Шаблон:Use mdy dates Шаблон:Infobox NCAA football yearly game The 1963 Cotton Bowl Classic was the 27th edition of the college football bowl game, played at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas, Texas, on Tuesday, January 1. Part of the 1962–63 bowl game season, the game featured the fourth-ranked Texas Longhorns of the Southwest Conference (SWC) and the #7 LSU Tigers of the Southeastern Conference (SEC).[1] LSU shut out the Longhorns, 13–0.[2][3][4]
Teams
Texas
Шаблон:Main The Longhorns were making their second of three consecutive Cotton Bowl appearances after winning the Southwest Conference again. They were unbeaten, with a tie at Rice.
LSU
Шаблон:Main The Tigers, who finished third in the Southeastern Conference, lost to Ole Miss and also tied Rice. LSU had won the Orange Bowl the previous season. They were making their first Cotton Bowl appearance since 1947, a scoreless tie (against Arkansas). This was head coach Charlie McClendon's first year at LSU, where he stayed through 1979.
Game summary
LSU quarterback Lynn Amedee's 23-yard field goal gave the Tigers a 3–0 halftime lead. Earlier, Texas' shoeless Tony Crosby had missed from 42 yards, which led to the scoring drive. This was the first field goal in the Cotton Bowl in 21 years.
Amedee recovered a Longhorn fumble at the 37 early in the third quarter and reserve quarterback Jimmy Field scored five plays later on a 22-yard touchdown run. Buddy Hamic recovered a Texas fumble to set up another Amedee field goal thirteen plays later, and the Tigers kept the Longhorns off the scoreboard.[2][3][5]
