OU Football Tradition | 1956 National Champions

In 1956, teams were prohibited from making bowl appearances in consecutive years, but it made no difference to Oklahoma.
 
This group of Sooners finished 10-0 and led the nation in total offense while logging six shutouts, including a 40-0 blanking of Paul Hornung and Notre Dame.
 
Balance was perhaps the key quality for OU. Two Sooners won player of the year honors. Jerry Tubbs captured the Walter Camp Trophy, while Tommy McDonald won The Sporting News' top honor.
