DALLAS -- “Tune in your television to the Cotton Bowl and you’ll laugh yourself silly…Texas is the biggest fraud ever perpetrated on the football public,” said Eastern writer Myron Cope.

Texas was ranked No. 1 by the AP and UPI, had already been awarded the MacArthur Trophy by the National Football Foundation, and carried a perfect 10-0 record into the showdown against second-ranked Navy.

However, the Eastern press insisted that the 9-1 Midshipmen, guided by Heisman Trophy winner Roger Staubach, were the best team in college football, despite their 32-28 loss to SMU at the end of the regular season.

Needless to say, Cope was wrong.

Duke Carlisle, one of the Longhorns’ defensive stars in the 1962 Cotton Bowl, upstaged Staubach and stole the show. Moved to quarterback at the start of the season, Carlisle became the first UT quarterback to throw for 200 yards in a bowl game as he amassed 213 on just seven completions and Texas rolled to a 28-6 victory on national television.

Texas won the toss and six plays into its opening drive Carlisle connected with Phil Harris for a 58-yard score. Six minutes into the second frame, the Carlisle-Harris combo struck again, this time for a 63-yard touchdown that put the Longhorns up 14-0.

A fumble recovery at the Navy 34 set up UT’s third touchdown -- a nine-yard Carlisle run that gave Texas an insurmountable 21-0 halftime lead. Harris would finish with five receptions for 157 yards and the two scores, while Carlisle was UT’s rushing leader with 54 yards on 11 carries.

As spectacular as those two individuals were, the Texas defense, sparked by Outland Trophy winner Scott Appleton, turned in one of the finest performances in bowl game history. The Longhorns held a Navy offense that averaged better than 31 points per game to just six points and minus 14 yards rushing.
