1968 Bluebonnet Bowl
SMU
27-28

We have a Great Class "CaliBornSoonerBred" Is Our New A+ Student ~~ :)

1968 Bluebonnet Bowl | SMU 28, Oklahoma 27

OU led 20-6 entering the fourth but SMU quarterback Chuck Hixson led a comeback that produced a 28-21 lead. OU, without injured QB Bob Warmack, narrowed the margin to one on a pass from Mickey Ripley, but missed a two-point conversion for the lead. One last chance came after recovering an onside kick but a field goal attempt from inside the SMU 30-yard line went wide as time expired.

[CaliBornSoonerBred]

Who was OU footballs 1st EVER opponent and what was the outcome?I have 35 books on OU football and depending on which one you believe the opposition was Oklahoma Cty High or OKC town team.Everyone does agree John A. Harts organized the first team in 1895.

Hasrts later wrote a letter to the OU President in 1942 thanking him for naming hm(Harts) as the founder of OU football.I have always wondered if he lived to see what Wilkinson accomplished in the '50's.
