[3][4] The 1960 Gator Bowl featured Georgia Tech, led by Bobby Dodd, against his protege Frank Broyles, who coached Arkansas, and was a former GT alumnus.
The Yellow Jackets and Razorbacks had one common opponent, the SMU Mustangs (5–4–1), who Georgia Tech defeated 16–12 and lost to the Arkansas, 17–14.
Georgia Tech began the game by controlling the ball for over eleven minutes before failing a field goal from the Arkansas 8-yard line.
Joe Paul Alberty scored from one yard out on the ensuing Razorback possession to tie the game at 7.
Two members were later inducted into the Gator Bowl Hall of Fame, Maxie Baughan, a center and linebacker named an All-American during 1959 from Georgia Tech, and Frank Broyles, the head coach of Arkansas.
