The Texas Longhorns expected the game to hinge on how well they could contain Navy's slippery quarterback, Roger Staubach. So in his preparations for the artful Roger, Longhorns coach Darrell Royal employed a variety of scramblers to lead his scout team in practice. It paid off, as UT held Staubach to minus 47 yards rushing Defensively, Navy dared Texas to throw the ball, which the Horns did with splendid results. Duke Carlisle tossed first-half touchdowns of 58 and 63 yards to Phil Harris, and Texas never looked back. One Navy supporter did his best to find a silver lining. "I'm going over to the Texas dressing room right now and congratulate those boys," said Rear Adm. Charles Kirkpatrick, the Naval Academy superintendent. "Maybe a few of them might want to join the Navy."
