Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic

Incredible is the only word that can describe Bobby Layne's performance in the Classic's 10th anniversary game in 1946. Layne was responsible for all 40 Texas points in the Longhorns' 40-27 victory over Missouri. He passed for two touchdowns, ran for three more, caught a 50-yard bomb for another, and kicked four PATs. Layne completed 11-of-12 pass attempts, had eight consecutive completions, and even though it's been more than 50 years, his .917 pass completion percentage is still a Cotton Bowl record. It's no wonder that after the game, Missouri coach Chauncey Simpson ran to the Texas team bus to shake Layne's hand, saying, "I never saw a better job by anybody!"
