Legendary Oklahoma Sooners QB Steve Davis was one of two people killed in a plane crash on March 17. He was 60.

There were a total of four people total on the plane, Yahoo! Sports reports. The pilot reported electrical power problems on the plane as he attempted to touch down in Indiana. The plane actually did land on the runway at South Bend Regional Airport before going back up into the air and crashing into three nearby homes.

Steve Davis was the starting quarterback for the Oklahoma Sooners in the mid 1970s. With Davis at the helm, the Sooners won the National Championship in 1974 and 1975. During his career in Norman, Davis and the Sooners were 32-1-1.

Davis was MVP of the 1976 Orange Bowl, which gave the Sooners the 1975 national championship, the fifth for the program. As the starting quarterback, Davis was 32-1-1, holding OU's record for career wins by a starting quarterback until Landry Jones broke the record this season.

edit: Here is a highlight of Davis in that 1976 Orange Bowl. The clip is mislabeled 1975

This is a local story for me. The plane came down not far from where I used to work. I just found out the identity of the two victims this afternoon.

Here are some of our local newspaper's links to the ongoing story:
