It didn't take long for Favre to establish himself, not only as a fan favorite, but a respected leader umong his teammates as well. "Brett is our leader...He brings a lot of poise to the huddle. He calms us down." -Chafan Marsh, 1990 USM 27, Alabama 24 The victory over Alabama was emotional for many reasons. During the summer of 1990, Brett suffered internal injuries in a serious auto accident. So serious was the accident that 30 inches of his intestines were surgically removed. Just one month later undergoing the surgery, Brett lead Southern Miss to another stunning victory over Alabama. The #4 jersey at Southern Miss was retired in September of 1993. Brett Favre was inducted into the Legends Club in April of 1997. |
