Two former Big 12 rivals who have not faced off since the 2011 season renew acquaintances in the 14th annual Texas Bowl, when the 25th-ranked Oklahoma State Cowboys take on the Texas A&M Aggies, who finished the season at 7-5, out of the national rankings. While not much is at stake in the game other than pride, the Cowboys feature the leading rusher in the FBS this season in 20-year-old redshirt sophomore Chuba Hubbard, who appears likely to be taken with first-round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
The native of Alberta, Canada, who played the Canadian version of the game in high school, led the FBS in almost every running category, including rushing yards with 1,936. The Cowboys star also racked up 10 straight 100-yard games, including four 200-yard outings. He tallied multiple touchdowns in seven games.
