TULSAHURRICANE.COM 9191 1895: THE LEGACY BEGINS The legacy of Tulsa football began when the Bacone School for Indians and Henry Kendall College, which later became The University of Tulsa, did battle in 1895. It was one of the first football games in the Indian Territory and the game caused a lot of excitement within the student bodies of each school as well as the citizens of the Territory.

People in the Oklahoma Territory were excited by the prospects of having football That was the type of domination Kendall experienced in 1916.

In 1914, McBirney led the team to a 7-2 record with five shutout victories, and followed that season with a 6-1-1 record in 1915.

It wasn’t just McBirney who jump-started the football program. Ivan Grove, who was one player instrumental in building the the Kendall football program, was the key to undefeated seasons of 1916 and 1919. He quarterbacked the Presbyterians from 1914 through 1916, and again in 1919.

During the 1916 season, Grove and receivers Virgil Jones and Madison ”Puny” Blevins developed the controversial “tower play”. The play called for Jones and Blevins to sprint down field, Blevins would stop, lift Jones onto his shoulders, and Grove would toss the ball to Jones. At that time, there were no rules against such a play But it only worked once for the Kendallites in a 117-0 thrashing of Missouri School of Mines. Henry Kendall College 1916 Football Team

As the Hurricane adapted to its new surroundings, the team’s prosperity grew. Henderson’s 1933 team was the highlight of the decade.

The Golden Hurricane played seven games that season, posting victories over rivals Oklahoma, Kansas and Arkansas. The Hurricane also soundly beat Oklahoma Central, Washburn and George Washington. The lone setback TU suffered was at the hands of Texas A&M. Wins over such strong competition caused the team of 1933 to be called one of the best in Tulsa football history.

When Henderson decided to leave his coaching post in 1935, TU went in search of a successor. What they found was yet another Rose Bowl champion coach from Southern Methodist University named Vic Hurt. At first, Hurt didn’t accept the position, but with some persuasive recruiting talk and a visit to campus, he accepted.

Hurt’s tenure lasted three seasons and after the 1938 season, he stepped down TULSA FOOTBALL GETS A NEW HOME to take the head coaching post at Kansas.

The stadium was built to hold TO ACCOMPLISH THAT FEAT 15,000 spectators, and the north and south ends were left open for future growth. Capacity now stands at 40,235.

The balance was raised by of the University of Tulsa Golden Hurricane. Players like Glenn Tulsa businessmen by organizing the Stadium Corporation of Tulsa. Dobbs, Sax Judd, Bobby Jack Stuart and N.A. Keithley, combined with the coaching of Frnka meant five straight bowl berths. Tulsa became the first school to go to five straight New Years Day Bowl Games, starting with the Sun Bowl on January 1, 1942. Two Sugar Bowls, the Orange Bowl and Oil Bowl followed.

Frnka brought a fervent love of the game and a strong desire to learn as much as he could about the game to Tulsa. He built a national football powerhouse en route to a career record of 40-9-2 in his five years.

The bowl appearances began in 1941 as the Hurricane posted a 7-2 regular season record. By early December, there had been no talk of a bowl bid for the Hurricane. A 13-6 loss to Arkansas seemed to have dashed any bowl dreams the team may have had. However, on December 4, word came that TU had in fact been invited to the Sun Bowl to play Texas Tech in El Paso, Texas on January 1, 1942.

Tech was favored in the game, but that fact did not intimidate the Hurricane. As the waning minutes of the game approached and the game still scoreless, Dobbs connected with Judd who fell over the goal line for the games only points. Tulsa emerged victorious from its first bowl game.

Tulsa’s bowl dynasty gained strength in 1942. At the end of the regular season, the Hurricane had the only perfect record in college football going at 10-0.

It had been rumored that the Hurricane was in line for the Rose Bowl, but when Coach Frnka pictured the invitation came, it was from New Orleans and the Sugar Bowl. Tulsa’s oppo- with Glenn Dobbs, 1941. nent would be Tennessee.

Tulsa led the nation in passing for five straight seasons — 1962, 1963, 1964, 1965 and 1966.

Although the 1963 season produced only a 5-5 record, Tulsa’s offense, spearheaded by quarterback Jerry Rhome, averaged 199.3 yards passing per contest.

