Way to go Tom Herman! Was at the game, didn’t think the end line was ever an issue.
Stoops cried to every ref he could find, musta replayed it 10 times–Wilson’s back foot was in about 2"-proof was there. Every Okie coach cried to each other-think they were trying to find a goat. After that play, they were pretty much done. One of my top 3 coog games ever. (they were #2,3 in the nation at the time)
I believe there was a clip on TV that showed Wilson setting his back foot inside the end line as he looked down on it . There is no doubt it was a legal play.
Go Coogs !

Yes, at that point in time UT hadn’t lost a FB game in Austin since 1967 with the 1968 tie game against UH (20-20) being their only blemish. On that day, Wilson Whitley surpassed anything that I’ve ever seen from a defensive lineman (college or pro)…and he earned the Defensive Player of the Decade in the SWC and the Outland Trophy based upon just one season in the SWC and likely upon that one game’s dominating performance.
And yes for the younger folks, Big Ed was a dominant force against Louisville and their Heisman Trophy winning QB in the UH victory at TDECU Stadium, but not like Wilson Whitley was on that storybook day in Austin. (Scoreboard 30-0…UH over UT…welcome to the SWC UH…and welcome to retirement, UT Coach Darrell Royal)

The 1968 Longhorns lost their next Home Game after the 20-20 tie with our Cougars. They then won 30 in a row.
In 1976 our Defense held the Longhorns to minus yards rushing, probably their worst-ever running results. Wilson Whitley demolished them.

Yes I was at the game. Towards the end of the fourth quarter Texas was so dominated that their Coach Darrel Royal removed his headset and handed it to an assistant . He quit as had his team. I thought he was going to leave before the game was over.
I wonder if he said…“I can’t coach this stuff !” What a life long memory !
Go Coogs !
