The 1948 Orange Bowl featured the Kansas Jayhawks and the Georgia Tech Yellow Jackets.
Kansas had completed their second straight Big Six Conference title in their final year under Sauer, and were appearing in their first ever bowl game.
But the Jayhawks would not back down as Evans caught a touchdown pass and narrowed the lead to 20-14, as Kansas was in position to drive for the win.
But with :37 seconds left, quarterback Lynne McNutt fumbled on a quarterback sneak and in the ensuing pile, it was determined that Rollo Phillips of Georgia Tech recovered the ball, clinching the victory.
Georgia Tech would go to two more Orange Bowls under Dodd's tenure before his retirement in 1966.
