How about that Oklahoma defense.
No. 5 Oklahoma avenged its only loss of the season Saturday thanks to a pair of critical defensive stops, beating No. 14 Texas 39-27 for the Big 12 championship at AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas.
The Sooners (12-1) will have to wait until Sunday's bowl selection show (11 a.m., ESPN) to find out if they made the four-team playoff field.
A much-maligned OU defense bailed out its offense after a CeeDee Lamb fumble midway through the fourth quarter. Up 30-27 with 8:27 left and Texas at its 7-yard line, OU sent corner Tre Brown on a blitz.
