2016 Big 12 Championship Game

The 2016 Big 12 Championship Game was the 4th championship game for the Big 12 Conference. 12th-ranked Texas got revenge for a close defeat in the Red River Shootout earlier in the season, scoring 17 points off of turnovers from the 5th-ranked Oklahoma Sooners en route to a 20-17 win.
==Teams==
===Oklahoma Sooners===
Oklahoma became the first team in Big 12 history to successfully defend its division title. After a close season-opening loss to Notre Dame, the Sooners have embarked on an 11-game winning streak and went undefeated in Big 12 play. Quarterback Norris Brooksheer has been one of the best quarterbacks in the nation, and his efforts have made him a Heisman finalist. Meanwhile, Sean Egloff has stepped in to replace Greg Hadnot at halfback, and the balance between Egloff and Brooksheer has been critical to Oklahoma's success.
===Texas Longhorns===
Texas was the #1 team in the country in the preseason and the favorite to win the Big 12. After a blowout win over Hawaii and a neutral-site win over then-#3 USC to start the season, the Longhorns began to struggle, winning close games over Boston College and North Carolina before dropping consecutive contests to then-winless West Virginia and then-#9 Oklahoma. After those games, Texas abandoned their inefficient pass-heavy offense for a more balanced one, and they won 6 straight games to close out the regular season. Their last two wins were victories over TCU and Oklahoma State, giving them the tiebreaker as all three teams finished 5-2 in conference play. The Longhorns are quarterbacked by Sam Light, and he is joined in the backfield by halfback Troy Booker.
