Wes Hopkins actually intercepted the final pass in the end zone and was on the ground with the ball when a BYU player jumped on him and claimed to have possession of the ball and the rest is history, according to Tom Harrity, a band member on the sidelines who saw first-hand what happened.

Hopkins clearly got to the ball first, but instead of knocking it away like he should have he tried to intercept the ball and that cost the game.

Yeah, and in the time it took you to look here 10 times to see if there was a response, you coulda answered your own question by looking it up--so bite me back.

No aggression--you got on people for going off on a tangent instead of answering your question, so I just pointed out the info you seek is available on the web. You said bite me, so I said bite me back. Everything's fine, Cougar's running great, happy hannukah, etc.

holiday bowl-bluebonnet bowl

Postby carolina stang » Sat Dec 18, 2004 9:00 am

Hey Mustang '65. The SMU-Oklahoma game was televised 12/31/68. I was eight years old and it was the first SMU game I ever saw.
Great game. I have never seen it replayed on ESPN Classic though. I think the original broadcast was done by the same people who used to do the SWC basketball games on Saturday afternoons in the 70's. I think the network was TVS?

I was on the sidelines at the end of the game at the holiday bowl my junior year at SMU. We went down to the field with about 3 minutes left. I didn't see it from where I was standing, but several people said that one of the passes caught in the end zone by BYU near the end bounced before being caught. As has been said many times on this board, a disastrous ending.

Thanks Carolina, I don't think I've ever seen a replay either while I was watching on TV, or later. I was sure that I saw the ball bounce on the next to last (I think) BYU TD. Seems like the TV announcers just kind of ignored it, or missed it like the refs.
