#6 Texas 14, #3 Alabama 12
Friday, January 1, 1982
Cotton Bowl (Dallas, Texas)

It was a play that looked as though it was drawn up on dirt in the playground — so simple, yet so
effective. No. 3 Texas was trailing No. 6 Alabama 10-0 in the fourth quarter, when fans began to
wonder if the Longhorns would ever score. But Robert Brewer’s quarterback draw on third-and- long
surprised everyone in the stadium. The 30-yard touchdown run, that saw Brewer score untouched,
gave Texas the momentum it needed to pull off a 14-12 victory in the 1982 Cotton Bowl.
