Robert Fulton Newhouse (January 9, 1950 – July 22, 2014) was a professional football player, a fullback for twelve seasons with the Dallas Cowboys in the National Football League. He played college football at the University of Houston. ==Early years== Though Newhouse had rushing performances of over 200 and 300 yards, he wasn't highly recruited coming out of Galilee High School in Hallsville, Texas, with the only Division I (NCAA) scholarship being offered by the University of Houston. He became part of a very successful stretch for the University of Houston from 1969 to 1971. In 1969, the team finished 9–2 and ranked #12 in the AP Poll. In 1970, the team finished 8–3 and ranked 19th. In 1971, the team finished 9–3 and ranked 17th. Before his senior season started, he suffered a cracked pelvis in a serious automobile accident, because at the time the redshirt option didn't exist, he went on to play with the injury. He was a tri-captain of the 1971 team, along with Gary Mullins and Frank Ditta. His 1,757 rushing yards were the second most yards in a season in NCAA history and the most in school history at the time. He received second-team All-American honors by the Associated Press at the end of the year. Newhouse had a remarkable college career, finishing as the University of Houston all-time leading rusher and breaking many of the school's records, some of which still stand today: * Most rushing yards in a season (1757 in 1971) * Most 100 yard games in a season (10 in 1971) * Most 100 yard games in a career (16) * Most consecutive 100 yard games in a season (7 in 1971) * Most consecutive 100 yard games in a career (8) * Most 200 yard games in a season (3 in 1971, tied with Anthony Alridge and Paul Gipson) * Most 200 yard games in a career (4, tied with Anthony Alridge and Paul Gipson). Back when the College All-Stars played the Super Bowl Champion from the year before, Newhouse scored a touchdown against the Dallas Cowboys. He also played in the Hula Bowl. In 1977 he was inducted into the University of Houston Athletics Hall of Honor. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Robert Newhouse」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
