Wilkinson Reflects On Texas Game For No 1 Oklahoma
Oklahoma coach Bud Wilkinson recalled last summer’s prediction that his team was solid but not outstanding. The Sooners beat Texas 21 7 but showed a less dynamic passing game and relied on grinding runs. Texas used sophomores and strong line play to force turnovers as Oklahoma managed only two completions in 15 attempts.
