I heard about this from a Southeastern La Univ student who did the sports column, I grad from there and we became good friends. He told me the first TD scored was by a former SLU student. I didn't believe him at first but it's true. His name is William Doughty Andrews Jr.

He scored his only NFL touchdown in the first Monday Night Football game televised by ABC on September 21, 1970. Late in the fourth quarter, he intercepted Joe Namath and returned it 25 yards for a touchdown to secure the Browns' 31-21 victory.

He now lives in Bluff Creek, Louisiana, a small community outside of Clinton.
