1960 Gator Bowl (#9 Arkansas vs. Georgia Tech)

Highlights from the 1960 Gator Bowl between #9 SWC Co-Champion Arkansas and Georgia Tech. The Hogs would win 14-7 to win their first bowl game under Frank Broyles. The Razorbacks finished the year 9-2 while Georgia Tech finished 6-5.

Thanks for sharing. Love the old footage. Lance Alworth was always a favorite. He got a ring with the Cowboys, which was awesome.

Barry Switzer #53, Arkansas. Starting Center and you see he’s also a Captain at the coin toss.

Freddie Akers kicking the extra point. Is that the same Fred Akers that later coached Texas?

[@WARMACHINE2013]

Yep.

That's awesome.

Awesome old footage!

Good vid. Wondering how Tech seemingly got the kickoff to both halves? Did I miss something?

[@WARMACHINE2013]

There's a quirky rule where if you say kickoff at the coin toss you have to kickoff both halves. Hogs have done that. It's dumb that you have to say defer, but it is what it is.

Isn't Georgia tech still running that same offense today?

[@WARMACHINE2013]

No. They still run option concepts, but they're more spread now.

'Spilled'. I wonder when the word 'sacked' came into use.
