This is the legacy of Bud Wilkinson and Barry Switzer.

In 2003, OU had built a 77-0 lead over Texas A&M. Late in the fourth quarter A&M fumbled near the own goal line. The OU headcoach told the quarter back that he shouldn’t score. On the snap, the QB took a knee. OU called time out. The OU coach asked the QB what he was doing. The QB said you told me not to score. The head coach said but I didn’t say anything about embarrassing the other team. On the next two snap, the OU running back ran into the pile and fell backwards.

This was Dennis Franchione’s first year as headcoach of Texas A&M. He had resigned as Alabama’s headcoach the previous spring. In the third quarter with the score in the mid fifties, the OU band played “Sweet Home Alabama”.
