Billy Sims and David Overstreet in the same backfield? wow. wait, there’s more…apparently Elvis Peacock and Kenny King were also on this roster? was there anyone on this OU roster who didn’t make it in the NFL?
Ahh- the names of that era... Jarvis Redwine, I.M. Hipp, Odius Lee, Elvis Peacock, David Overstreet, Thomas Lott, Vickey Anderson, Julius CeasarJ.C.Watts, Weldon & Jerome Ledbetter, Buster Rhymes, Jackie Shipp....
J.C. Watts had a good career in the CFL....I remember him playing for Ottawa against Warren Moon of Edmonton in the Grey Cup...ironically alot of Nebraska players played in the CFL , like Vince Ferragamo, Johnny Rogers, Turner Gill etc...
That season also had a historic win over #4 Ohio State with Uwe von Schamann's "The Kick" and the Sooners also blew out #16 Iowa St. You must mention the positive if you are going to mention the negative.
That backfield of Peackock, Overstreet, and Sims.. plus Lott as the QB. Unreal
This was an old fashioned butt kicking and Nebraska provided the butt.
Back in those days, if Oklahoma got a two touchdown lead, the game was over.
💯🎯✅ AIN'T NO COMING BACK!!!!
THAT WISHBONE WAS LETHAL!!!! 🔥
Me and Dad were in the north endzone, 25 rows up and dead center between the goalposts. What a great time to grow up in Oklahoma.
Never gets old watching the Wishbone!

You know Tom Osborne was beside himself that they got spanked like a red headed stepchild. Boomer!
I was just a kid, but was this the year OU blew it against Arkansas in the Orange Bowl?

Back in the day when Oklahoma had a defense
The OU defense was shredded by Arkansas. This game here over a bad Nebraska team gave OU overconfidence, and Arkansas made them pay for it.
God, I had forgot that horrible fake turf we had for so many years.
I wish Oklahoma would have manhandled Nebraska like this in 1978
We did, just had seven turnovers.... And still should have won the game.... Crushed them in the Orange Bowl....
👀👀👀 BOOMER SOONER!!!!!!!
THAT WISHBONE WAS LETHAL!!! 🚨
#OU 💯🎯✅
being from nebraska, as a kid in the 70s the names i quickly learned to loathe were those of billy sims... and barry switzer.

Just couldn't stop Earl Campbell that year (for once). And Arkansas -- now THAT was embarassing.
Great video! I'm looking for the 1980 Oklahoma vs. Nebraska game. First college game I ever saw.
Those were tha dayz😎
best quality ever for age
How'd that work for ya?
OU sure did get clobbered by Arkansas in the OB!
It was a sad day :-(
Why was the only Nebraska score skipped?
