Ryan Broyles set a Sun Bowl record with three touchdown receptions as Oklahoma edged Stanford 31-27 in college football Thursday. Broyles finished with 156 yards receiving and set Oklahoma's single-game record with 13 receptions in front of a Sun Bowl record crowd of 53,713. Oklahoma quarterback Landry Jones passed for 418 yards, completing 30 of 51 passes with just one interception and connected with Broyles on TD strikes of 30, 13 and 6 yards. Stanford's star running back Toby Gerhart, who led the nation with 1,736 yards rushing, ran for 135 and scored two TDs in the first half. Oklahoma rallied with 14 straight points in the third quarter, and held on as Stanford's Patrick O'Hara missed a 32-yard field goal try with 3:19 remaining. Stanford, making its first bowl appearance since 2001, got a final opportunity but turned it over on downs. Chick-fil-A Bowl - No. 12 Virginia Tech 37, Tennessee 14: In Atlanta, Ryan Williams capped a brilliant first season with a record-setting game, running for two touchdowns to power Virginia Tech. The Hokies took the lead with a field goal in the final seconds of the first half and outscored Tennessee 20-0 in the second half on their way to a sixth straight 10-win season. The only team with a longer active streak is Texas with nine. Williams had 117 yards rushing to become Virginia Tech's single-season rushing leader with 1,655 yards. Williams also set Atlantic Coast Conference records with 21 rushing touchdowns and 22 total touchdowns this season. Tennessee's star running back Montario Hardesty could not keep up with Williams. The Volunteers tailback had 18 carries for 39 yards and a touchdown. Armed Forces Bowl - Air Force 47, Houston 20: In Fort Worth, Texas, Asher Clark and Jared Tew each ran for more than 100 yards with two touchdowns for Air Force. Air Force's top-ranked passing defense had six interceptions against Houston quarterback Case Keenum. Air Force's plan to limit Keenum and the nation's most explosive offense worked almost flawlessly. The Falcons ran for 402 yards to go with Tim Jefferson's effective passing, holding the ball for 41 minutes and then coming up with the big defensive plays. Anthony Wright had three interceptions, and Chris Thomas had two picks to go with his 12 tackles. Keenum, who led the nation passing yards, was 24 of 41 with a season-low 222 yards and a touchdown for the Cougars. Texas Bowl - Navy 35, Missouri 13: In Houston, Ricky Dobbs ran for 166 yards and three touchdowns as Navy manhandled Missouri with its triple-option offense. Dobbs, who set a collegiate record for touchdown runs by a quarterback this season, also threw a touchdown pass to Bobby Doyle and Marcus Curry ran for a score as the Midshipmen rushed for 385 yards against Missouri's 12th-ranked run defense. Blaine Gabbert threw a 58-yard touchdown pass to Danario Alexander on Missouri's second play from scrimmage, but the Tigers mustered only 298 yards the rest of the game _ largely because they only had the ball for just over 19 minutes. Gabbert also threw two interceptions and was sacked four times. Insight Bowl - Iowa State 14, Minnesota 13: In Tempe, Arizona, Alexander Robinson ran for 137 yards, and Austen Arnaud threw for one touchdown and ran for another as Iowa State capped its first winning season since 2005. The Cyclones overcame four turnovers by Arnaud, who threw two interceptions and lost two fumbles. Minnesota's Adam Weber threw for 261 yards and a score, and Kyle Theret picked off two passes for the Golden Gophers.
