Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic

Fred Marshall provided Arkansas football with its finest hour. Undefeated and ranked second in the wire service polls, the Razorbacks were aiming for a piece of their first national championship. But, standing in their way was No. 6 Nebraska. Defense dominated the game, and with just under 10 minutes to play, the Huskers held a 7-3 advantage. Pressure was mounting and the clock was ticking. Marshall knew the time had come to step forward. The Arkansas quarterback directed the Hogs on an 80-yard drive to produce the winning touchdown. Passing and scrambling for 71 yards himself, Marshall literally took over the fourth quarter. His grit and determination made sure the Razorbacks found their way into the history books, leading Arkansas to a 10-7 victory and college football's national title.
