OU 21, Texas 16
Like the game at Florida State, the defenses control the pace of this one. But in the fourth quarter, OU’s experience is the difference as the Sooners make enough plays late to pull out a win.
Pick to click: Attributed in part to injuries (fractured shoulder blade, sprained ankle) receiver Ryan Broyles has been relatively quiet in the Cotton Bowl in the past. But with Texas gambling with the blitz, Broyles breaks out this game and ties the NCAA record for career receptions with 12 catches and a touchdown.
