Induction Year: 2010

The 1968 football team was among one of the most successful teams to ever grace the campus of McMurry University.

The team competed in the Lone Star Conference and carried a league record of 5-2.

Nine players from Fornes' team went on to earn all-LSC honors including Gordon Hubenak, Tally Windham, John Bentley and Stanley Moore who were first-team honorees. Freeman Lamkin, Richard Puckett, Ray Findley, Steve Bowman and Robert Rivera were all second-team honorees.

Four players earned all-America recognition highlighted by Windham who was honored both by the AP Little all-America team and the NAIA. Chester Dougherty, Moore and Hubenak were all named NAIA all-Americans as well.

Known for their running game, this McMurry team set the school record for most carries in a season with 556. Puckett stands among the all-time on McMurry's career passing list through the 2009 season with 3,385 yards, Matt Chalmers finished his career with 1,545 receiving yards and Archie Smith carried the ball for 2,564 career yards.
