So good to get back on a Horns football topic! My in person off the top of my head & not in order:
Jan. 1, 1970 Cotton Bowl - a very cold day: #1 UT vs ND. 4th qtr. Minutes left. Horns 4th down and 8 on ND 10 yard line down 17-14. I was breathless as Street hit Spreyer for a key 8.1 yard low nail biting pass for a 1st down. Billy Dale goes on to score on the next play so the Horns go up 21-17 and win the game & NC.
Dec. 2004 Rose Bowl: UT vs. Mich. Horns trail late. VY engineers a drive to Wolverine 19. Key Dusty Mangum FG barely clears but beats Michigan 38-37.
Oct. 1977 vs. ou. Key play: Earl takes a hand-off from McEachern heads to the left side, gets a key block from TE Steve Hall, hurdles an ou DB and scores an exlererating 24 yard TD. Horns go on to win 13-6. Exerleben had a huge day kicking and punting. A day I saw grown Horn fans men weep with joy after beating the sorry bastard sooners.
Oct. 2004 Horns vs. Okie Lite. Horns get down 7-35 but Vince rallies them to win 56-35. Key play Vince TD pass to Scaife before the half cutting pokes lead to 35-14. Horns D gives up 0 points the 2nd half.
Oct. 2018 vs. ou, Horns grind out a 21 point lead in the 4th but ou ties it late 35-35. Sam engineers a long drive and Dicker the kicker nails a key & clutch FG to win it 38-35 with no time left... IIRC.
