The 1969 Sugar Bowl was the 35th edition of the college football bowl game , played at Tulane Stadium in New Orleans , Louisiana , on Wednesday, January 1. It featured the fourth-ranked Georgia Bulldogs of the Southeastern Conference (SEC), and the #9 Arkansas Razorbacks of the Southwest Conference (SWC).[1] [2]
Underdog Arkansas won 16–2,[3] [4] Chuck Dicus was named the outstanding player after catching twelve passes.[5]
Arkansas [ edit ]
Guard Jim Barnes was a consensus All-American for the Razorbacks in 1968. Bill Burnett's 16 touchdowns scored tied him for eighth-most points scored nationally. The Hogs lost only once, to the #17 Texas Longhorns , 39–29. The Razorbacks and Longhorns thusly shared the Southwest Conference crown for 1968, but Texas received the bid to the Cotton Bowl based upon the head-to-head victory.
Georgia [ edit ]
Vince Dooley 's Georgia Bulldogs went 8–0–2 and won the SEC , only tying Tennessee and Houston . The Bulldogs' ferocious defense was anchored by consensus All-American end Bill Stanfill .
Game summary [ edit ]
Georgia's number-one ranked defense matched up against the ninth-ranked offense of Arkansas on New Year's Day in New Orleans . The first game of a major bowl tripleheader (Rose , Orange ) on NBC , it kicked off at 1 pm CST .[1] [2]

After a scoreless third quarter, White kicked field goals of 24 and 31 yards in the fourth quarter to seal the Arkansas win at 16–2.
