The football gods work in mysterious ways. It's a strange twist of fate that Oklahoma head coach Barry Switzer and Miami head coach Jimmy Johnson would meet in the 1988 Orange Bowl—and then go on to be the Dallas Cowboys' next two head coaches from 1989 through 1997...not to mention both win Super Bowls with the franchise! Switzer's Sooners went an undefeated 11-0 to win the 1987 Big 8 Championship. This white-panel football features 66 blue-ink "9-10" signatures highlighted by Switzer, Anthony Phillips, Jamelle Holieway, Charles Thompson, Adrian Cooper, Kevin Thompson, Chris Wilson, Darrell Reed, Charlie Sadler (DL coach), Merv Johnson (OL coach) and Gary Gibbs (def. coordinator). A handful of surface cracks affect the top two panels, otherwise the ball is extremely clean. Auction LOA from JSA.
