Texas A&M vs Tulane in 1940 Sugar Bowl

[Phil C]

I came across this gem by accident. This was the 1940 Sugar Bowl game the the Aggies won over a very good Tulane team 14 - 13. It was their 1939 team that had a perfect record and voted National Champions by the major polls. I am 99% sure the Aggies are in white. If anyone can help please do so and maybe have information where there are more highlights about this great team. Also there is no sound in it but at least we can follow the presented plays. Enjoy.

It is in six parts and has the whole game even though it is too bad there is no narration but still it is great that it is posted. I would watch it before it is taken off. A great defensive team by two great teams. A blocked extra point was the difference.

I wish there could be some older UT games available on youtube like this one.

I have only watched part 1 but the Ags were passing alot more than I expected.
