Yelberton Abraham (Y.A.) Tittle Jr. was born on October 24, 1926, in Marshall, Texas. As is customary in Texas, both Y.A. and his brother, Jack, were hooked on football at a young age. Both boys gravitated toward the quarterback position and would practice for hours. Jack Tittle was a talented signal-caller at Marshall High School and would receive...
By the time Tittle was graduating from high school, he’d already attracted interest from several local universities. Although he lived in Texas and was pressured by the local populace to attend a Texas school, Tittle really liked LSU. Before committing to LSU, Tittle visited the University of Texas and verbally agreed to become a Longhorn. In fact,...
At the time of Tittle’s college enrollment in 1944, World War II was still raging. Typically, freshmen students were not allowed to suit up for varsity sports, but the war effort required bodies. Since a large number of college-age men were serving in the military, rosters needed to be filled with freshmen athletes. As a result, Tittle saw playing ...
Before the 1945 season, Moore switched to the T formation, and Tittle had even more opportunities to pass the ball. The Tigers improved that year, netting seven wins. As a junior in 1946, Tittle was named All-SEC as he led the Tigers to a 9-1-1 record. During a game against Tulane at the end of November, Tittle had three touchdown passes that led t...
Tittle’s senior year in 1947 was marked by LSU regressing to 5-3-1. However, Tittle performed well for the Tigers yet again and was named All-SEC for the second year in a row. During a game against Ole Miss, Tittle was playing on defense when he intercepted a pass from Rebels’ quarterback Charley Conerly. As he started racing for the end zone, a sl...
While attending LSU, Tittle passed for numerous program records including attempts (162), completions (330), yards (2,525), and touchdowns (23). He also rushed for seven more scores. All his records would eventually be broken as the forward pass became more prevalent in football. During the 1948 NFL Draft, Tittle was selected with the sixth overall...
Because the Colts closed its doors, Tittle had the distinction of being re-drafted in the 1951 NFL Draft. This time, he was selected by the San Francisco 49ers. Frankie Albert was already with the club as its quarterback, and Tittle started only one game in 1951. In 1952, both quarterbacks split time, and Tittle had 1,407 yards, 11 touchdowns, and ...
Before the 1954 season, the 49ers acquired three notable players to add to their offensive backfield. John Henry Johnson and Joe Perry, both fullbacks, joined the team as did halfback Hugh McElhenny. Along with Tittle, the group became known as the “Million Dollar Backfield.” The four would comprise the only full backfield in NFL history where ever...
Even without Johnson, the 1957 Niners played well and reeled in eight victories. During the season, Tittle and receiver R.C. Owens developed a play where the quarterback would throw high to Owens (who stood 6’3”). Since the receiver usually towered over his defenders, Owens could catch the ball with little effort. Tittle called the play the “alley-...
In 1958, Tittle started six games and passed for 1,467 yards, nine touchdowns, and 15 interceptions. He split time with 1957 first-round pick John Brodie, although the Niners’ fan base preferred Tittle. Albert was replaced after the 1958 season by Red Hickey, and Tittle started 10 games in 1959. After passing for 1,331 yards, 10 touchdowns, and 15 ...
