DALLAS (FWAA) – With their 9-6 win over No. 9 Nebraska, the Texas

A&M Aggies (8-3) are the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl National Team of

the Week for games of the weekend of Nov. 20.

Cyrus Gray ran for 137 yards in his fifth straight 100-yard game and

Randy Bullock's third field goal with 3:02

left in the game provided the margin of

victory for the Aggies. Gray also added a

career-high 65 receiving yards.

Gray became the first Texas A&M running

back to string together five straight 100-yard games since 1990 as the

Aggies have won eight regular-season games for the first time since

2006. Their five-game conference winning streak is the school's longest

since 1996.

"The consequences of winning are the expectations get higher," head

coach Mike Sherman said after the game. "We jumped over another

hurdle and have taken another step. We still have another step to

take."

No. 13 Oklahoma at No. 9 Oklahoma State

As the regular college football season comes to a close, the Big

12 Conference is just getting started. The Oklahoma Sooners

(9-2) will take on the Oklahoma State Cowboys (10-1) under

the lights in Stillwater, Okla. for the annual Bedlam game. The

Cowboys, who are leading the South division by one game,

have surprised many critics by scoring 45.3 points per game

and leading the FBS in total yards of offense with 552 (NCAA).

Cowboy QB Brandon Weeden has thrown for 3,780 yards and

30 touchdowns this season as his team marches toward a

conference title. Oklahoma State has never appeared in the Big

12 Conference title game and the Sooners are hoping to keep it

that way. Oklahoma, which holds the record for most

conference title wins, will hope to extend its seven-game win

streak in the series when the in-state rivals battle for the Bed-

lam Bell on Saturday.

Sooner QB Landry Jones has contributed 3,479 yards to

Oklahoma’s fourth-ranked passing offense (NCAA) and the

Sooner’s average of 36.6 points per game. The Sooners have

won 80 of the 104 games in the series. Another win would send

the them to the Big 12 Conference title game for the eighth

time.
