ESPN Films’ SEC Storied Series will be doing a documentary, “Before They Were Cowboys”, on the undefeated 1964 Arkansas Razorbacks football team with Jerry Jones and Jimmy Jonson.

The documentary SEC Storied is a series to give fans an insight into different moments of history in SEC athletics. The 1964 Arkansas Razorbacks football team’s undefeated season is a point in program history every Arkansas fan should know. The season resulted in the only National Championship in Razorback history.

As important as the season was to program history, the members of the team are what is really amazing. This team could possibly feature more individuals that impacted the game of football than any other college roster and staff. Jerry Jones and Jimmy Johnson were both players and the team was coached by Arkansas athletic legend, Frank Broyles.

“Before They Were Cowboys” will tell the backstory of Jones and Johnson leading up to them becoming two of the biggest names in the NFL. The duo would go on to take the Dallas Cowboys to back to back Super Bowl wins. Johnson is one of only six coaches in NFL history to get this amazing accomplishment.
