I wasn’t around in the Seventies so none of this immediately came to mind. Sooners were the 2x defending national champs in a down year. Horns, Sooners, Hogs, Tide, Irish would a year later contend for a national title in late November.

Another notable single-digit score fest was in 1973 where defending champion USC and soon to be future 2x defending champion in 74 and 75 OU played to a 7-7 tie.

In Stallings driest year we went into Tennessee game 2-3 while they were undefeated and ranked 3rd nationally. It was 6-6 wth seconds to go. We blocked a Tennessee (potentially) game winning field goal, the blocked ball rolled to about our 30, and Phillip Doyle kicked it through with no time left for a 9-6 win. Up until that game I thought we had made a mistake hiring Stallings.
