Occasional Countdown to Kickoff – Razorbacks Thump Sooners in 1978 Orange Bowl

As we count down the weeks and days until the start of the college football season, we thought it would be fun to provide an occasional look at some great games of the past. If you’re like some of us, anything we can do to get a football fix until the real season starts helps with the withdrawals we face this time of year.

You can see the first post here – the Razorbacks whipping the Longhorns in Fayetteville in 1981.

And last week’s entry, a classic coach’s show featuring Larry Lacewell, is available by clicking this link.

So here you go college football fans. The third “Occasional Countdown to Kickoff.” This week we feature “Lou Holtz – the Magician,” for his Razorbacks football team’s victory over No. 2 Oklahoma in the 1978 Orange Bowl. Nobody expected it, but it was a beat down to be sure.

Enjoy. We’re one week closer to kickoff!
