Fenimore, Reynolds and 38 other Cowboys played the game of the season in Norman, November 24, to send the Aggies into their second consecutive New Year's day bowl game, with a resounding 47-0 thrashing of the Sooners. The victory, which catapulted the Punchers into their first unbeaten season In 43 years of footbalt also constituted the worst defeat ever rung up against a Sooner team.

He played his best game of the year.
