1985 Nat'l Champ. (Orange Bowl 1/01/86) OU vs. Penn St.

[unit693]

As a Bruin Fan I must admit I do admire the OU program. Bootlegger's Boy is a must read.

[jobu88]

I remember SMU came to Norman the last game of 1985 and unless we gave up something like 900 yards of offense to them, we were assured of being the top-ranked D in NCAA Division I. One of the best defenses we ever had;  right up there with 1974 and 2003.

[agent805]

probably one of the most dominate defenses in the history of the game. I think this is the same year OU held Neb and Texas to 4 and out from the one yard.

[thefreashking]

lol college football sucks nowdays.even high school football in the 80s was better than the garbage players they have now.

[CuddinPurple]

Who Do You Think Would Have Won If Air Force Had Beaten BYU?

[FRSFreeStatePlus]

1985 Barry Swtizer's last FBS Championship

[Jas5578]

The game where I was introduced to OU football.

[eugenemcgirt]

Oklahoma couldn't deal with Miami during this time though.

[drvenkman16]

@eugenemcgirt Well they played each other 3 times in 3 years. Twice OU was without their starting QB. How would Miami have done if the roles were reversed?

[JoeZeon100]

man i miss those old teams like Oklahoma and Nebraska who would just rip teams with the option.

[pruittbmop]

im tired ppl sayin stuff today is fake and stuff back then was real

just cuz its old doesnt make it better

[ErikS1975FreeState]

What a great matchup for a Title Game

[mechgregor]

Troy Johnson and Darrell Reed were my favorite players on that team. Man, this vid brings back memories

[quincee33]

I always thought Spencer Tillman was a QB, funny how yur memory can be totally off.

[elvisfan22]

Oklahoma has the best "longest spread" of Ntl championships, that's what I like about them. Example, Nebraska won nothing until the 70s then nothing until the90s, then nothing again. Dame was big in the 40s 60s 70s & 80s which was the best spread, but then NOTHING for 20 years! Oklahoma was champs in the 50s, 70s, 80s, 00s meaning ONLY 10 years AT a TIME is the average for an OU decline until back on top. Everybody else hasnt won at all or has like a 20-30 year gap in between.

[666jewkid]

idk what ur talking about nebraska never went under a 9-3 record from the 70s to the early 2000s

[elvisfan22]

Ok did you read what I wrote??? Longest spread of national titles not winnings... Nebraska won the title in the 70s then in the 90s. 20 year gap.

[quincee33]

r u sure?

[GreenTerror96]

I'm a Penn State fan but thank you for putting this up! It's great to be able to take a look back to real college football every now and again!

[jobu88]

I was in boot camp when this game was played. Didn't even learn the score until 3 days later. That was one of my favorite OU teams. I think the 74 team was better.

[perlster]

illegal forward pass at 1:22

[ad287]

This was real OKLAHOMA football. Back when Switzer was coaching, we had a swagger that made teams absolutely fear the fuck out of us....we were mean, we were straight up fucking bad boys. Miami got us pretty good in the 80s, but not many teams could. This shit with Stoops now is a fucking joke. At least when we still had Mike Stoops, we played with a swagger. But either way, Bob is no Barry, not even close. Barry is a legend. Bob is a fucking joke, a clown, he's a straight up fraud.

[666jewkid]

Im no Oklahoma or Bob Stoops fan but Bob Stoops saved Oklahoma's program. After Switzer left Oklahoma fell off the map. They were the worst team of the 90s. When Stoops came in Oklahoma went back up to the top. Stoops won a his 1st national championship his 2nd year as a coach. Stoops may not be Switzer but he saved oklahoma football and to say hes a joke is stupid.

[darthhvader]

being a husker fan these oklahoma teams drove nuts but loved the offense miss the option great job beating the ping pongs~!!!

[norsemustang]

Those OU teams would probably have won three national championships from 85 to 87 (maybe undefeated each year) if not for the Miami Hurricanes. Not only was their wishbone working like the wishbone of old, but they had the best defense in the country each of those years.

[getyoasshome]

miami was too good on offense with players like michael irvin, brian blades etc...

[jobu88]

Yep. I still hate Miami for breaking up what should have been back-to-back-to-back national titles 85, 86 and 87.

[SenorDali]

If you watch the entire replay, the announcers were over the top pro Penn State. And what about the bit with Jimmy Cefalo at halftime? What a joke.

PSU was a tough hard nosed team though.

[emmitt2200]

I love the all the sooner stuff, but you gotta get "Game of the Century II" Oklahoma vs Nebraska 1987..absolute sooner classic

[soonerscott2007]

I think I have it. Maybe I'll get around to it sometime. Thanks for watching. BOOMER SOONER!

[paguaplayer]

The music rocks to this vid. Thanks for the memories.

[Longhorn98fan]

fuck. Oklahoma wins a NC using an Offense that Texas created. talk about Irony

[pdxsooner]

That's funny. Do your research, Billy Bob. UT didn't create the wishbone. If they had, maybe Darrell Royal wouldn't have been Switzer's bitch.

[Longhorn98fan]

somebodys in a bad mood!

Mormons vist your house or somthing!

[pdxsooner]

Wouldn't visiting Mormons be enough to put anybody in a bad mood?

[Longhorn98fan]

it would be worse if they beat you in a football game.

[pdxsooner]

@Longhorn98fan That was pretty damn funny, 98.

[soonerstd]

Oklahoma was badass back then! they still are.

[ishiam]

i miss this OU i just wish we had a good defense last year

[nterprise1]

hey butt knocker, should have left the music out... butt-knocker!

[hop2171]

Penn State was a bunch of punks than, they still are today and i'd like nothing more than to blow their azzes out again this bowl season. They have no business even thinking about playing for a title this season. Time to show everyone how the big ten is really a BIG JOKE AGAIN BABY!!! OH YEAH!

[KelferMookie]

FUCK YOU

OOooOOOHHH OOOOOoooOOOOOH OOH OOOHH

WE ARE PENN STATE!!!!!! >:)

[theycallmejb]

I became a Sooner fan after this game here.

[1armboxer123]

Great video !!! Loose the music.

[soonerscott2007]

I have a version with full TV audio for all those that don't like the music.

[spintekST]

would have been cool without the music

[jawhitten]

Great memories! I hated Penn State so much that I became a Sooners fan that night, second only to West Virginia. I was really hoping we wouldn't beat you guys so bad this year ;) Thanks for the clip, my all time favorite NC game.

[soonerscott2007]

Everyone's entitled to their own opinion, even if it's wrong --hole!

[govols1986]

music is perfect

[Meni69]

thanks bro!
