Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic

His name is Steve Worster, but everyone calls him “Big Woo.” A tremendous short yardage runner with brilliant breakaway speed, not to mention a devastating blocker, he was the cornerstone of the awesome Texas Wishbone attack. With Worster at fullback, the Horns chewed up 30 straight opponents, collected two national titles, and compiled the greatest victory total in Texas’ celebrated football history. Worster led the Longhorns to three consecutive Cotton Bowl appearances, but his performance in the 1970 Classic was absolutely sensational. He bulled through Notre Dame defenders for 155 yards on 20 carries and paved the way to a 21-17 Texas victory. In the Cotton Bowl’s most famous matchup, Worster’s constant pounding took its toll on the Irish.
