There are currently doing the team intros! The action is just minutes away!
The No. 9 Texas A&M Aggies take on the No. 11 Oklahoma Sooners in what should be another memorable college football game as these two hook up for the 2013 Cotton Bowl. If you can't catch the game live, don't worry, we have the live blog with play-by-play and scoring updates for you right here as the action takes place from Cowboys Stadium.
What can we expect from these two teams today?
A little bit of everything. Both schools fall within the Top 10 in certain statistics.
For example, Texas A&M, who went 10-2 this season in the SEC, ranks fourth in points scored in the FBS Rankings. They are averaging just under 45 points per game with a perfect combination of passing (317 YPG) and running (235 YPG). Their defense is also not too bad as they give up around 22 points per game.
It will be interesting to see what the Heisman Trophy winner, Johnny Manziel brings to the table.
As for Oklahoma, their passing game led by qyarterback LandryJones is averaging the 4th most passing yards in the nation as they tally up just over 340 per game. This leads to an explosive offense that averaged 40 points per game during the regular season. As far as defense, they're pretty good allowing just 24 points per game.
Both schools have even records and both won their last five games of the regular season. So this one will prove which team can carry the momentum better and walk out as Cotton Bowl Champions.
