Emmet Augustus "Duke" Carlisle III is a former American football player who started as a quarterback and defensive back for the Texas Longhorns in the early 1960s.
[1] At Athens, he played quarterback and led his high school to three consecutive district titles, as well as the state quarterfinals in his junior year.
[3] During his sophomore season in 1961, Carlisle was the starting safety and also saw some playing time as the third-string quarterback behind Mike Cotten and Tommy Wade.
He was then replaced by Genung who led the Longhorns down to the 3 yard line before handing the ball to running back Tommy Ford for the win.
Against Baylor, in the only game (and only series) in which he played safety during his senior year, he had a game-saving end-zone interception to preserve a 7-0 win.
After Wade drove Texas to the 2-yard line and nearly threw the ball away, Carlisle came back in and scored the game-winning touchdown with a little more than a minute left.
Carlisle saved his best game for last against #2 Navy in the 1964 Cotton Bowl, played only six weeks after John F. Kennedy's assassination a few miles away.
[5] After a stint from 1969 to 1973 as an investment banker with Merrill Lynch in New York City and then Dallas, Carlisle joined his father-in-law in the oil business in McComb, Mississippi.
