The Sooners defeated the Cornhuskers, 21-7.[1] This was the first time the two teams had ever met in the Big 12 conference championship game.
The Sooners went on to play in the Fiesta Bowl and lose to Boise State Broncos in one of the most historic upsets in BCS and bowl game history, not only because of the winner, but the way in which Boise State used a trick play to win the game.[2] [3]
Nebraska went on to lose to the Auburn Tigers in the, 17 to 14.[4] [5]
