The 1946 Presbyterian Blue Hose football team was an American football team that represented Presbyterian College as a member of the South Carolina Little Four during the 1946 college football season. In their sixth season under head coach Lonnie McMillian, the Blue Hose compiled a 7–2 record (3–0 against Little Four teams), won the Little Four championship, and outscored opponents by a total of 154 to 99. After losing the first two games of the season, Presbyterian won seven consecutive games to close the season. [1] [2]
Presbyterian's senior quarterback Hank Caver received first-team honors on the 1946 Little All-America college football team. [3] Caver ranked second among small-college players with 790 passing yards (though he also led the country with 13 passes intercepted). [4] He led a T-formation offense that was nicknamed "Operation Moon." [5]
Three Presbyterian players received honors from the Associated Press on the 1946 All-South Carolina team: Caver on the first team; back Herbert Rollins on the second team; and end Dick Kaleel on the third team. [2]
The team played its home games at the original Bailey Stadium in Clinton, South Carolina.
