SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. (AP) – Looking ahead to the Fiesta Bowl, Oklahoma quarterback Landry Jones pulled out an old adage: Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it.
Jones was talking about the last two times the Sooners rolled into the desert favored in the Fiesta Bowl only to lose 48-28 to West Virginia in 2008 and, as every college football fan must know, 43-42 in overtime to Boise State in 2007.
Oklahoma is back, and the ninth-ranked Sooners are overwhelming favorites against No. 25 Connecticut in the New Year’s night matchup.
As the Oklahoma quarterback put it, “If you don’t prepare differently, history’s going to repeat itself.”
History hasn’t been so great for the Sooners in other BCS locations, either. Oklahoma has lost five straight BCS bowl games.
