The 2002 Cotton Bowl Classic matched the Arkansas Razorbacks and the Oklahoma Sooners.
The Sooners finished 2nd in the Big 12 South after two crucial losses to Nebraska and Oklahoma State.
Arkansas could manage only 50 yards of total offense, and one Brennan O'Donohoe field goal late in the game.
Oklahoma QB Nate Hybl ran in from one yard out for the only touchdown of the game.
Sooner Rocky Calmus, the Butkus Award winner and Nagurski, Bednarik, and Lombardi finalist had nine tackles and a fumble recovery in the effort.
