FAYETTEVILLE — Bobby Burnett scored arguably the most significant touchdown ever for the Arkansas football team.
Burnett's 3-yard run in the end zone with 4:41 left in the 1965 Cotton Bowl lifted Arkansas to a 10-7 victory over Nebraska and completed an 11-0 season for the 1964 Razorbacks.
The touchdown run capped an 80-yard drive for the Razorbacks after Nebraska had taken a 7-3 lead.
"It was on an option play," Arkansas quarterback Fred Marshall said. "I took the ball and sprinted to the right, and then I flipped it back to Bobby and he went airborne and just got over all the defensive guys there.
