    Oklahoma was gaining yards in bits instead of its usual chunks. Its defense was solid before giving up a pair of touchdowns in the fourth quarter to lose nearly all of a 21-point lead.

    Then a camera fell from the sky.

    It wasn't always pretty, but the Sooners grinded out a win, closing out a difficult year that included the death of a teammate and failed national title aspirations.

    Blake Bell ran for his third touchdown in the closing seconds and Oklahoma (No. 14 BCS, No. 19 AP) survived a late rally, not to mention the crashing camera, to beat Iowa 31-14 in the Insight Bowl on Friday night.
