An 89-year-old WWII veteran ran for a touchdown Saturday during a Kansas University alumni flag football game that brought back memories of his heyday at the school during the 1946-1948 seasons.

Bryan Sperry, whose career highlight includes a clutch catch during the 1948 Orange Bowl, managed to evade tackles during the last play of the game at the school’s Memorial Stadium, after his number -- 28 -- was called for the last play, The Lawrence Journal-World reported.

Sperry, who enrolled in the school after serving in the Army during WWII’s Battle of the Bulge, pulled in a shuffle pass around midfield and let his guards do their job.

The play was slow to unfold but Sperry -- and his blockers -- could not help but smile as he weaved in and out of players pretending to be crashing and falling into each other.
