Texas lost only one game, to the 2004 Oklahoma Sooner
football team. In the Big 12 South division, this meant
that Oklahoma would face Colorado in the Big 12 Cham-
pionship Game. Oklahoma was invited to the National
Championship game. Because Texas were not conference
champions, their next bowl game would be arbitrarily
picked, and the outcome heavily depended on the play of
other teams. Texas would eventually gain an automatic
bid to a BCS bowl game by virtue of their #4 BCS ranking
(the top 4 BCS teams are guaranteed spots in a BCS bowl
game if the first 3 teams are conference champions). As
USC was participating in the Orange Bowl (that year’s
BCS Championship Game), the Longhorns were chosen to
play in "The Granddaddy of ’em All" by the Tournament
of Roses Rose Bowl Committee as an at-large team.

Braylon Edwards caught three touchdown receptions. The scoring was even 14-14 at halftime. The second half
