1940: Impossible Catch
Texas 7, Texas A&M 0
Thursday, November 28, 1940
Texas Memorial Stadium
Noble Doss' "impossible catch" on the third play of the game set up Texas' only touchdown, a Pete Layden one-yard run on the very next play, as the Longhorns ended Texas A&M's 19-game winning streak with a 7-0 victory at Memorial Stadium. The UT win prevented the Aggies from repeating as National Champions and also knocked A&M from a sure Rose Bowl appearance. Texas finished the season 8-2, its best record since 1932.
