Appealing to Sooners fans and college football aficionados generally, this volume documents the history of the University of Oklahoma football team during an era when it dominated the national
scene. Focusing on the development of the "Wishbone" offense and the strong leadership of coach Barry Switzer, the work draws from interviews with former players and coaches to provide deep and
nuanced narrative that describes the classic era of college football both on and off the field. The volume includes several black and white photographs of important figures and classic plays.
