Postgame notes from Texas A&M's 77-0 loss at No. 1 Oklahoma on Saturday...
Texas A&M Postgame Notes
- A&M's rushing (22), passing (32) and total offense (54) outputs were season-lows. The 22 rushing yards were the lowest since 1999 when Nebraska limited A&M to 2 rushing yards. The 32 passing yards were the fewest since 1990 when A&M managed just 23 against Texas. The 54 total yards were the fewest dating back at least to the early 1970s. The lowest A&M total offense output in school history was 12 vs. TCU in 1930.
- The 77-0 shutout by Oklahoma marked the first time A&M has been held scoreless since Nov. 3, 2001 when Texas Tech prevailed 12-0 in Lubbock.
- The 77 points scored by Oklahoma were the most ever allowed by the Aggies. The previous high scoring output by an A&M opponent was 59 points by Texas Tech earlier this season.
- The 77-point winning margin by the Sooners was the largest point differential in school history. The previous record was 48 points in a 48-0 loss to Texas in 1898.
- Oklahoma's total offense output of 639 yards was the second-most ever against the Aggies behind the 669 yards gained by Texas Tech earlier this season.
- Oklahoma quarterback Jason White completed 15 straight passes against the Aggies, which is an opponent record against A&M. The previous best was 14 straight by Texas Tech's Kliff Kingsbury in 2002.
- The three touchdown catches by Oklahoma receiver Mark Clayton matches an opponent record against A&M. The record was originally set Baylor's Lawrence Elkins in 1963. It has been matched three times this year by Clayton, Pittsburgh's Larry Fitzgerald and Texas Tech's Nehemiah Glover.
For the Record: Game captains were senior Alan Reuber, sophomore Reggie McNeal, senior Linnis Smith, and junior Byron Jones...the 12th Man Kickoff team representative was John Ray, a redshirt freshman from Giddings, Texas...Oklahoma won the toss and deferred to the second half.
