Davis led the Sooners to a 32–1–1 (.956) record as their starting quarterback, and holds the NCAA record for winning percentage in that position. With Davis at the helm of the wishbone offense, the Sooners won consecutive national titles in 1974 and 1975.[1][2][3]
Davis was later a commentator for ABC and CBS college football telecasts in the 1970s and 1980s.
Davis died at age 60 when the small jet in which he was a passenger crashed on approach in South Bend, Indiana, on March 17, 2013.[4] The NTSB report later found that Davis, an experienced pilot but not in the Beechcraft Premier I being used that day, was allowed to fly the plane by the pilot; as the plane neared its destination, Davis inadvertently cut power to the engines, and the pilot was unable to complete an emergency landing successfully.[5][6]
