What's at Stake
Both teams get their second crack at becoming eligible for a bowl. For Oklahoma, it's a chance to salvage anything from a lost season coming off an appearance in the BCS championship game. Texas A&M is trying to get back into the postseason after missing out last year.
Key Matchup
Texas A&M pass rusher Von Miller vs. Oklahoma offensive line. The Sooners lost two more offensive linemen to season-ending injuries this week and will be shuffling their front line again as the nation's leader in sacks comes to town.
Players to Watch
Texas A&M: RB Cyrus Gray. The Aggies' leading rusher picked up his second career kickoff return for a touchdown last week against Colorado. His first was a 98-yarder in last year's game against Oklahoma.
Oklahoma: QB Landry Jones. The redshirt freshman charged with replacing Heisman Trophy winner Sam Bradford looks to bounce back from the worst outing of his young career. He threw five interceptions in a 10-3 loss at Nebraska last week that marked the first time Oklahoma failed to score a touchdown under coach Bob Stoops.
