9. I never heard Troy sing that
In fact I wasn't aware there was such an album. Needless to say, I'm sure it came out in the heyday of the Cowboys.

Troy Aikman is correct. One more question. What quarterback took over for Aikman(when he was injured) at OU and led the Sooners to the national championship?

11. You're right,...you're wrong again...
I think JC played at OU a few years before Aikman.
Hint....the quarterback that took over for Troy was a freshman and when to high school in CA.

13. You are a genius also!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Holieway is correct. He was a freshman and took over when Aikman got hurt. Once Aikman realized OU was not going to get out of the wishbone, he asked Switzer to help him transfer to UCLA. Barry did everything he could to help with the transfer, since he knew that Aikman would have a better future at UCLA.

21. Regarding Aikman
Last week I was listening to a sports talk show and they were interviewing one of the coaches that had been on the staff at OU when Aikman was there. He said in his 30 years of coaching he had never seen a quarterback throw the ball any better than Aikman. However, Aikman's skills didn't fit with running the option. My how times have changed at OU...from rushing for 400-500 yards a game to now passing for 400 yards a game.

string or anything other than a starter again (at least until the end of his career when Steve Young stepped up.)

75. Miami's mascot is the Ibis
A big goofy bird. They changed the mascot uniform several years ago to make him look more menacing.

Damn, I knew the answers to these questions, but work kept me away until too late.

46. Eric Crouch ran one 90+ yards a few years ago.
That's the longest I remember, but I bet there is one close to 100 yards.

51. He later played for the Steelers
He was a third string QB behind Bradshaw but played WR quite often. He even caught a 90 yard pass from Bradshaw in the NFL.

you are probaly thinking about, but you are 20 years off. Stewart was never a backup to Bradshaw but Stewart did play a little bit of Wide Reciever in his pro career.
