1945 Cotton Bowl Classic Recap

DALLAS -- The first bowl appearance for Oklahoma A&M turned into a pleasant experience for the orange and black faithful as the Aggies used a season-ending 28-6 win over Oklahoma as a springboard to a dominating bowl performance.
Oklahoma A&M sophomore tailback whiz Bob Fenimore, the nation's total offense leader, lived up to All-America billings as the Cowboys bounced the local team from TCU, 34-0, in the third-largest margin of victory in Cotton Bowl history. Fenimore scored on runs of one and seven yards and completed 6-of-13 passes for 136 yards. Fullback Jim Spavital powered his way for 120 yards, including a 52-yard scoring bolt.
Meanwhile, the Pokes defense smothered TCU, not allowing the Horned Frogs past midfield until the second half. Coach Jim Lookabaugh's muscular single-wing offense harvested 494 yards of total offense, while TCU could manage only 105. In the fourth period, A&M's reserves took over with Joe Thomas and Mack Creager adding touchdowns on short plunges.
The Aggies finished the year with an 8-1 record. It was their best win total since the 1932 squad won nine games.
Fenimore, Neill Armstrong (who would later coach the Chicago Bears) and tackle Ralph Foster were all Aggies who were named as the game's outstanding players. Fenimore was inducted into the Cotton Bowl Hall of Fame in the spring of 2007.
