The 2003 SBC Cotton Bowl Classic was a post-season college football bowl game between the Texas Longhorns and the LSU Tigers on January 1, 2003, at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas , Texas . It was the final game of the 2002 NCAA Division I-A football season for each team and resulted in a 35-20 Texas victory. Texas represented the Big 12 Conference while LSU represented the Southeastern Conference (SEC).[1]
The University of Texas started out their season strong, and finished well, compiling a 10-2 record: they lost to Oklahoma , 35-24 and the Texas Tech Red Raiders 42-38 while being ranked number 4.
Louisiana State started off their season 6-1. However, an injury to their starting QB Matt Mauck caused them to lose their last few games (to Alabama 0-31, Auburn 7-31, and Arkansas 20-21). They finished with an 8-4 regular season record, a disappointing year.
