      I've always thought the bowl system was absurd all the way back to my childhood. A month off after the season? Playing against a random team in a southern city based on the backroom handshakes of fat cats? A completely subjective vote at the end to crown a mythical national champion? No thanks! Give me the playoffs so it can be decided on the field. Bowl games are being put in their proper place these days. They're glorified exhibitions.

    Watching Billy makes want to nick name him, "high flying Billy Sims". At times he seems to jump into the air to get past defenders instead of digging in low. At other times he shows lightning quick feat when contacted by defenders. It is an attribute other then his running speed, it is unique. All great backs seem have shared attributes, speed/strength/spin move/balance/stop on a dime-full speed again, plus a few unique to them. Billy fits that mold. Sorry to read about failed business ventures many years ago leading to bankruptcy, very glad to read he is doing well now with a chain of restaurants. If I had one in my area I would go. These players put their bodies on the line to offer us sport to watch and at the cost of moving on with other potentially lucrative careers in other area's. I hope you are doing well Billy, you gave it all to us on the field.

And that Orange 🍊 bowl classic was special! At Halftime KC and the Sunshine Band rock the house by playing “Boogie Shoes” and ‘Give it Up” Billy Sims was magnificent! He ran all over the Seminoles. FSU didn’t stand a chance against the powerful running game the Sooners had. Billy Sims was a one man wrecking crew!

    Billy sims was a good back..He could've rushed for twice as many yards in a i formation 💯

      I think that if you have a great tailback, you should either put him in the I-formation, or you should put him in Gus Malzahn's 'spread' offense.

    Sims should have had two trophies in 19 78....... the Heisman Trophy and the national championship trophy.

      Unfortunately, the only thing a lot of people remember about Sims was the fumble vs. Nebraska in '78 when he was going in for the go-ahead, and possibly, winning TD. My grandfather (Mom's dad) had a decopage of Charlie Brown after a loss (baseball game) and Snoopy and Lucy are standing on the ground, staring up @ him, giving him dirty looks. The thought cloud above Charlie Brown's head says, When you're right, no one remembers. When you're wrong, no on forgets!! Human nature. I've been through Sims hometown (Hooks) in East Texas, going to my aunt (dad's sister) in Louisiana. Never met him, but I've heard good things. Another OU running back a lot of people feel should have won the Heisman, at least once, is Joe Washington. Because of the '74 television ban, no one got to see him play. My nephew Robert has met him, I think my brother has, too. Very nice man, I've heard. Peterson should've won it, too. If it hadn't been for Leinart & Bush @ USC. I didn't think Jason White would win it, after that Big 12 Championship loss to K-State. They need to make another DVD about the OU Heisman winners, w/Bradford, Mayfield, & Murray included. I've always believed that the Heisman should be handed out AFTER the bowl games, including the National Championship, are over. Most of the time, the Heisman is the kiss of death. If someone asked me, "Who is the best OU player that won the Heisman? Tough one. 3 RBs, 4 QBs. Different eras. THANK YOU

    College coaches, except at AFA and Navy, can't recruit to a wishbone offense; too bad, when it's run to perfection like this was, it's a thing of beauty and difficult to stop.

    Just think, Billy Sims at that time in Sooner Lord was one of many great running backs at OU. Most of the highlights were from Nebraska and Texas games because TV limit the viewing of teams back in the day. JC Watts later on became a Republican Congressman for Oklahoma.

    6:05 Clearly a forward lateral, by about a yard, but no replay at that time of course.
