Today, I saw a USA Today forecast that places Texas and Alabama in the national championship game. The two one loss teams.
- ROLL TIDE -
Greatest Play in the history of College Football was the last play in the Orange Bowl game in 1965. Nobis was considered the greatest defensive player in college football that year. And, of course Namath was...........well......Namath.....arguably the greatest quarterback that ever lived when it came to winning. And, you had two of the greatest coaches EVER.....Darryl Royal and Bear Bryant. And, it was my first time to watch a “Color” football game!
On 4th-and-goal, just inches away from the goal line, Bryant dialed up a quarterback sneak and the athletic Namath attempted to dive in to the end zone.
He ran right in to Tommy Nobis.
Namath still claims he made it in to the end zone, but Nobis had him wrapped up short of the end zone when the whistle blew.
Another interesting stat is that overall Texas vs Alabama is 7-0-1 for Texas. I believe all of us down here in Central Texas want to see the Horns play the tide! That would be a HUGE game that no FAN would miss!
