Walt Garrison, who led the Big 8 in rushing as an Oklahoma State Cowboy, won a Super Bowl with the Dallas Cowboys, and in …A few years ago, Ken Houston went to a Texas Sports Hall of Fame induction weekend. Signing autographs was a familiar face. So, Houston got in line with the other fans.
That play became one of the iconic moments of “Monday Night Football,” along with Earl Campbell’s 81-yard touchdown run against the Miami Dolphins in 1978, Bo Jackson’s 91-yard dash in 1987 against the Seattle Seahawks and so many other indelible moments. Houston, 78, didn’t really know Garrison, save for that moment in the autograph line. But he knows the two have been connected as a result of that play, that night, in Washington.It was a Hall of Fame career for the safety — 12 Pro Bowls, 12 All-Pro selections, named to the NFL’s 100th Anniversary All-Time team, the NFL’s All-Decade team of the 1970s and inducted into the Washington Commanders Ring of Fame.
