Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic

His name was Charles McClendon, but everyone knew him as Cholly Mac. At the Cotton Bowl, the LSU coach was known as a giant killer. Twice, he guided the Tigers to victories over undefeated teams. In his first bowl appearance at the 1963 Classic, McClendon's seventh-ranked Tigers posted a 13-0 shutout of No. 4 Texas. Three years later, LSU was back in Dallas for the 1966 Cotton Bowl with plans of pulling off the improbable one more time. McClendon's victim was No. 2 Arkansas, a team riding high with a 22-game winning streak. The unranked Tigers played flawlessly and denied the Razorbacks' national championship bid with a 14-7 upset. Cholly Mac was a fierce competitor and at the Cotton Bowl he always met the challenge.
