Book excerpt: In Game of My Life: Texas Longhorns several prominent Texas players of the past share their fondest single game experience and memories, largely in their own works, with authors Michael Pearle and Bill Frisbe of Inside Texas. Through interviews with such Longhorn greats as Tommy Nobis, Steve Worster, Earl Campbell, Major Applewhite, Robert Brewer, Nathan Vasher, and James Brown, the authors take the reader on a journey back to some of the greatest games in Texas history. The reader will see the 1982 Cotton Bowl through the eyes of MVP Brewer as Texas came back to beat Bear Bryant and Alabama. They will be there at the creation of the Wishbone offense as Worster recounts how the formation sprang to life, and how it felt to run it against Arkansas in the Big Shootout in 1969. They will feel the pressure on Applewhite as he dodged the Nebraska rush to throw the touchdown pass that ended the Huskers 47-game home winning streak on Halloween, 1998. And they will line up under center against OU with James Brown in 1994 as he recounts the feeling of knocking off the Sooners as a freshman quarterback.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book takes a personal look inside some of the biggest moments of Miami’s greatest players as “The U” morphed from a football program nearly disbanded in the 1970s to a national power. Three-time All-American and Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee Ted “the Mad Stork” Hendricks shares his thoughts on single-handedly dominating the LSU Tigers in 1968. Current Georgia head coach Mark Richt recalls getting pelted with oranges in Gainesville in 1980, then taking over for an injured Jim Kelly and leading the Canes to a 21-20 win over the Gators in 1981. Alonzo Highsmith remembers all four of his touchdowns in Miami’s first victory at Notre Dame in 1984, where he wanted to jump out of the stadium . . . and run over that leprechaun. Vinny Testaverde recounts the antics of Melvin Bratton and Alonzo Highsmith, who prank-called Brian Bosworth the morning before No. 1 Oklahoma invaded the Orange Bowl to take on the No. 2 ’Canes, where Testaverde threw four touchdown passes in a 28-16 Heisman-clinching win. Gino Torretta describes the shot that knocked the wind out of him as he delivered the game-winning touchdown pass to Lamar Thomas in Miami’s 19-16 “Wide Right II” victory. There are many more unforgettable moments in Game of My Life Miami Hurricanes that span different eras of Miami football, including conversations with former All-American Eric Winston, 1988 Orange Bowl MVP Bernard “Tiger” Clark, All-American wideout Santana Moss, and record-setting kicker Carlos Huerta. All share close and personal details of what they were thinking and feeling in the best games of their careers.
