In 1985, Troy Aikman was named starting quarterback for Barry Switzer’s new passing attack and led the Oklahoma to a 3-0 start. In the fourth game, Aikman broke his ankle when he was sacked by Miami’s Jerome Brown. With Aikman out for the season, Switzer went back to the wishbone with Jamelle Holieway and the Sooners went on to win the national championship that season. Aikman transferred to UCLA. And after sitting out in 1986, he led the Bruins to back-to-back 10-win seasons.
