No Anderson, no problem
My favorite memory in Texas Tech football history was in 1966, the year after Donny Anderson graduated. Tech had a losing season going into the last game which was with the Arkansas Razorbacks to be played in Lubbock. Arkansas was something like a 19-point favorite and only had to beat lowly Tech to be the SWC representative in the Cotton Bowl.
Tech played a good first half and only trailed Arkansas by a touchdown or so. But early in the second half, a Tech linebacker intercepted a pass and either ran it in or at least gave Tech the opportunity to score a touchdown.
