The Sooners, ranked #1 in the country, slug it out with the Longhorns at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas in the 1987 version of the Red River Rivalry. This game, close at the half, 13-6, would end in an Oklahoma rout, 44-9. Barry Switzer's option game led by quarterbacks Jamelle Holieway and Charles Thompson would outrun Texas all day.

Boy, do I miss the exciting triple option. I get so tired of today's all passing, all day in today's college football. Bring back the triple option and all those big plays!

@theSparkyWatts 3 года назад

Yeah, idk I remember a lot of games like OU Nebraska 1985. Just fumble fumble fumble. No ability to complete a forward pass. I'm old school on most things but this I'm mixed on I suppose! Definitely, would like to see more of it back

@LarryRickenbacker 3 года назад

@@theSparkyWatts I believe Keith Jackson caught a long TD pass in that '85 contest..

@theSparkyWatts 3 года назад

@@LarryRickenbacker I meant 86 where there was 15 fumbles 4 for turnovers and 2 interceptions thrown. I realize passes were completed but 50% was a good thing. I definitely prefer a balance and miss option. Us older guys are probably stuck with spread mentality for awhile

@georgesouthwick7000 2 года назад

Watching this game reminds me of a quote from former Texas coach, Darrell Royal. When asked why his teams didn’t pass more, Royal replied, “because when you throw the football, there are three things that can happen, and two of them are bad”.

I love it when Earl Campbell is being interviewed on the sidelines and Lydel Carr breaks free for a TD!

I Met Lydell Carr At A Car Dealership In 1998. Super Cool Guy 👊🏿.

@edwellis1 13 лет назад

Carr, Dixon, Vickers, Collins, Jackson, those were some great Sooners!

No Bosworth this year. As Barry told him after that Orange Bowl stunt after the 86 season, "Brian, you need to decide where you're going to play next year, because it's not going to be here."

I so remember this!! Always FUN to see the horns lose!! BOOMER SOONERS!!!

The sooners WILL go down on Saturday, October 6, 2018

@LarryRickenbacker 5 лет назад

I may be an LSU alum, but this Texan's favorite team will ALWAYS be whoever's playing the short horns.

LarryRickenbacker as someone who grew up a Sooner fan (I still definitely am) I feel that way about whoever is against Alabama

This was the first OU-Texas game I attended.

@leemontgomery7914 4 года назад

As I’ve gotten older, and as many OU games I’ve seen over the years, it seems to me that the OU teams in the 70s and 80s were more SOLID and STABLE. Am I imagining things? Or maybe those teams were more smash mouth.🤔

@franklinbolander1916 3 года назад

LEE UR CORRECT,SOONERS BACK IN THE 70S AND 80S WERE MORE PHYSICAL AND SOLID,ESPECIALLY ON DEFENSE!

@theSparkyWatts 3 года назад

And more turnover prone. People freak out today if OU qb has 10 turnovers on season. Even in 2000 all turnovers. Josh heupel had 20 pass tds and 20 turnovers

@greganderson1445 4 года назад

If it wasn't for Miami OU would've had. 3 titles instead of the one. Miami was bigger and faster. They had a great run from 85-88.

@chessward4832 4 года назад

Never gets old seeing Texas lose.

@coreyoden6367 5 лет назад

Holloway was the greatest option QB of all time, but Charles Thompson was HELL!!

@Farlomous 3 года назад

man Patrick Collins was my favorite player when I was kid....what a great beating this was

@buckyteel4129 3 года назад

OU defense had more interceptions in this game than they normally get in a season anymore. And considering how much more pass happy today's game is (more pass attempts mean more opportunity for interception) just goes to show you either how good this defense was in 87 or how bad they are now.

@tx-k4222 4 года назад

Holloway goes down , no worries re-load with Thompson! Boomer Sooner!!

@engaginglifesmoments7657 3 года назад

Welp…Charles Thompson’s son will be the Texas QB against OU.

@dougarmstrong6611 4 года назад

We had a great defense then

@dude999642 4 года назад

Maybe the the red team's QB didn't know that he's supposed to throw it to the RED team?

@quincee33 13 лет назад

@DNSKansas okay thanks...what do you think about charlie weiss going to coach KU?

@gossard56 13 лет назад

87' Sooners were the best team in college football history! Go look up the stats, they were insane! First in every team defensive and team offensive stats (except passing of course).

@soonernutty 10 лет назад

I went to school (Jr. High and High) with Lydel Carr....he got me in trouble in the 9th grade, trying to see my answers on a test....

@johnmanning4097 11 лет назад

I luved how at 5.58 Lydell Carr scored on that long run while Earl Campbell was getting interviewed. That was a great team.I really believe had Hall Fame QB Troy Aikman had not got hurt in 1985 OU would have beat Miami all 3 yrs 85-87.

@theroncon 13 лет назад

The 86 game was a bloodbath.

@tmckinsey79 10 лет назад

If Holieway doesn't get injured, I think these Sooners beat Miami. No disrespect to Thompson at all, but he was a freshman. I think the more experience could have made a difference. Still one of the best teams of all time anyway. BOOMER SOONER!!

@johnmanning4097 7 лет назад

tmckinsey79 I fully agree with you Holieway had more experience a better passer and was strong as an ox he could have broke tackles that would gave Oklahoma that extra yard against a very strong Miami defense back then.

@claypage1089 8 лет назад

I was there. That Keith Stanberry call still bothers me.

@johnmanning4097 9 лет назад

Charles Thompson was faster and quicker than Jamelle Holieway but Holieway was a better wishbone quarterback overall if he had not got hurt his junior year they possibly could have beat Miami in the Orange Bowl in 1988 for the national championship
