Dec 31 The Oklahoman's Andrea Cohen and Scott Wright discuss OSU's loss in the Hoiday Bowl.

Perhaps Dez Bryant is not the Cowboys' everything, but it sure seemed that way against Oregon in the Holiday Bowl.

The All-American sophomore wide receiver courageously played longer than he should have after suffering a knee injury, but sadly he couldn't play nearly long enough.

As a result, OSU had no way to keep up with the suddenly explosive Ducks and wound up on the short end of a 42-31 final.

Afterward, Cowboys coach Mike Gundyrefused to use Bryant's injury as a bailout clause in the setback, though he certainly would have been entitled.

OSU quarterback Zac Robinson overthrew several receivers and was uncharacteristically off the mark.

Turns out he had a bum shoulder.

Again, Gundy deferred.

"We're not going to make any excuses for anybody who had an injury on our team," Gundy said.

Truth is, Oregon beat up on the Cowboys.

The Ducks bowled them over in bowl season, which is the perfect time to do it.
