Oklahoma fumbled 7 times, lost 5 and still won the game, thanks to the heroic efforts by a banged-up J.C. Watts. He's one of my favorite Sooners of all time in one of the most memorable games of my childhood years.
Growing up in Enid Oklahoma as a kid JC Watts was my hero also you have to give credit to the defense with all those fumbles Oklahoma had the defense never broke
Switzer kept producing RB after RB all thru the 70’s and 80’s. This is one of my all-time favorite offensive backfield. David Overstreet, Buster Rhymes, Julius Caesar Watts, Stanley Wilson was as talented as any backfield he had. JC was a RB playing QB, and Stanley Wilson was a RB playing FB. Great memories!
Even if FSU won they would've still finished #2 and UGA would've still been unanimous national champions because they were undefeated and the noles had 1 loss! So this was just a pride/bragging rights game for the noles! Still would've been nice to win and had the FSU LB not dropped that int throw right to him the final drive we should've! I was 1 year old during this game having said all that! Lol
The problems with bowl games and selection were that teams were issued invitations with 1 games left in season. Norte Dame had 1 game left vs USC. ND lost. It was too late. The BCS solved that problem. Norte Dame barely won. against Michigan by kicking a 50 yard field against the wind as time ran out. Florida State beat #3 Nebraska and Pitt which was.
Hey man! Don’t know what your schedule for uploading these games is like but I’d love it if you could upload some more OU Texas games from the last few years especially like 2001-2004. Thanks!
U r right Florida State never beat Oklahoma n the 80's. I think Oklahoma beat Florida State when Bob Stoops was the coach. Oklahoma beat them 4 the national championship game. Then may-b a yr or 2 later Oklahoma beat them again w/Landry Jones as quarterback. So I don't think Florida State ever beat Oklahoma.
Both of these programs went into slumps the next season.Okkahoma didn't come out of it until 84.Florida State could start hosting non conference show downs by 87 and winning.
The Sugar Bowl selected ND before the Irish had played USC. ND got spanked by the Trojans 20-3. Meanwhile, #3 Pitt was stuck in the Gator Bowl. A different era
@@Luke7304 ND was ranked #2 and was undeafeted with 1 tie before the USC game, which Irish got beat. Talk about needing the BCS. NOLES defeated PITT, 2nd ranked Nebraska at Nebraska. Before the bowl games,, the ranking were 1-Geirgia , FSU, 3 pitt,, 4 Oklohoma. Michigan finally won a Rose Bowl 😀😀😀😀😀

And he was a great Congressman for Oklahoma!!

The good ole days for sure for this old man!
21:10, I truly believe David Overstreet would have helped the Miami Dolphins win a Super Bowl. Sad that he passed away in 1984.
Awesome upload! I remember watching this one as a 9 year old turd glued to the TV adjusting the rabbit ears!
JC went on to have a pretty good career in Ottawa ( CFL). He was exciting to watch, really good runner, but also had a more than decent arm.
OU defense only gave up 51 passing yards. That was a tenacious defense in spite of having to fend off 5 turnovers by the offense.
Been waiting on this one. Thanks for the upload
Ron Simmons, future HOF' er. WWE of course.
Why do Oklahoma keep running plays to the short side of the field ?
Those will be big plays if they was to the Wide side
“Why do”? Oklahoma won
Everybody put the strong safety to the wide side of the field to stop the wide side runs.
Odd question with the BS infractions but do you have the 2010 season? The Miami, Iowa, scUM and Arkansas games were all great.
Yes, that season should be posted in the near future. I believe the Arkansas game is already up.

Both these teams were ranked higher than the previous years orange bowl match up. Despite both having worse records than the previous year!
Oklahoma 4 DB's were numbers 15,16,17m an 18! That's unusual and not a coincidence I'm betting?
And Oklahoma wins it again!! We used to own the Orange Bowl!!

FSU really blew this one.
Since the 1980’s, I don’t think Florida State has beaten Oklahoma.
Oklahoma owns pussyass fsu

BOBBY NEVER BEAT OKLAHOMA
Didn't they win against ou following the 2022 season
35:08 Futch probably still wakes up in a cold sweat over this.
35:34 Coursey probably thinks about this every time he drops something.
1982 Oklahoma Sooners vs Arizona State can you find this for me
I'd love to watch it again myself if someone eventually posts it.

The field looked terrible in this game.
A Georgia FSU sugar bowl would've just made to much sense I guess ? Instead let's have Georgia play #7 ND an FSU Oklahoma in the orange bowl?
The Sugar Bowl selected ND before the Irish had played USC. ND got spanked by the Trojans 20-3. Meanwhile, #3 Pitt was stuck in the Gator Bowl.
A different era
Plus the Big 8 Champ - Oklahoma - was tied to the Orange Bowl and the SEC Champ - Georgia - was tied to the Sugar Bowl.
@@Luke7304 ND was ranked #2 and was undeafeted with 1 tie before the USC game, which Irish got beat. Talk about needing the BCS.
NOLES defeated PITT, 2nd ranked Nebraska at Nebraska. Before the bowl games,, the ranking were 1-Geirgia , FSU, 3 pitt,, 4 Oklohoma.
Michigan finally won a Rose Bowl 😀😀😀😀😀
@@thedivomeister6308 Michigan was playing the best by Rose Bowl.Too bad they had 2 losses from early in season.
Pretty meaningless in the eyes of most people outside of the Oklahoma and FSU fan bases. The Sugar Bowl decided the national championship.
