Troy Kenneth Aikman was born in West Covina, California on November 21, 1966. By the time he was in elementary school, Aikman looked the part of a Southern California kid. He had blonde hair and blue eyes and participated in sports, specifically baseball, and he aspiredto become a pro baseball player. That’s why Aikman was devastated when his paren...
When he suited up for the Henryetta Hens football team as a quarterback, the coaches could see that Aikman’s talent was head and shoulders above the rest. Since Henryetta was a small town with a small school, Aikman became the starter immediately. The Hens weren’t a great team, but Aikman was obviously talented. He had an arm that drew the interest...
In the spring of his senior year, Aikman was considering scholarship opportunities from several schools. One of the offers was from head coach Barry Switzer of the Oklahoma Sooners. The Sooners were known as a team that loved to run, and they ran a lot. That was hard for Aikman to stomach because he thoroughly enjoyed passing the ball. However, Swi...
During his freshman season in 1984, Aikman mainly rode the pine as a backup, getting just enough playing time to pass for 41 yards and three interceptions. In 1985, Aikman became the starter for Oklahoma and found himself running the Wishbone offense, something he didn’t particularly care for. Switzer sprinkled in enough passing plays where Aikman ...
By early 1986, Aikman knew his days in Norman, Oklahoma, were numbered. There was no doubt he was a talented quarterback. However, Holieway was a dual-threat star who could run Switzer’s Wishbone to perfection. Given that information, Aikman had a heart-to-heart conversation with his coach. Switzer wanted to keep both quarterbacks and mentioned yea...
Due to NCAA transfer rules, Aikman had to sit out the 1986 season and learn the UCLA playbook. In 1987, he became the starter and was surrounded by talented teammates, including running backs Eric Ball and Gaston Green and receiver Flipper Anderson. That year, he was finally able to showcase his arm. Aikman passed for 2,527 yards, 17 touchdowns, an...
While Aikman and UCLA were in Dallas for the Cotton Bowl in early 1989, a contingent of Dallas Cowboys personnel was on hand to watch him. The local media was already calling Aikman the “next quarterback of the Cowboys.” Even the great Tom Landry himself was present to watch him in action. Approximately six weeks later, however, Landry was no longe...
Looking back at his rookie year, it didn’t help Aikman that Irvin missed most of the season due to Irvin’s ACL tear in Week 6. However, “the Playmaker” returned from his injuries in Week 4 of the 1990 season, ready to connect again with Aikman. In the 1990 Draft, the Cowboys used their extra picks from the Walker trade to select Florida running bac...
In just a few short years, Jones and Johnson had turned the fortunes of the Cowboys around in dramatic fashion. Only three seasons after going 1-15, Dallas won 13 games in 1992 behind Aikman’s career-best 3,445 yards, 23 touchdowns, and 14 interceptions. It also helped that the ’92 draft brought Kevin Smith, Robert Jones, Jimmy Smith, and Darren Wo...
Dallas didn’t let up in 1993 and used their success the previous year to springboard into a new season. Things didn’t start well for the franchise when Emmitt Smith held out the first two games of the year (including a Week 2 loss to Buffalo) and Dallas began 0-2. However, when he returned, “the Triplets” of Aikman, Smith, and Irvin caught fire. Ai...
