OU vs Texas
Classic Games:
October 11th, 1958- Former OU quarterback, and new Texas head coach, Darrell Royal, leads his Longhorn team into the Cotton Bowl against the Powerhouse Oklahoma Sooners. The Sooners had won the last 6 OU-TX games, and were destroying all other opponents in their path. The Longhorns however would play tough, and beat the Sooners 15-14. This started an eight game Texas win streak in the series.
October 9th, 1976- Oklahoma Head Coach, Barry Switzer, and Texas Head Coach, Darrell Royal, are in the midst of a serious feud. Switzer claims that Royal has been spying on his practices, and Royal strongly objected. President Gerald Ford attends the game, and meets with both coaches at the same time. Switzer and Royal speak with President Ford, but refuse to acknowledge each other. Switzer was 3-0 against Texas since arriving at OU, but the game would end up in a 6-6 tie. This would be Darrell Royal’s final Red River Rivalry.
October 8th, 1994 “The Stone Cold Stop”- The Lognhorns hold a 7 point lead with seconds remaining, but the Sooners are driving the ball. On 4th down, the Sooners have the ball on the Texas 1 yard line, and enough time on the clock for one last play. The Sooners hand the ball off to running back, James Allen, but he is stuffed at the Goal Line by UT defensive lineman, Stoney Clark, to end the game, and secure a UT victory.
October 6th, 2001 “Roy Williams, and the Play”- OU Leads 7-3 in the 4th quarter, and both defenses have been playing lights out. Texas has the ball on their own 3 yard line, after Nathan Vasher muffs a pooch kick deep in his own territory. With two minutes left in the 4th quarter, Texas lines up to begin their drive. Texas quarterback, Chris Simms, takes the snap and as he releases the ball, he is hit by OU Safety, Roy Williams, who has timed the snap and leapt over the UT offensive line. Simms pass is wobbly and weak, and lands directly in the hands of OU linebacker, Teddy Lehman who walks into the endzone to put the Sooners up 14-3 after an OU extra point. This play is also referred to as “The Superman Play”, because of Roy Williams leap over the line.
