The '''2007 [[Brut (cologne)|Brut]] [[Sun Bowl]]''', part of the [[2007-08 NCAA football bowl games]] season, was played on December 31, 2007 at [[Sun Bowl Stadium]] on the campus of the [[University of Texas, El Paso]] between the [[South Florida Bulls football|South Florida Bulls]] and the [[Oregon Ducks football|Oregon Ducks]].

The Ducks were playing without [[quarterback]] [[Dennis Dixon]], who finished fifth in the [[Heisman Trophy]] balloting but who had season-ending [[anterior cruciate ligament|ACL]] surgery in November. Redshirt freshman [[Justin Roper]] made his first collegiate start in place of Dixon and threw for four touchdowns to tie a Sun Bowl record and lead the Ducks to a 56-21 victory.

The game marked the 40th consecutive telecast by [[CBS Sports]].  No other network and bowl game has been paired for a longer period of time.
