I remember watching that game.  A real nail-biter no matter which team was your rooting interest.

Best part about that game was it really allowed us to dump Sherman. Great talent evaluator, great guy, but horrible game day coach.

On that subject, my brother and I were at the OU @ A&M game in 2006.  OU was 6-2, A&M was 8-1.  OU made a 4th-down conversion late in the game and preserved a 17-16 win.  A lot of Aggie fans told us on the way out that Stoops had outcoached Franchione, and that they wanted a new head coach.
For myself, I didn't think that Stoops coached all that well in that game.  After OU went up 14-3, he made what I thought was an ill-advised decision to try an onside kick.  I said it was a bad call even before the kickoff, which failed.  My brother thought it had been a good decision even after it had failed.  A&M used the momentum boost and the short field to score a quick TD to make it 14-10.  After that, it was just a grinding stalemate, where any mistake might be critical.

On the other hand, I thought that we should have punted (we were at our own 29) rather than try to convert the 4th-down play.  My brother disagreed again, and this time it worked for OU.  I think that we converted on the play, but A&M was called for a personal foul and we took the penalty.  IMO, had we not gone for the onside kick, I don't think that the game would have come down to having to make a crucial call on 4th down.
So Franchione got fired after the following season, and you guys got Sherman.

I remember that game because we were basically two or three plays from winning the division. OU being one game, the other escapes my memory. 

we had a big full back, his name escapes me but this guy was unstoppable in short yardage goal line situations. It was like 4th and one or some such. Maybe 4th and goal. Instead of going to your go to guy Fran got cute and of course we got stuffed short. Many fans were very angry and rightfully so. He misused one of the best QBs ever go set foot on campus in Reggie McNeal and set all time records for losing. Horrible, horrible coach. 

Jorvorskie Lane was a beast.  Pretty much a guaranteed TD in short goalline situations.

I remember Javorskie Lane as well.  I couldn't believe they stopped feeding him the ball because OU had no answer for him.
