Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic

Texas defensive ace Tom Campbell erased all doubt that in pressure-packed situations lightning can strike twice. After batting down four passes and picking off two others against Tennessee in the 1969 Classic, Campbell stepped onto an even bigger stage as a senior. In a month's time, the Longhorn defender came up with a pair of last-second interceptions that are firmly entrenched in Texas football lore. In the "Big Shootout" he picked off an Arkansas pass that preserved a 15-14 victory and sent the top-ranked Horns packing for Dallas to face Notre Dame. With under a minute to play and Texas holding a 21-17 lead, Mr. Clutch stepped up to do it all over again. Campbell intercepted Notre Dame's final pass to ice the game and the national title for Texas.
