NORMAN, Okla. (AP) - Oklahoma will complete a Heisman Trophy trifecta of sorts when the Sooners face No. 10 Texas A&M in the Cotton Bowl.

The Aggies are led by quarterback Johnny Manziel, who earlier this month became the first freshman to win the Heisman.

No. 10 Oklahoma (10-2) already has faced the other two players who finished in the top three in this season's Heisman balloting: Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o and Kansas State quarterback Collin Klein. The Sooners lost both games at home, falling 30-13 to the Fighting Irish and 24-19 to K-State.

Oklahoma is the first team since Florida in 1993 to face the top three players in that season's Heisman balloting.
