The upcoming 2019 season marks the 50-year anniversary of the Longhorns' storied 1969 National Championship run.

As Texas looked to secure what would become its first of two national titles in back-t0-back seasons, the Longhorns made a historic run to the National Championship in 1969 when former quarterback James Street and head coach Darrell Royal led Texas to the program's second-ever national title.

The No. 1 ranked Longhorns faced No. 2 ranked Arkansas in the 1969 regular season finale, and put up a performance to remember for Texas fans in what was coined the 'Game of the Century.' After trailing the Razorbacks 14-0, the Longhorns fought back to win 15-14. In the locker room after the game, Royal and his team were awarded a plaque symbolic of a National Championship by President Richard Nixon, who was in attendance for the 'Game of the Century.'

The win over Arkansas punched Texas' ticket to the Cotton Bowl for the season finale against Notre Dame. Trailing the Irish 17-14 in the fourth quarter, Street took matters into his own hands and led the offense down the field 76 yards for a touchdown to take a 21-14 lead and ended the year with a perfect 11-0 season record.

Texas football will honor the 1969 National Championship season Saturday, Oct. 19 when the Longhorns host Kansas at Darrell K Royal — Texas Memorial Stadium.
