The Home Run Ball

Miami, January 1, 1986 -
A swarming defense, a record field goal performance and two big plays helped Oklahoma defeat Penn State to capture both the Orange Bowl and its sixth national championship. Butkus Award winner Brian Bosworth had 13 solo tackles and the OU secondary picked off four Penn State passes to thwart any rallies. Tim Lashar booted an Orange Bowl record four field goals to give the Sooners an early lead. Lydell Carr and Kieth Jackson then provided big plays, a 61-yard jaunt by Carr and a 71-yard pass play from Jamelle Holieway to Jackson.

I still consider Jameel Holieway the best option QB ever. He was a great QB in the triple option with speed and amazing strength to break tackles plus he had a surprisingly accurate arm when called upon.

Keith Jackson had great hands and great speed!!

Keith Jackson was a man among boys at the collegiate level.

Back when you could enjoy a touchdown

Holieway was a surprisingly good passer. His pass hit Jackson in stride.

I second that he was the best option QB ever. Surprisngly strong for his size breaking tackles you wouldn't expect, read the option as well as I ever saw, and as dangerous a runner as any of the running backs.

I helped deliver my youngest daughter, Ashley, at Norman Regional Hospital in 1987. The OB/GYN told me, "Don't fumble her, Jameele! She is now a manager at Hooter's. Gawd, I'm getting old......

He's on his way to prison for shoplifting at a Walmart store. His life has gotten worst since his college football days.