Until 1964, college football was dominated by running attacks. The nation saw Lineman Marvin Matuszak Tulsa’s vaunted offensive attack in 1964 as the best passing team the nation had (1951) was Tulsa’s first ever seen. two-time All-American.

For 30 years teams avoided passing the ball because they thought running the ball was a better way to play the game.

What took years for college football to develop, Rhome and company obliterated in two years. In 1964, the Rhome-Twilley connection broke 20 NCAA records for total offense, passing, receiving and scoring. The notoriety those impressive statistical numbers gave the two Hurricane standouts helped lead them to back- to-back Heisman Trophy runner-up finishes, Rhome in 1964 and Twilley in 1965.

In the 1960s, Tulsa took the collegiate passing game to a level never seen before. The Hurricane averaged nearly 318 yards in 1964, and increased that average to 346 yards a year later. Under the tutelage of Dobbs, it was Rhome, Anderson and Twilley who helped revolutionize the way college football was played. PLAYERS NFL TALENT FLOURISHES The 1970s continued the wealth of talent going through the Hurricane program and entering the professional ranks. Some of the players Tulsa turned out that decade went into the NFL and became legends of the game. Names like Steve Largent and Drew Pearson went on to successful careers in the NFL. STAFF When F.A. Dry took over as head coach at mid-season 1972, replacing Claude Gibson after six games, he was faced with the immediate challenge of creating an understanding of his philosophy. That philosophy. He believed that strong organization was key the to a successful team.

From the moment Dry took the helm, things began to improve for the Hurricane. His first game came the night after he accepted the head coaching position. Before that game, TU had gone 1-5, but upset Louisville and won its final two games to post REVIEW a 3-2 record under Dry, and 4-7 on the year.

of all-time. Drew Pearson signed a free agent contract in 1972 with the Dallas OPPONENTS Cowboys where he established himself as one of the best receivers in National Football League history.

After two years as Tulsa’s quarterback, he went to the receiving end of the ball and led TU to the Missouri Valley Conference championship in 1971. As a receiver for the Hurricane, Pearson caught 55 passes for 1,119 yards placing him tenth in receiving in TU history. His senior season, Pearson averaged 20.9 yards per catch scoring five touchdowns. Pearson was signed with the Dallas Cowboys as a free agent in 1972. HISTORY Steve Largent, who would become an NFL Hall of Fame inductee, was favorably compared to Howard Twilley while at Tulsa. In 1974 and again in 1975, Largent led the nation in touchdown receptions with 14 touchdowns each year. He was a two-time selection for the all-MVC team and was named to the Associated Press second team All-American squad in 1975. Largent averaged 17.5 yards per catch for his career, and caught 51 passes for 1,000 yards his senior season.

In 1977, offensive lineman Steve August was a first round draft selection of the Seattle Seahawks. RECORDS

These players and others, along with the man who coached them made a mark on Tulsa football history. Some made a mark on the NFL as well. The teams of the 1970s helped Tulsa build a reputation for developing quality players who can make a difference on a team.

TULSAHURRICANE.COM 97 NO JUSTICE John Cooper took over the Tulsa football program in 1977, and suffered through a 3-8 campaign, but in 1978 he rebounded the troops for an impressive 9-2 record.

Perhaps one of the best football teams was assembled in 1982. The only blemish on the season was a loss to nationally-ranked Arkansas. However, Tulsa’s 10-1 season and top-20 national ranking was not good enough to impress Bowl scouts.

In that same season, college football fans new about a tandem of running backs at SMU, nicknamed the Pony Express ññ Eric Dickerson and Craig James. But what college football fans may not have known was that Tulsa has the only other pair of running backs in the country to rush for over for over 1,000 yards each — Micheal Gunter and Ken Lacy. In a takeoff of the Pony Express, Tulsa’s tandem was dubbed the “Palomino Express”.

That season, Tulsa was not the only 10-1 team snubbed from the Bowl picture, as New Mexico was in the same situation as the Hurricane. Tulsa and New Mexico fans cried out for justice, and Justice is just what they received.

Tulsa and New Mexico would square off in the Justice Bowl on December 19, 1982. At 1:15 p.m. that afternoon, radio stations in the two cities carried the play- by-play of a fictitious matchup between the two schools.
