    Trevor Knight throws for 4 TDs as Sooners upend Bama in Sugar Bowl

    Hello, Trevor. Farewell, AJ.

    Trevor Knight's final start as a freshman sent Oklahoma's expectations soaring into 2014 while bringing a sour end to AJ McCarron's otherwise-charmed Alabama career.

    Knight completed a Sugar Bowl-record 32 passes for 348 yards and four touchdowns, and No. 11 Oklahoma took down the third-ranked Crimson Tide 45-31 on Thursday night.

    Bob Stoops: SEC not overwhelming

    After Oklahoma toppled Alabama in the Allstate Sugar Bowl on Thursday, Sooners coach Bob Stoops said he wouldn't have to "dodge any more punches" for suggesting in the offseason that the SEC being the best league in college football was "propaganda."

    "When I made the comment, the bottom half of the SEC was like zero-and-36 against the top half of the SEC. You realize that? A year ago … nobody talks about that. My point was, don't say SEC like they're all doing that [beating everyone]. One or two or three top teams … sure, you give them the credit. Alabama … I've got the utmost respect for them. Are you kidding me? How could you not? But in the end, don't talk about the entire conference that way. It's just not true.

    Texas names Charlie Strong coach

    A new era in Texas football began Sunday when the Longhorns announced the hiring of Charlie Strong from Louisville.

    Texas athletic director Steve Patterson praised Strong in a statement released Sunday afternoon as "a man of great integrity, with a wonderful family, who is well respected inside and outside the game."

    "Our committee and former lettermen helped create an extensive selection criteria and after visiting with Charlie, it was clear he met them all," Patterson said. "He led championship defenses as an assistant, a resurgence at the University of Louisville with double-digit game winning seasons, and twice been selected conference coach of the year."

    Tech denies Baker Mayfield's appeal

    Former Texas Tech quarterback Baker Mayfield lost an appeal Friday to avoid giving up a year of eligibility at Oklahoma.

    According to Texas Tech policy, when a player transfers within the conference, he must sit out the next year and lose a year of eligibility. Mayfield maintained that he shouldn't lose eligibility based on the fact that he walked on and was never under scholarship at Texas Tech.]

    Shoulder forces Josh Cochran to stop

    Former Texas starting tackle Josh Cochran is ending his career because of a recurring shoulder injury.

    Cochran, who just finished his junior season, started 23 games and played in 30 in three seasons with the Longhorns.

    He started Texas' first three games at right tackle in 2013 before aggravating a shoulder issue. That injury caused him to miss seven games, and Cochran lost enough weight to prompt a move to tight end.

    Mack Brown gets buyout, big salary

    Texas said Wednesday it has agreed to pay former coach Mack Brown $2.75 million that would have been owed him if he had been fired, and place him in a one-year, $500,000 job as a special assistant to the president for athletics.

    Both options had been part of Brown's original contract in separate clauses in case of termination or resignation. Brown announced on Dec. 14 that he would step down after Texas' bowl game and called it a "mutual" decision between himself, school President Bill Powers and athletic director Steve Patterson. He has been replaced by Charlie Strong.

    Brown had reportedly been negotiating for more money. Texas agreeing to pay Brown his severance buyout and give him the job raised the question whether he was fired or resigned and why he would get both options.

    Big 12 reprimands Steve Edmond

    Big 12 Commissioner Bob Bowlsby has publicly reprimanded Texas linebacker Steve Edmond after the player criticized Baylor and called the Bears "trash."

    Edmond made his remarks after Texas wrapped spring practice last weekend with its annual spring scrimmage and his comments gained widespread attention around the Big 12. Edmond apologized Thursday night, but that didn't stop Bowlsby from issuing a reprimand Friday afternoon.

    Brandon Carter charge dismissed

    A marijuana possession charge against TCU receiver Brandon Carter has been dismissed, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram reported Tuesday.

    Carter, 21, was arrested April 22 after Fort Worth police pulled over a 2010 Lexus he was driving.

    Police made the stop after checking the license plate and finding that the passenger in the car, Alexis Harris, was the car's owner and had an outstanding warrant. Both Harris and Carter were arrested on suspicion of possessing less than 2 ounces of marijuana.
