Brown caps off his great day with a run from behind his own goal line, 103 yards for a touchdown. / SOONERS ROUT DUKE IN ORANGE BOWL - Oklahoma's Sooners stage a record scoring spree in the closing minutes to rack up a 48-21 triumph over Duke. Interceptions and dazzling runbacks by the sharp Sooners make it a fast-paced thriller. (LOCAL – DETROIT/CLEVELAND) LIONS CLAW BROWNS 59-14.
