On this date in 1967, Bill Hobbs, Aggie Linebacker ( Amarillo Tascosa ) intercepted a pass in the end zone as TCU was threatening to score and returned it 100 yards for an Aggie Touchdown to the opposite end zone. The game was played in Amon G. Carter stadium in Fort Worth. Hobbs was twice an All-American linebacker and went on to play with the Philadelphia Eagles and New England. He died in 2004.
As a footnote, does any Aggie remember that game and recall the stadium lights going out and leaving the field in darkness for a short period of time. I recall the announcer for the Humble Football network mentioned it when it happened.
By the way, the Aggies defeated TCU 20-0 and went on to win the next 5 games, win the SWC championship and defeat Alabama in the the 1968 Cotton Bowl. One of my favorite all time Aggie football players.
