"architect" of the infamous 1990 5th down game, dies at age 84. Had battled dementia for years. Ironic that he was a Mizzou grad and former player.

Here's a photo of McCartney with the other starting DBs and LBs on the 1960 team that would go on to win the Big 8 title and beat Navy in the Orange Bowl. McCartney is the on the far left, first row. He was a LB.
