 This game is notable as one of the biggest upsets in Razorback football history.Ironically, University of Arkansas alumnus Barry Switzer coached the Sooners in the contest, and late in the game, future Arkansas head coach Houston Nutt played quarterback for Holtz.Arkansas was selected as a co-national champion for the 1977 season by the Foundation for the Analysis of Competitions and Tournaments (FACT), along with Notre Dame and Texas, but the university does not claim this title.
