A triple-threat on the field as a quarterback, middle linebacker and kicker made him invaluable to the Holy Cross Tigers in the 1965 and 1966 seasons. He has often been described as “the ultimate competitor”. With “Butch” leading the way, two of the largest crowds to ever turn out for prep football in the city, witnessed the Tigers defeating the Blue Jays by scores of 14-0 and 20-7 respectively. Unusual for a quarterback, Butch’s motto was “run first; throw if you have to”. His college career at LSU and his life were cut short by his untimely death due to a brain aneurysm. Former LSU head coach Charles McClendon had called Duhe one of the top quarterbacks he ever had. Teammates and opponents of Butch Duhe’ attest to his strength, leadership and character. His legacy lives on at Holy Cross, where each football season the student-athlete who best embodies those ideals is honored with the “Butch Duhe’ Award.”
