Eric pounded the Pittsburgh “D” into submission that day, with 124 yards, and carried SMU to its first Cotton Bowl win in 34 years. His bold blue jersey is testament to his bruising running style as shown through its multiple team repairs and scuff marks. “SMU 19” fills the chest while “Dickerson 19” covers the verso. Each shoulder is screened with the Cotton Bowl logo while his number “19” occupies the sleeves. Tail tagging is from “Southland Athletic MFG CO.”
