It was great catching up with several guys from the 2011 football team for this. Part II on the aftermath coming next week. https://cyclonefanatic.com/2020/05/...numental-2011-win-over-oklahoma-state-part-i/
Thanks, man! Part 2 will include some secondhand quotes from Weeden.That is a fantastic article. Love hearing it in the words of the players, Rhoads, and Walters.
In March, we had a Zoom Tailgate and watched this game together. I had forgotten how many mistakes we made in that game. Yet, the spirit in the stadium was like none other. Even the TV announcer felt it early.
Glad you included the part about Knott's cast. Most folks I talk to didn't know about it.
It is so cool to see Woody holding on to the ball with "every part of his body" as Walters said. I didn't know the part about him fooling around on the sideline not even thinking that he might be the ball carrier.
Maybe @The Rob Gray could do another article with interviews of Weeden, Blackmun, the kicker, and most of all, the d-line that got pushed around at the end.
Great work, Rob.
I still cannot believe that happened.It was great catching up with several guys from the 2011 football team for this. Part II on the aftermath coming next week. https://cyclonefanatic.com/2020/05/...numental-2011-win-over-oklahoma-state-part-i/
Great article, I think that 66-6 win was over Tech not Baylor though.
The camera angle wasn't dead on, so I wonder how much of a home field call the missed FG at the end of regulation was? Or, just a correct call that finally went our way.
Fun read. Really looking forward to part two.

I remember my last class that day was from 12-1. It was a 300 level CE class. Professor started getting ready for his lecture at the beginning, then stopped and said “So..does anyone actually think we have a chance tonight?” Response from the class was a halfhearted “no.”
That night was a pretty good way to kick off thanksgiving break
