The No. 7 Oklahoma Sooners started the season with losses in two of their first three games, but they made amends and put the finishing touches on a 10-game winning streak when they dispatched the No. 14 Auburn Tigers 35-19 in the Sugar Bowl on Monday night.

The triumph at the Superdome in New Orleans represented the Sooners' first in a bowl game since their 45-31 victory over the Alabama Crimson Tide in the Sugar Bowl at the end of the 2013 season.

Oklahoma quarterback and Heisman Trophy finalist Baker Mayfield was in fine form, as he finished 19-of-28 passing for 296 yards and two touchdowns in a tone-setting performance.
