Got my vote 🗳, woody Hayes & Barry Switzer wishbone offense & Billy Sims 1970s college 🏈

Keith Was Mr. College Football! The Best Ever! RIP. Sir!

That game was wild. I was born 1975. I never knew how great the games were in the 70s. Built tougher in the 60,s 70s 80s.

Damn, The Sooners had Elvis Peacock, Kenny King, Billy Sims and David Overstreet. These backs that deep and had crazy names too..lol. All these guys had productive NFL careers. I still cannot recall to this day any team had the depth Oklahoma had at the running back position. Plus another Running QB in Thomas Lott. Wow, Switzerland best team really. Heck, what about Nebraska running backs I.M. Hipp and Jarvis Redwine? The 70s had best names in college football.

When asked what he thought of such an exciting game, Hayes replied, "To hell with exciting! I'd rather be drab as hell and win!"

I remember all these oldies of OU Sooner Football. Steve Davis . My favorite player .. but he's Dead and Gone now because of the plane accident he had in Illinois also with others. Rest in Piece Steve Davis .

Damn, I saw this game on TV as kid in east coast. Elvis Peacock, Billy Sims, Kenny King. Thomas Lott? Serious Sooners squad.

Next to the last season in the Woody Hayes era. No doubt this game was a test to his anger management which would cause his demise a little more than a year later. This year they would later lose to their rival Michigan 14-6 and were pummeled in the Sugar Bowl by Alabama 35-6. I think that was the game Woody punched a cameraman. Uwe Von Schamann went on to play for the Miami Dolphins for six seasons. His last game was in their Super Bowl loss to the 49ers. Ron Springs fared decently with the Dallas Cowboys.

Was at this game, September of 1977, freshman at OSU. The wind gusted so strong, the good year blimp left the stadium area. Very physical game, took a lot out of both teams that season. Bucks season opener that year was a 10 to zero win over miami of florida.

Tom played for my high football team in 1975 and 1976 (Lewiston Porter) and played both ways. He was awarded for being the best football player in Western In 1976.

Yeah…everyone watching should really take a close look at that, maybe starting just a couple seconds earlier than your time stamp. Just watch. This guy…this coach…Woody Hayes…WASN’T a great coach…or even a good man. He. Was. A. Prick. To wit: the following year at the ‘78 Gator Bowl against Clemson “Woody Hayes grabbed the back of Clemson player Charlie Bauman’s jersey, wound up and punched him in the chest, just below the neck. Bauman looked over at the Old Man like he might have looked at a poodle nipping at his pants. Bauman was in full pads and a helmet; Hayes was in a windbreaker and a black cap, flailing at him. Bauman didn’t strike back. He didn’t even push Hayes away. He just retreated toward his teammates on the field as Hayes kept grabbing at him. Clemson players ran over to the sideline; Ohio State players scuffled with them. One of Woody’s captains, Byron Cato, pulled him away.” Class act indeed.

The running teams won more national titles in the 70's than the "balanced" teams. bear Bryant went from passing to running the wishbone and beat USC in LA too. The Huskers ran over 80% of the time all the way until Osborne retired. People only remember Miami beating the running teams in the 80's. One of Jimmy Johnson's assistants said the reason they did so well against the option teams was cause Jimmy was a former d line coach at OU and knew all of the line calls and tendencies.
