I was a 5 year old youngster in 1968 when my parents and I made a trip to Norman for the spring game. I was approached by an older gentleman after getting my football and shirt signed by Bob Warmack. My dad had the most shocked look on his face while I was talking to this nice man. I asked him if he enjoyed OU football as much as I he replied yes I do son I was a player long before you were thought of. Just out of kindness I asked for his autograph. When on the way home dad asked me if I got his autograph and I replied yes sir. Dad knew who it was but asked me to tell him who it was. It was none other than Jay O'Neal who was QB on the 55 56 national championship team. I still have his claude Arnold's buddy burris Jerry Tubbs leon Heath and Eddie Crowders autographs. My most treasured possessions that is in a glass frame in my den. Thought I would share this

Oklahoma would go to AstroTurf (actually PolyTurf) a couple of years later.

I always somehow had it in my head that the last play FG attempt by Kremser was from 51 yards out. It wasn't and now seeing how makeable that kick was is agonizing all these years later. I was 9 years old watching this game - parents let me stay up late that night. We lived in Knoxville and my dad was a UT grad and always had season tickets. When for some reason one or both parents missed a game, I was able to go. I saw some classic football games in Neyland through those years. So many modern fans think of Tennessee's glory days as the 90's, which they were great. But the Vols have several glorious eras in their history, this late 60's / early 70's period being just one of them.

I was wondering if you had the Rose Bowl which aired immediately ahead of this game on NBC (I know it's on film on KZbin, but I wanted to see if the video was around). Also, which Bowl game preceded the Rose Bowl since it was noted here the Orange Bowl was the last game of a tripleheader?
@robertperry83923 жыл бұрын
Well the Cotton Bowl and the Sugar bowl were the other two bowl games played on that day. I looked it up the Cotton Bowl was on CBS that year and the Sugar Bowl was on NBC, so the other game in the triple header was the Sugar Bowl.

Notice how low those dlineman got for Oklahoma. Really beutiful
@bobbymarks22592 жыл бұрын
That's because OF lineman in that era could not extend their hands. Keeping their hands at their chest, they drove the D linemen & LB's backwards by taking their legs out from under them. The cage drill taught this technique.....

An optical illusion due to the lighting and TV cameras of the day. The plastic helmets merely reflected light differently from the jerseys. Look at film of an OU day game back then. OU always wore crimson jerseys.
