    Joe Steffy, who helped pave the way for Heisman trophy winners Doc Blanchard and Glenn Davis on some of Army's best teams and won the Outland Trophy as the nation's top lineman in 1947, has died. He was 85.

    Army announced that Steffy died at St. Luke's-Cornwall Hospital's Newburgh campus on Saturday. He had dealt with heart problems in recent years.

    Steffy played both offense and defense on Army's 1945 and 1946 undefeated teams under coach Earl "Red" Blaik. Steffy was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame in 1987.
