The Untold Story Behind Don Botelho’s Legendary Athletic Career and Mysterious Passing at 93
After graduation from Roosevelt High School, Botelho served in the U,S. Coast Guard before enrolling at UH. He was one of the 28 Rainbows football players who flew to Lincoln, Neb., and pulled off what many still consider among the greatest upsets in college football history: a 6-0 road victory over the Huskers, on Sept. 17, 1955, 10 months after Nebraska beat UH, 50-0, at Honolulu Stadium.
As part of that team, Botelho was inducted into the UH Sports Circle of Honor in 2000.
“I didn’t start that game (at Nebraska), but quarterbacks kept getting hurt. So I end up in the game at halfback, a sophomore,” Botelho said in a 2009 Honolulu Star-Bulletin interview.
