The Strip & Score

Miami, January 3, 2001 -
In a season so richly laced with great moments, the one for the ages came in the national title game, a 13-2 victory over Florida State in the Orange Bowl. It has been called by some the greatest defensive effort ever in a championship game.With OU ahead by only 6-0 in the fourth quarter, All-American linebacker Rocky Calmus knocked the ball out of FSU QB Chris Weinke's hands, safety Roy Williams recovered and two plays later, Quentin Griffin ran for the only touchdown of the game.

Those days of undetoured swagger and swarming defense are etched in my mind as the best days of an OU program that went into every game determined to silence the critics.

That was our best defensive team under Stoops.. well, that one and maybe the next one. But to hold that FSU offense to NO POINTS was phenominal.
