1968... ahh, 50 years ago. A lot of changes came that season.
First season of the the new Wishbone Offense. Memorial Stadium was a grass field then, next season the Horns played on Astroturf. I believe the West side upper deck was started late 1968 and was completed in time for the 1969 season opener vs. Navy.
In 1968 the Horns finished the season 8-1-1 and pounded Tenn. in the Cotton Bowl 36-13. Bill Bradley started the season at QB and James Street took over in game 3 vs. Tech in the 3rd qtr. and after that game leading the Horns to 20 straight wins.
