- Ole Miss’ Raymond Brown had a day to remember in the 1958 Sugar Bowl, he scored twice, including a record 92-yard run, while adding a passing score and snagging three interceptions - he was the unanimous choise for the Miller Trophy.
Brown’s day began with a one-yard scoring run late in the first quarter; he followed that with a three-yard TD pass to Don Williams in the second quarter, then intercepted a pass at the 20 which led to another Rebel touchdown, making it 19-0 at the half.
As the game wound down and Brown already had a lock on the MVP honor, he dropped back to punt in his own end zone, but before he could boot the ball, saw a Texas end boring in unopposed. Brown bolted, circled right end and began steaming for the Longhorn goal 103 yards from where he had been standing. “I was weary, so weary that I thought about asking for a replacement to do the punting,” Brown said. “I told the fellows, ‘I don’t know if I can kick that ball 20 yards I’m so tired. You’ll have to get downfield in a hurry…I didn’t know I was in the clear ‘til I looked back near midfield and saw all those blue shirts around me. And I kept hearing (teammate) Jackie Simpson yelling, ‘Lateral, Ray, lateral.’ I knew if he wanted the ball there wasn’t anyone else around but us Rebels.”
Ole Miss scored another, meaningless, touchdown after a Texas fumble with 12 seconds remaining.
Brown’s performance, as well as 10 Texas turnovers (six fumbles and four interceptions) spoiled Darrell Royal’s return to the Sugar Bowl as a coach. - Sport
Coach Vaught was the greatest. He took an unknown program and turned it into a perennial powerhouse for a quarter of a century.
This was the age of toughness players then played both ways.
I would like to see more of these old videos of Ole Miss if it's possible
The 1953 and 1955 Ole Miss Sugar Bowls are also on our channel. We'll keep trying to get more up.

Completely different sport compared to today’s game. Nostalgic but no comparison to the athletes playing the modern game.
