A little southwest conference history and it may sound incredible but it is true. In 1953 Baylor had defeated such teams as California, Arkansas and Miami. They came into the UT game ranked #3 in the country and was competing for the national championship. By a blocked extra point UT won 21 to 20. After that the Baylor season fell apart as they then lost two of their remaining games to Houston 7 -37 and Rice 19 - 41. Rice won the conference championship and defeated Alabama in the Cotton Bowl.
