I remember that game. Not that I was there or anything, but it was big news. Not just in Texas either. Hell ESPN even showed it about a week later in it's entirety - complete with the homer announcers.

I think TJT went on to win state that year. I know Tyler John Tyler has won state w/in the last 10 years or so.

John Tyler last won State in 1994 (over Austin Westlake - 5A - Div. II), they lost in the 5A Division II finals in 2000 against Katy.

Side note - Tyler's best school - Lee (Robert E. Lee) won the 2004 5A Div. I championship over Spring Westfield biggrin.gif

A better comeback was:

Nov. 22, 1997: Utah State at North Texas

In what must go down as one of the greatest games in North Texas history, the Mean Green scored a touchdown with two seconds left to beat the conference champion and bowl bound Utah State 51-48 at Fouts Field. There were nine lead changes, and UNT, which had scored more than 30 points in an entire game just once all season, scored a school record 32 points in the fourth quarter. Jason Mills ended his UNT career in starring fashion, passing for a career best 377 yards and four touchdowns while rushing for 55 yards and playing the final series with a separated shoulder. Utah State scored the apparent winning touchdown with just 37 seconds left, but Mills drove UNT 67 yards in just 35 seconds and connected with Broderick McGrew on the game winning 26-yard touchdown pass with just two seconds left in the game. The 51 points scored by the Mean Green that day are the second most points scored during the '90s.

Utah State 7 6 21 14 48

North Texas 6 10 3 32 51
