No. 7 Oklahoma and 14th-ranked Auburn will meet for the second time ever Jan. 2 in the Allstate Sugar Bowl (8:30 p.m. ET, ESPN), where they staged their other matchup 45 years ago.
Here's a deeper dive into this Big 12/SEC bowl matchup in New Orleans:
How to beat Auburn: Make them one dimensional on offense. It’s easier said than done, but teams that have taken away the running game have typically had success against Auburn. When the Tigers have rushed for more than 200 yards in a game this season, they’re 7-1. In the four games in which they failed to get to 200 rushing yards, they’re 1-3.
