Watch video of OSU Heisman winner Barry Sanders’ five touchdowns in the 1988 Holiday Bowl.

1. 1984 Gator Bowl

OSU 21, South Carolina 14

After blowing a 13-0 lead, Oklahoma State rallied behind the sheer determination of Barry Hanna. The OSU tight end took a short Rusty Hilger pass and ran 25 yards down the sideline, hauling a few South Carolina defenders across the goal line for the winning touchdown with 1:04 left. OSU finished 10-2 and seventh in the final AP poll.

2. 1988 Holiday Bowl

OSU 62, Wyoming 14

It was the last hurrah for OSU before NCAA probation sent the program into a decade-long decline. Heisman Trophy winner Barry Sanders ran for 222 yards and five TDs, Mike Gundy threw for 315 yards and two TDs, and Hart Lee Dykes caught 10 passes for 163 yards and a TD in smashing Wyoming to finish 10-2.

3. 1987 Sun Bowl

OSU 35, West Virginia 33

On a snowy Christmas day in El Paso, Texas, seldom-used freshman defensive tackle Shawn Mackey delivered a late Christmas present. Mackey stopped Mountaineers tight end Keith Wynn 1 yard short of the goal line on the potential tying two-point conversion with 1:13 left. Thurman Thomas' 157 yards and four TDs highlighted OSU's 10th win of the season.

4. 2002 Houston Bowl

OSU 33, Southern Mississippi 23

A new version of the Triplets led the Cowboys to their first bowl win in 14 years. Josh Fields threw for 310 yards and two TDs, Rashaun Woods caught nine passes for 164 yards and a TD, and Tatum Bell ran for 160 yards and a score as the Cowboys rallied from a 23-20 deficit entering the fourth quarter.

5. 1946 Sugar Bowl

OSU 33, St. Mary's (Calif.) 13 (1945 season)

The only undefeated season in school history is completed. The "Blond Bomber" Bob Fenimore got the best of his individual matchup against St. Mary's All-American "Squirmin' " Herman Wedemeyer.

Fenimore compiled 206 yards of total offense with two touchdown runs and a scoring pass to Cecil Hankins as the Cowboys finished 9-0. By MATT DOYLE World Sports Writer
