How hard is it to turn around and hand the ball to Earl Campbell? ;)

With that simple of an offense, how hard was it to stop him? ;>)

- '84 Iron Bowl. Overall shite season for Bama (4-6 with losses to Vandy, GT and BC), but it was one of the earliest Iron Bowls I remember watching. 4th and goal from the 1, down 17-15, Au elects to go for it instead of kicking the FG. Wrong way Bo Jackson didn't block to the play side, the AU runner was blown up for a turnover on downs. With that stop and UF's probation, AU missed a Sugar Bowl trip.


Honorable mention:
-2001 Iron Bowl: Bama coming off a horrible 3-8 2000 season and entering the '01 IB 5-5 dismantled AU 31-7 at JHS to prevent AU from clenching an SEC CG berth.

We were picked by a lot of folks #1 to start the year. Fell on our face first game, then threw up on ourselves the second game and couldn't score. It was a rough season, but they got some wins in there and started to improve. Then there was jetgate the week of the Iron Bowl. Everything was crazy.

Then, on the very first play from scrimmage, Cadillac just made everyone forget about everything else.

For Oklahoma...

Probably number one of the list would be either the 1966 win over Texas after losing eight straight...

Or 1971 over Texas after losing twelve of thirteen.

Other candidates...

Beating Notre Dame in 2013 after losing to them every time we played them other than in 1956.

John Blake's 0-4 team beating Texas in 1996.

OU beating Ohio State in the Shoe in 2017 after they drilled OU in Norman the year before.

Beating Nebraska in Lincoln in 1972 and getting revenge on Johnny Rodgers and Bob Devaney for the loss in the GOTC the year before. Bob Devaney's last home game.

Buck Belue is beloved for handing the ball to Herschel. LOL

He only threw one memorable pass.
