  17. More on Forrest: Career Overview • Position: Offensive Tackle/Center • Years Active: 1967–1969 • Key Achievement: Inducted into the Texas Longhorns Hall of Honor in 2017 • Notable Season: 1969, when he was a key member of the national championship team under coach Darrell Royal. Contributions and Impact • 1969 National Championship: Wiegand was a three-year starter and a critical part of the offensive line during Texas’ 1969 national championship season. His blocking helped power the Longhorns’ famed Wishbone offense, which was instrumental in their 15-14 victory over No. 2 Arkansas in the “Big Shootout,” a game that decided the national title with President Richard Nixon in attendance. A memorable moment captured in a photograph shows Wiegand celebrating with a “jump for joy” after running back Jim Bertelsen’s tying touchdown in that game. • Team Success: During Wiegand’s tenure, Texas compiled a strong record, including a 9–1–1 record in 1968 (Southwest Conference co-champions, Cotton Bowl victory over Tennessee) and a perfect 11–0 season in 1969. His contributions were vital to the team’s dominance in the Southwest Conference, winning titles in 1968 and 1969. • Versatility: Wiegand played both offensive tackle and center, showcasing his adaptability and strength on the line. His high snap in the 1969 Arkansas game was notable, but holder Donnie Wigginton secured it for a successful extra point that clinched the victory. Accolades and Legacy • Hall of Honor: Wiegand’s induction into the Texas Longhorns Hall of Honor in 2017 reflects his lasting impact on the program. This recognition highlights his role as a linchpin of one of Texas’ most celebrated teams. • Team Camaraderie: Wiegand’s connection with his teammates extended beyond the field. He participated in reunions, including a 2013 event at the Clinton Presidential Library for a documentary screening about the Big Shootout, underscoring the enduring bond among the 1969 team members. • Historical Significance: The 1969 team, with Wiegand’s contributions, was ranked the 17th-best team in college football’s 150-year history, and the Big Shootout was listed as the 29th-best game of the era, emphasizing his role in a defining moment for the sport
