Let's make this birthday one to remember.

79 years old (Born on August 05, 1945)

Happy Birthday, Gary Beban! You dazzled us all back in 1967 when you snagged both the Heisman Trophy and Maxwell Award—proving once and for all that UCLA quarterbacks don't just throw touchdowns; they collect trophies too. Your legendary plays on the field still echo through Bruin history, reminding everyone why you're forever known as "The Great One."

Even though it's been a few decades since your iconic runs electrified college football stadiums, your legacy remains timelessly awesome. Here's hoping this birthday brings you more joy than outrunning USC defenders ever did—and that's saying something!

Cheers to another fantastic year ahead!
