Oklahoma Sooners Highlights of the 80's

[@thedarkchild86]

I'm a HUGE Sooner fan ... they made me love running the football .. I miss the wish bone offense ....

[@pooks16200017]

Please bring back some of those BEAUTIFUL run options! I know we have to cater to the specialties of the QB but these run plays on here are magnificent and could bring a whole dimension to the team. God bless the wishbone! Yes ed, but wasn't it beautiful?

[@1RastaWarrior]

Troy Aikman didn't hate it at OU. He broke his ankle against Miami and was replaced by Jamelle Holleway who led OU to a national title. Aikman transferred because he couldn't reclaim his job from Holleway.

[@Bigfishfun333]

When a future hall of Superbowl and fame QB loses his job to a FRESHMAN that freshman is practically a god.

[@georgedyer2680]

The wish bone was a sight to behold. Saw them called a running play on a 3rd and about 20. They made it.

[@coff2x]

OU simply the best

[@Sooner74112]

Unreal how fast those teams were. Switzer realized years before a lot of coaches and speed and quickness would win games, Sims, Tillman, Stafford, Collins, Hollieway, Thompson, fullback Lydell Carr outrunning the entire Penn State defense. Amazing!

[@miked4377]

i was 15 in 1985...never saw the wishbone till i watched the sooners and jamele....fucking awesome!!!they were the best! still love the wishbone and option wish more teams used it as good as jamele did....

[@antoniohoward981]

Miami Hurricanes ended the wishbone

[@Bigfishfun333]

I'm holding my breath until Venables re-implements the Wishbone! Wish me luck.

[@Head318Hunter]

The pitch at 2:10 so sweet

[@JohnnyBehave1]

Loved watching the Sooners run the 'bone to perfection in the '80's. #CFB

[@rowdyrob06]

yea i just wish NFL films and all the networks would just put em on KZbin lol. cause hes my favorite player of all time!

[@Bigfishfun333]

Sir Barry's high-powered cherry-red four-on the floor wishbone of the 80's!

[@Bigfishfun333]

"The 80's" = 1986 and 1987 only. :-) But hey, those were the BEST years so no need to show any other years anyway. Great video. Boomer Sooner!

[@cedriclovesaaron]

i could watch that wishbone all day long!

[@huskerjeff1]

Love it!

[@cinnaminson0653]

2:10 was crazy

[@smoothoperator7023]

The 80's were good, but give me Thomas Lott, billy sims, kenny king, elvis peacock & david overstreet any day of the week!!!!!

[@iwinzeazy]

I thought it was just me😎

[@trainman42dude]

Lucious, Dewey, Lee Roy, Jimbo, Tinker, Horace, Uwe, Tony D, Little Joe, and king of the wishbone Steve. Dominant D and a track team in the backfield. Those were the days my friend!!

[@smoothoperator7023]

I still wear a bandana in 2022 bc of Thomas Lott.

[@LarryRickenbacker]

i like the play at 4:28, where a FULLBACK outruns basically the entire Penn. State defense to the endzone! I miss the Wishbone Triple Option.

[@antoniohoward981]

Miami Hurricanes ended the wishbone

[@LarryRickenbacker]

@@antoniohoward981 Nonsense. Air Force slam-dunked a strong Short Horns team in Houston only weeks after this game was played. I've seen lowly Rice beat Texas with the 'bone. Rules changes and a hostile press were the death of the 'bone.

[@antoniohoward981]

@@LarryRickenbacker bull shit. Miami shut that weak ass wishbone out forever. And we shut nebraska weak ass wishbone out to

[@quincee33]

Was J.C. Watts late 70's?

[@ramonski82]

can you imagine a no huddle version of the 'bone? talk about mismatches

[@soonervrod]

Patrick Collins was so good.

[@sweeptech27]

Uh, that was Charles Thompson. He started after Holieway was injured.

[@nwabox]

great vid of sooners wishbone!!!

[@OU52Sooners]

Wishbone baby!! Nobody runs it anymore, its sad actually

[@antoniohoward981]

Miami Hurricanes ended the wishbone

[@Bigfishfun333]

You don't get those long 30+ yard runs w/out great downfield blocking. Barry's boys BLOCKED!

[@cozadboi88]

nice

[@Bigfishfun333]

Awesome video. At 0:47 he gets on his knees and thanks his invisible all-powerful friend who lives in the sky for helping him defeat the other team....but said invisible friend steadfastly REFUSES to give us the cure for coronavirus, so obviously said invisible friend is a complete dick, who doesn't love us.

[@rowdyrob06]

yea the song couldve been better, but no matter. so why no highlights of the Boz?? u should put together a highlight video of him, because for being probably the best college football linebacker of all time, he doesnt really have any videos on youtube! and its killin me!! haha so please please post one!

[@sooners2win]

Danger zone would have been a great song with the vid

[@Fattious]

And Rotnei Anderson to finish it off.

[@elvisfan22]

@mbshanks1 Sam Bradford- Heisman Winner, First round #1 pick in NFL draft, best rookie in the pros. Born in Oklahoma City not Texas. Jason White, 2003 Heisman winner, Born in Tuttle, Ok not Texas. I think Oklahoma is holding it's own perfectly well with producing good players.

[@hichcoc]

@wideawakeinotown I agree totally..wow!!

[@CEOFIRST]

These are all highlights of the offense, zero of the defense. It only shows Bosworth talking to the camera at 1:52 of the film...

[@rjohnson993]

Remember when U of Houston got two Hiesman winners by going run-and-shoot or even zero RBs and spreading the ball out b/c teams were made to stop the run more often back then? What if the reverse happened and you got a physical team to run the triple option again and they would just chew up the clock and be a mismatch vs all these defenses made to stop the spread with 5-6 DBs and lighter LBs where you run at him or can option it?

[@frankmilitary]

Nice defense, Arkansas!! 2:20

[@Bigfishfun333]

On the Read Triple Option, whatever move the defender decides to take, the quarterback makes it the WRONG move!

[@Bigfishfun333]

I don't worship Jesus anymore - I worship Jamelle. Walking on water(?) - nah, running the 'bone to perfection is more of a miracle. At 2:10 you can see his holiness (Holiewayness) at his best.

[@quincee33]

You don't like Stoops and Winning?

[@smoothoperator7023]

OU still relevant in 2022, what's Nebraska been up to?🌽

[@ljuan5000]

Put it on mute and you'll like the highlights better

[@cainepittman2]

@neoconretard Just like joe PA said football will change again look at bama and lsu there power running teams Nebraska went back to the option this year. Eventully some team will start back winning with the wishbone and im a miami fan

[@iou432]

number 33 patrick collins is my cousin

[@mbshanks1]

Bozworth from Irving Texas,ou couldn't win crap with out Texas players! (55) on the roster.

[@twisted-_-outside8019]

Our high school runs it but our players aren't nearly as good as these guys

[@mbshanks1]

ou would never win any thing with out 55, Texas players on their roster.that why we call it university of texas at norman.Oyea you left one out Troy Aikman hated it at ou and went to ucla to set all kind of records.

[@2scoopsofpoop]

Yeah. Hated it. Because he was injured and couldn’t get his job back after the backup took us to the natty. :rolleyes:

[@antoniohoward981]

When u can't when ur job back he ran

[@ab9957]

a sign that you're paying espn way too much---how many more talking heads do you need sitting at the roundtable? now that espn owns college football, we are worse off.

[@egokilla732]

heres my reason the triple option is exctinct ITS GAY weres all the marcus dupree higlights
