Here are a few highlights from today's Cotton Bowl victory, thanks to ESPN, in case you missed the game:

"With major award winners Roy Williams and Rocky Calmus leading the way, the No. 10 Sooners tied a school record with nine sacks and held the Razorbacks to just 50 yards in a 10-3 victory.....The Sooners allowed Arkansas (7-5) only two completions for 13 yards.....New OU offensive coordinator Chuck Long stuck to a conservative plan and produced only a 1-yard touchdown run by Nate Hybl in the first quarter and a 32-yard field goal by Tim Duncan to open the second half.....That 10-0 lead seemed insurmountable, though, considering how the Sooners were defending their turf."

".....Arkansas didn't get into Oklahoma territory until a short punt put it there late in the third quarter.....The Razorbacks made six first downs all game, two by penalty.....Oklahoma's sacks, which cost Arkansas 55 yards, were its most in a bowl and matched the most in any game.....The Sooner Schooner rode onto the field to start celebrating the 11th 11-win season in school history."

"The whole game was like their last punt," (Arkansas Head Coach) Nutt said. "Surely it's going to roll into the end zone. It didn't. It stopped at the 6-inch line."
