No. 1 Missouri loses
The championship dream finally died for No. 1 Missouri. The Oklahoma Sooners showed the Tigers just what it takes to win a title: defense and a bruising running game near the goal line.
The No. 9 Sooners rushed for three touchdowns, quarterback Sam Bradford threw for two more and Oklahoma coolly captured its fifth Big 12 title since 2000 by upending the upstart Tigers 38-17 Saturday night in the conference championship game in the Alamodome.
The Sooners contained the Tigers’ Heisman Trophy hopeful quarterback Chase Daniel and three times forced one of the nation’s best offenses to settle for short field goals instead of touchdowns. It was the first time this season Missouri was held under 30 points.
