Oklahoma knocks off Oklahoma State

Monday, November 30, 2009

Oklahoma 27, Oklahoma State 0

Though the Sooners haven’t had the season they expected, they did knock their rival out of its first BCS appearance on Saturday.

Oklahoma State quarterback Zac Robinson completed just 9 of 21 passes for 44 yards after returning from an injury. He was pulled in the fourth quarter.

The Sooners won their seventh game in a row in the rivalry and their 30th in a row at home.

Oklahoma State finished with just 109 yards of total offense and didn’t have a single first down in the second half.

Texas 49, Texas A&M 39

It was a good ol’ Texas shootout. But Colt McCoy and Texas took a few more shots and knocked off Texas A&M, 49-39 on Thanksgiving.

In his final regular season game, McCoy threw for 304 yards and four touchdowns. He also ran for a career-high 175 yards on 18 carries. Freshman running back Tre’ Newton also picked up more than 100 yards on the ground.

Texas A&M junior quarterback Jerrod Johnson actually threw for more yards than McCoy and tossed four touchdowns but also threw an interception.

Freshman running back Christine Michael brought the Aggies within one score on a 16-yard touchdown run early in the fourth quarter. From there, the teams exchanged passing touchdowns. A kickoff return touchdown cemented the victory for Texas

Texas takes on Nebraska in the Big 12 Championship game for a shot at the BCS Championship game in February.

Nebraska 28, Colorado 20

After the announcement that coach Dan Hawkins would return to coach Colorado next season, the Buffaloes put up a good fight, but fell to Nebraska.

Though the Cornhuskers were already in the Big 12 championship whether they won or lost, coach Bo Pelini said the team took a step backward in the victory.

The team picked up only 217 total yards, just 73 through the air. Touchdowns off a punt return and an interception were enough for a victory.

Colorado sophomore quarterback Tyler Hansen completed 21 of 44 passes for 269 yards and three touchdowns. Hansen threw three interceptions, including one that was returned for a touchdown just before halftime.

Texas Tech 20, Baylor 13

It was an odd low-scoring game for the Red Raiders, but a defensive stop in the fourth quarter helped Texas Tech survive at Cowboys Stadium.

The Red Raiders scored their fewest points in a victory since beating Texas A&M 12-0 in 2001.

With Oklahoma State’s loss and its likely subsequent drop into the Cotton Bowl, Texas Tech will probably have to settle for the Holiday or Alamo Bowl.
