Yes! ALS Is More Common Now Days It Seems! I Remember A Lot Of These Players From Those Days.

Love the pretty girls. No Kool-Aid hair, no tattoos, no nose rings, just beauty.

Good old fashioned slobber knockin’ OU football! And with one of the best backs to ever play the game especially in the Wishbone! The Sooners wishbone was the best of the bunch!!

OU was 5 for 10 passing for 99 yards in this game, which was probably above average for one of our 1970s teams. I can remember some games when we just lined up play after play and said "here comes the option, try to stop it if you can."

Sims was already 23 years old for this game while a junior. Herschel Walker was 20 years old when he concluded his football career at Georgia.

I was a kid growing up in North Carolina but was a huge Sooner fan. This game was not televised in North Carolina. Instead they chose to televise a VA tech game . I was furious.

You would have gotten the conclusion of TX-OU after the Hokies finished, much like NFL games get joined as other games finish. Imagine getting only ONE college game on a fall Saturday, brought to you by Kodak and the Bell System.

Big day on ABC. Keith Jackson flew to New York to do Game 4 of the Yankees and Royals ALCS which the Yankees clinched the series. In between Keith Jackson's 2 games, the Dodgers finished off the NLCS by winning the pennant in Game 4 vs the Phillies. And over on NBC later in the evening, Season 4 of Saturday Night Live began with the guests the Rolling Stones. This was the night they met their current drummer Steve Jordan. All on October 7, 1978.

Loved watching this Oklahoma team. One of the best teams that did not win a NC.

Note the Execution of the Lineman from the end zone camera @1:19 replay. You got a Pulling Left guard. He crosses the butts of the Lineman blocking down. Both backs leading The Way.......Beautiful.

Texas didn't block Reggie Kinlaw the entire game. No wonder they couldn't run. Couldn't handle that man.

Man I loved watching the OKLAHOMA WISHBONE. Thomas Lott and Billy Sims. Kenny king finally got his shoot with raiders after blocking for Billy Sims and then earl Campbell with the oilers. Won two super bowl rings with the RAIDERS.

Exactly. Years before being hyped up ie Joe Buck doing both a LCS Playoff/WS Game and NFL game on the same day, if close enough, Keith quietly as soon as this game ended flys a charter from Dallas to I assume LGA in NYC to do that same night’s Yankee/Royals playoff. And I heard Drydale and Howard doing the first 1 inning or so before Keith takes over.

Even the white dudes got afros. Them Oklahoma cats, back then, was fiyah!

Ha. The good ol days where the defense has "7 guys (in the box) that run 4.7 or better. They have too much speed!" Too funny..

Interesting seeing the contrasting styles of run offense with UT and OU, especially when considering that 10 years prior, UT's head coach, Darrell Royal, brought the Wishbone offense to national prominence for the Longhorns. Yet, here in 1978 we are seeing UT using the 'I' and 'T' formations.

There's also Prairie View-Grambling the week before, and a few here and there, but no more bowl game since the First Responder Bowl moved to SMU after the stadium's namesake game moved to Jerry World.

Barry Switzer said this 1978 OU team was his most TALENTED---- All those fumbles up N Lincoln, N November cost the Sonners a chance a Natty that year.....

Yup. OU was the pride of the big 8. I sure everyone remembers the nail biters with Kansas and Iowa State.

REGGIE KINLAW WAS ANOTHER RAIDER.

Respect to bama now Nick is bear Bryant lvl coaching.

Reggie Kinlaw was a load.

"From the Harley Races-to the Barry Windhams-to the Ric Flairs...."

I’m torn when I watch these games. Those triple option offenses were fun to watch, and these were two very talented teams. But watching them try to pass is painful. I don’t understand how elite college football programs could be so bad at it.

Penn St said they would accept an Orange 🍊 Bowl game vs Oklahoma if OU beat Nebraska and Okie St and they finished regular season undefeated, or Nebraska beat OU and then Missouri -setting up a National Championship game N the Orange 🍊 Bowl.... OU had 8 fumbles up N Lincoln against Nebraska and lost to Underdog Huskers... Penn St then moved to #1 and Nebraska #2..... Nebraska ended up losing to Missouri the following week and Penn St finished undefeated ...... Alabama moved back to #2 and Penn St accepted an invitation to the Sugar Bowl setting up #1 vs 2 ..... Bama had a goal line stand and held on to beat Penn St.. AP awarded Bama the Natty..... meanwhile N the Rose Bowl, USC beat #5 Michigan and the UPI coaches poll awarded USC their Natty, as they had beat Bama N the regular season.....

Dallas is geographically halfway between Norman and Austin therefore “neutral” territory state lines notwithstanding. Believe. Texas never had home field advantage as there was always as much Crimson and Cream as Burnt Orange! And at that time, probably half the OU players were from Texas!

@@ronaldlamascus1944 It is a slight advantage for Texas because the game is IN Texas. My best example of this is that the papers/media in Dallas always call it "Texas-OU". They never call it "OU-Texas" like they do in Oklahoma. If the place were truly neutral they would alternated it depending on who was the designated home team. But nope, it's always "Texas-OU". A small thing but an example of why Texas has a slight advantage as the OU team and fans are well aware that they aren't on home turf.
