Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic

Statistics:
Rushing: 31 carries, 129 yards, 1 TD
Receiving: 2 receptions, 73 yards, 1 TD

Bo Jackson, college football's 50th Heisman Trophy winner, more than lived up to expectations with a memorable performance in the Cotton Bowl Classic's Golden Anniversary game. Carrying the bulk of the offensive burden for Auburn, Jackson set a Classic record with 31 rushing attempts while piling up 129 yards. The game was only minutes old when he scored his first touchdown on a five-yard run. But the play that Jackson will be remembered for most was a routine screen pass that he turned into a spectacular 73-yard scoring play. After catching the pass near the left boundary, he turned up field and raced through the heart of the Aggie defense. There was no catching him. Even in defeat, Jackson was brilliant and added yet another chapter to his legendary career at Auburn.
