included an undefeated 10-0 regular season and a 21-14 victory over the United States Naval Academy in the 1961 Orange Bowl. Led by legendary head coach Dan Devine, the team also secured the 1960 Big Eight Conference Championship and finished among the top teams nationally. The Tigers' defense was particularly dominant, allowing only 59 points throughout the entire season, and the team recorded significant victories against nationally respected opponents. Key players, including consensus All-American Danny LaRose, contributed to their success. The resolution honors the players, coaches, staff, students, and supporters for their dedication and acknowledges the team's lasting place in college football history and their claim to the 1960 National Championship.
