Bowl Clubs Texas And Ole Miss Top Combacks
Mississippi and Texas meet in the Sugar Bowl after strong climbs from shaky starts in 1957. Ole Miss, led by coach Johnny Vaught, built a powerful line and rushing attack, while Texas under Darrell Royal relied on a wave of sophomores and Walter Fondren’s kicking to fuel a six win season. The Rebels, favored by a slim margin, boast a stout defense that yielded only 52 points while posting 232 on offense.
