Show Notes
This is a replay of the Jan. 1, 2025 edition.
In 1954, Alabama's Tommy Lewis came off the bench to tackle Rice running back Dickie Maegle.
In 1985, the drivers of the Boomer Sooner Schooner came onto the field a bit early and got bogged down. A 15 yard unsportsmanlike penalty was called and it cost Oklahoma points in their Orange Bowl game against Washington.
In 2007, Boise State beat Oklahoma in a wild finish to the Fiesta Bowl.
In 2002, New England's Doug Flutie successfully pulled off a drop kick for a point. It was the first drop kick in an NFL game in 60 years.
In 2012, Detroit's Matt Stafford and Green Bay's Matt Flynn combined for 1000 yards passing to set an NFL record in a shootout in Green Bay.
