Crowder: Oklahoma's legendary quarterback and record-setter
Crowder, a former Muskogee high school star, is hailed as possibly the greatest Oklahoma quarterback. The 1952 OU backfield led by Crowder included Heisman winner Billy Wessels, Buddy Leake, and Buck McPhail, with three earning first team All-America honors. He set two all-time OU passing records, including four TD passes in 17 minutes of a 1951 Colorado game, and tied Claude Arnold for most TD passes in a quarter with three. Oklahoma went 8-1-1 in Crowder’s senior year, beating Texas 49-20 in 1952 and sacrificing a Notre Dame loss and a Colorado tie.
