This was the very first sporting event that I had ever watched in my life when I was 7 years old. I got introduced to sports by this game.

Though Oklahoma's style has changed offensively, you could make a strong argument that this lineup of Sims, Wilson, Overstreet, & Watts is their most talented backfield ever.

Thank you for posting. I was 13 - and this game was the first time I was made aware of this team I'd never heard of (they never got ABC coverage)... Florida St. Over the decades they became a name everybody knew.

I remember this game clear as day I was a 13 year old kid ....JC Watts ran the option cut up field as he was falling down inches from the ground he pitched the ball back to the great Billy Sims and he ran it in high-stepping 22 yard for a touchdown . that blew my mind I had never seen anything like that since then or now

Man, I love the wishbone! Even with all the fumbles, it was the most exciting era of Sooner football!! I wish (no pun intended) that we still ran it occasional just to make things interesting. Although we have had some great QB’s recently, Kyler Murray is the only one who would have been a successful wishbone QB. And I love how animated the officials used to be. Very demonstrative in their gestures.

Holy crap Ron Simmons! Aka Farook! DAMN!

I was 12 yrs old in 7th grade. I still haven't collected on the $10 bet I made with a classmate. He was so sure Florida State was going to win...but I knew my Sooners!

Thank you.

I was too devastated to watch this game. USC 17 TOSU 16 ROSE BOWL was right before this game.

Pretty sure this is the same head official that does the 93/94 orange bowl. He personally threw the flag on the phantom clip on Cory Dixon‘s pot return for a touchdown. I knew Cory a little bit in College.. he was a super nice guy, his dream is to return a punt for a touchdown in a big game. He did it. And they steal it away from him on what has been basically proven to be a blown call.

Great game !! Thanks for the footage!! BOOMER!!!! Any fans of WWE ? Anyone remember Ron Simmons??

[@DIYDaveOK]

I had forgotten OU fumbled the ball away inside the ten three times!! Game should have been more like 38-7.

[@jesselopez7850]

Awesome!

[@johnparks9986]

Miss that Oklahoma "Wishbone". You knew what was coming but you couldn't stop it. Also, Florida State needs to go back to those unis.
