1977: Texas 13, Oklahoma 6
Randy McEachern, a junior who spent last year as a spotter in the press box for a Texas radio station, came onto the Cotton Bowl field early in the second period after the first two Texas quarterbacks were knocked out with injuries. When the game was over, his jubilant teammates carried him off the field after he helped engineer a stunning victory over Oklahoma, ending the Sooners’ six-year domination of the Red River Rivalry. In the game, Russell Erxleben connected on a 64-yard field gold, third longest in NCAA history, in the second quarter.
