But the real key to winning was the offensive line. Boring to be sure, but dominating. Drive after drive up the middle to eat up clock and make a few field goals. Almost 300 yards rushing against a defense touted to be one of the best in the nation. One pass completion for about 3 yards. One play, one run several times before in the first half that were unsuccessful, finally worked.
To this day, on a crisp Fall day with a few fluffy clouds, mostly sunny and about 70 degrees, I think, 'What a great day to beat the Whorns!"
THE BLOCK!!!!!!

That's why I think the SMU v Texas Tech game which was an emotional roller-coaster with perhaps the greatest single play in SMU History (maybe 2nd to Bobby Finley pass to win 1935 SMU-TCU game) was the greatest SMU game I ever saw. Emotionally gut-wrenching to an unparalleled euphoria in 17 seconds or less. Its the day that you knew God was a Mustang-and that happens once or twice a lifetime. Only regret is that the cameras didn't catch the wild celebration from goal-line to goal-line

Oh and the alum that gave me those 3 cars gave me a nice, big Meercedes about 15 years ago. mrydel had a chance ot got to a game in it but thought it was to excessive. The nice thing about having a good sugar daddy at SMU is they don't forget one's needs even years after football. HOw I long for the good ole days!
