    Notes:

    Historian. ?."CBS SportsLine takes a look back at some of the most memorable games in Orange Bowl history.
    Jan. 1, 1965
    Texas 21
    Alabama 17
    The Crimson Tide, led by Joe Namath, had already been named national champion, succeeding the Longhorns, so this first major bowl game played at night was for bragging rights between the last two national champions. The Longhorns jumped to a 21-7 lead, but Namath - who did not start due to a knee injury but came off the bench to finish with an Orange Bowl record 18 pass completions for 255 yards - led the Tide back into contention. He threw a 20-yard TD pass to Ray Perkins in the third quarter, and engineered a drive that resulted in David Ray's field goal early in the fourth to make it 21- 17. Jim Fuller's fumble recovery at the Texas 38 set the Tide up for the potential winning score, and Namath moved Alabama into position with a pair of pass completions that carried to the five. But Steve Bowman was stuffed on three straight carries, and finally, Namath was stopped on a quarterback sneak at the one on fourth down. Alabama had one more possession, but it ended when Namath's future New York Jets teammate, Pete Lammons, picked off one of his passes."

    Pete played in the 1967 All-Star Game. In 1967, he set the AFL, tight end, receiving record: 8 catches for 141 yards, the most yards in a single game. Pete Lammons played on the World Championship football team of 1968, in the most famous Super Bowl of all - now known as Super Bowl III - in which a lowly AFL team beat the best of the NFL for the world championship. To much of America, and certainly to the NFL, the American Football League was somewhere between a minor league and a joke.

    The Jan. 12, 1969, game wasn't called the Super Bowl then. That would come a year later. This game, tickets for it said, was the Third World Championship Game. Ticket cost was $12. It was during this game that quarterback Joe Namath made good on a preposterous guarantee -- that his New York Jets would beat the seemingly unbeatable Baltimore Colts. They did, 16-7. "Maybe Jets tight end Pete Lammons put it best. As NFL commissioner Pete Rozelle entered New York' s locker room to present the trophy, Lammons shouted: "Hey, Pete Welcome to the AFL "
