- 1961 Classic: Duke 7, Arkansas 6
Lance Alworth literally ran circles around Duke defenders ... running, receiving, punting and returning kicks. He made the impossible look easy. In the third quarter, Arkansas was forced to punt and Alworth had to leap to control a high snap from center. Alworth eluded a swarming group of tacklers, and while running at top speed he dropped the ball and kicked it. The football angled toward the corner and went out of bounds at the two. The Blue Devils couldn't move and Alworth again stepped up for Arkansas. He fielded the ensuing punt near mid-field and uncorked an electrifying 49-yard touchdown run. The missed PAT attempt proved to be the Hogs' downfall. Duke rallied to win the game, 7-6. However, Alworth's phenomenal heroics became legend in Cotton Bowl lore.
