The 1967 Sun Bowl featured the UTEP Miners and the Ole Miss Rebels.
Bruce Newell gave the Rebels their only score of the day on a touchdown run set up by Mac McClure's interception return.
Trailing 7–0 in the fourth, Stevens went to work, leading the Miners on a 76-yard drive culminating with a touchdown pass to David Kerns to tie the game.
A forced fumble by Fred Carr recovered by Dennis Bishop set up the Miners in the position to win the game, and Larry McHenry scored four plays later with 7:52 left.
But Ole Miss could not make a successful drive as UTEP held on to win their second Sun Bowl in three years.
