To think that Tinker Owens or any WR could have made two-time All-American on a wishbone team is amazing......this was my favorite of all the OU teams I watched growing up in Oklahoma.....
Love seeing how unsophisticated the pass offenses are and how sophisticated the run games are. Look how far apart the hashes are compared to the pros.
Man those were the days in Oklahoma. I was 11 when this game was played, I still remember the whole afternoon. Great times. The Selmon brothers, Jimbo Elrod, Tinker Owens. Wasn;t this the year we kicked Tony Dorsett and Pitt's ass in Norman? Love seeing the old triple option, it was a thing of beauty.
I was a huge Wolverine fan back then. I remember Leach getting Knocked out. Gordy Bell,Rob Lytle...later on Harlyn Huckeby...but now it's ALL SEC baby!
I love to see the wishbone triple option at work. Those were the days. Michigan's offense has 3rd and 9 yards to go, what do you call? A bootleg option for a 1st down! Wish we still had that diversity of offensive styles today. A pro passing attack vs. option running team was always an interesting contrast in styles. Enjoyed watching thanks for posting!
This is the first bowl game where any big 10 team were allowed to play in another bowl game, before this only the big 10 winner played in the rose bowl. you either played in the rose bowl or your season was over, lots of great teams in the big 10 never got to a bowl game. including a few undefeated Michigan teams.
This was a close hard hitting game, that came right down to the end, with OU getting the INT from freshmen Ricky Leach to seal the game.

Watching either team trying to pass the ball was tough back then, the passing
game was not there strong suit.

What a great video! As a Michigan fan, I like how it shows an equal amount of both Michigan and Oklahoma. Well done.

Awesome. I will never forget growing up in OK in the early and mid 1970s, driving from OKC down to Norman to watch the Sooners. Great times.

Wow, good hard-nosed head knocking by both teams. Love these 70's classic games.
