FAYETTEVILLE — Jerry Jones, the Dallas Cowboys owner who played college football at Arkansas, will be inducted into the Cotton Bowl Hall of Fame on Oct. 5.
Jones, an offensive guard, played in the Cotton Bowl as a senior on New Year’s Day 1965, when the Razorbacks defeated Nebraska 10-7 to cap an undefeated season. Jones was on the field for Arkansas' 80-yard touchdown drive late in the fourth quarter that sealed the win.
The Football Writers Association of America later named Arkansas its national champion for the 1964 season.
Jones' most significant contribution to the game has come as the Cowboys’ owner.
