It’s Been 45 Years, But Namath Remembers Showdown With Texas Like It Was Yesterday
-
And he’s got friends who still remind him.
The 1965 Orange Bowl featured Joe Namath and unbeaten Alabama against a one-loss Texas dog and pony show. The contest has long been considered one of the classic Orange Bowl games. It’s a classic if you’re a Horns’ fan. Texas defeated Alabama, 21-17. But 45 years later, Namath still believes he scored a disputed touchdown that might have changed the outcome. Though he knows it doesn’t matter now, a victory Thursday by the Crimson Tide over Texas will wipe out the memory for a little while.
