Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic

In 1968, Coach Gene Stallings had Aggie fans sitting on the edge of their seats. No one could believe what was happening. Unranked Texas A&M was outplaying No. 8 Alabama. Stallings utilized the element of surprise to keep his former coach, the legendary Paul "Bear" Bryant, completely off balance. Stallings told his quarterback to air out the stadium, and by halftime the Aggies were up 13-10. A&M scored again in the third quarter to take a 20-10 advantage, but everyone knew that Bama would come storming back. The Crimson Tide scored once more to narrow the gap to 20-16, but they couldn't beat Stallings' Aggies. This time around it was the pupil who outfoxed his mentor.
