  • I was disgusted with the OU Sooners, they had players that were talented enough to walk all over Clemson on their worst days!  The Sooners went down to Florida and goofed off! What a waste of talent, no disrespect to Clemson, but OU lost that game!

  • @Potsie791 You are an idiot. Clemson had future NFL talent all over the field.

  • @beethina Levon Kirkland, Donnell Woolford, Ed McDaniel, Terry Allen all played in this game for Clemson and all had very successful careers in the NFL. In fact, in this game, Clemson had more players that played in the NFL than Oklahoma did. If any doubt me, just look it up.

  • @Potsie791 Oklahoma wouldn't have walked over Clemson, not during the decade of the 1980's. That rational is quite ridiculous.

  • Jessie Hatcher player a heck of a game, he is one of my alltime fav TIGERS!!

  • @Potsie791 lol

  • Charles Thompson was the QB this season, but obviously out for the year with injury. Thompson was a 4.4 speedster that could get to the edge and did it very effectively for the Sooner season in 1988.

    Holieway was a little muscular 4.6 jitterbug genius, however by this time in his career Holieway was clearly a shadow of his 1985 ability, he probably was a 4.7 guy or worse by this time and it showed against Clemson.

  • Thompson, however, broke his leg on the final play of the Nebraska game on November 19, 1988, so Holieway became the starter again for the Citrus Bowl vs. Clemson, in a 13-6 loss on January 2, 1989.

  • Holieway underwent reconstructive knee surgery shortly after the injury, and rehabilitated in the offseason. Though he came back to play the following season, he saw limited action and reinjured the leg on October 8, 1988 versus the Texas Longhorns. The injury plagued Holieway for the remainder of the '88 season, and he eventually lost his starting job to Charles Thompson.

  • Holieway tore the Anterior Cruciate Ligament (ACL) in his left knee in a game versus the Oklahoma State Cowboys on November 7, 1987. Holieway was running an option-play to the left and turned to cut up field. His left knee got caught in the Astroturf on Owen Field.
