This field goal is imprinted on this old brain forever. I nearly jumped as high as the kick was.

I absolutely love Oklahoma football even though I’m a Jayhawker transplanted to California. Leading up to this game, I had boasted and made small bets to half of what seemed like Sacramento. I received nasty phone calls through out the game, and got so irritated I answered the phone with “Dial a prayer, you’re going to need them” and then would immediately hang up. When Ohio fans started cheering so loudly they couldn’t hear the plays and Ewe started cheerleading I knew we had it in the bag. I called back every one of those suckers proving I was a worse winner than I was a loser. That game is the best game I ever watched and I don’t think I’ve missed one single game since 1965. What a treat, what fun, what a team. Boomer Sooner!

Oh I remember that game and that kick and how crazy our house got when he nailed the field goal

NICE! Remember watching this as a kid!

one of the most exciting games ever. von Schamann sure had a pair on him. if he missed.... but he didn't

I remember sitting at Buck's house with the guys watching this game and listening to it on the radio! Almost 40 years ago

Ohio State and Oklahoma are to be admired for playing these intersectional games.

...No Shit! ...think you'll ever see Alabama, Auburn, LSU, Florida, Florida State, Clemson, Miami, Georgia, Arizona State or Tennessee will ever schedule a home & home w/ any schools in the north?!!! ...HELL NO!!! (& sorry, home & home w/ Missouri, OU & Okie State doesn't count) ...& do you think they'd ever schedule a game up north say after November 10th?!!! ...AGAIN...HELL NO!!! ...Hey Nick & Dabo, schedule a game in places like Ames, Iowa, Manhatten, Kansas, Minneapolis, Minnesota or Morgantown, West Virginia in November & I'll start to buy in to all the hype!

What a game! Unbelievable finish. Von Schamann had a decent NFL career but I don't think he was much of a cheerleader

I was 10 yrs old and I remember watching this game on tv.i was in Va. and my neighbor was from Ohio.When we won i ran across the street bragging:)Boomer Sooner

I just saw my uncle! #55 for OSU lol.

To bad we had to wait until 1983 in Norman to get revenge! Go Bucks

I remember Woody Hayes the crazy unsportsmanlike coach of Ohio State slaps the hell out of an OU manager. I felt like beating the hell out of him but that was when I was wild and violent and I think just gone through a divorce lol. Woody. Ohio State and Oklahoma are dynasties so it’s just icing on a big cake.

Now..... after close to 40 years..... I can smile and say it was a great game... two great football teams and coaches.... see you guys in a few years!!!!.... back in those days Woody Hayes Staduim only seated 88000...... we suggestion you DOT your Is for the next one!!!! BTW,,,, Keith Buyers killed the Bos a few years later.... sent him back to Jr Hi!!!! Congrats on your great OU Traditions!!!!!!!

the Bully Woody was not a great coach. he would be in prison and broke if he were still alive today. chocking, slapping, and punching opponents while refusing to shake the hand of the opposing coach is not great. we all know his infamous choking of the clemson player that led to his firing, but if you see the complete broadcast of this game on youtube, you can see the bully woody slap the sooners equipment manager at midfield while blowing off the great Switzers attempt to shake his hand. Other video has him assaulting michigan players in the tunnel, etc. One has to wonder if he was doing this on national TV, what was he doing behind closed doors?

"the Bully Woody was not a great coach"... You are an idiot. Five national titles, 13 Big Ten championships, but he wasn't great? People like are just too stupid to debate. You could have said you didn't care for him, that he was temperamental, that he too hot-headed for his or his team's own good... but you went the one place that makes you sound moronic. What a dope...

Woody Hayes was a punk ass. You know; like a typical Ohio St fan.

Smug Switzer got his just reward. Prior to the '78 Orange Bowl, Arkansas head coach Lou Holtz suspended three starters, including leading rusher Ben Cowins. (Something Switzer NEVER would have done to any of his players) They weren't missed. Arkansas hammered Boomer Sooner, 31 - 6.
