GLENDALE, Ariz. -- Watching film of their two previous, disastrous trips to the Fiesta Bowl back at the team hotel, Oklahoma's players didn't cringe, didn't get that here-we-go-again feeling.
The Sooners got mad and took it out on Connecticut, finally ending that BCS losing streak.
Landry Jones and Ryan Broyles had record-setting games, Oklahoma's defense scored two touchdowns while holding UConn's offense without one, and the ninth-ranked Sooners ended their five-game BCS bowl losing streak with a 48-20 victory over Connecticut in the Fiesta Bowl on Saturday night.
"Coming out here and winning a bowl game, especially a BCS bowl with our past and losing so many of them, to win one for the program, for Coach [Bob] Stoops and all those guys, it's just a great feeling right now," Jones said. "It motivated us. We came into the same situation a couple of times and came out with some losses, and to win a game after those, it's just a great feeling."
Oklahoma (12-2) carried plenty of BCS baggage after losing three straight title games and two Fiesta Bowls.
The Sooners avoided the setback six pack behind Jones, Broyles and a dominating defense.
