Okay, this has been driving me crazy so I had to look it up.

The answer is ONE of the following:

1. Played in the Cotton Bowl on 10/14/1962 (no game had EVER been played there before on that exact date )

2. Fielded not one, but TWO players named "Amos" (Marsh and Bullocks)

3. Had the same guy punting AND kicking XPs & FGs (Sam Baker)

or more likely:

4. Not one, but TWO 100 yard TD plays in not just one game, not just one HALF, but in one QUARTER! (4th)

* Marsh 101 yd KO return for TD
* Mike Gaetcher 100 yd INT return for TD

oh, and both were of the "return" variety of TDs
The liver is EVIL! It must be PUNISHED!
