Valero Alamo Bowl<br />
2016: Oklahoma State’s 38-8 victory in the 2016 Valero Alamo was the third largest of victory in Valero Alamo Bowl<br />
history. Nebraska defeated Northwestern by 49 in 2000 and California bested Iowa by 34 in the inaugural<br />
game.<br />
Top Individual Performances:<br />
Drew Brees, QB, Purdue, 1998 -- Led the heavy-underdog Boilermakers to an upset 37-34 win over BCS No.<br />
3-ranked Kansas State, hitting 25-of-53 passes for 230 yards and three touchdowns, including a 24-yard game<br />
winning TD in the closing minutes.<br />
Dan Alexander, RB, Nebraska, 2000 -- In what was the biggest blowout in Alamo Bowl history, ran for 240 yards on<br />
only 20 carries and scored three touchdowns in leading Nebraska to a 66-17 win over Northwestern. He led a<br />
Cornhusker rush attack that generated 476 yards.<br />
Robert Griffin III, QB, Baylor, 2011 -- The 2011 Alamo Bowl became the highest scoring bowl game in NCAA history,<br />
and the Heisman Trophy winner was a big part with a 24-of-33 passing performance for 295 yards and a score<br />
and 74 more rush yards with another TD.<br />
David Ash, QB, Texas, 2012 -- After not knowing if he would even start, threw for two touchdowns in the final<br />
8:18 and also had a third-quarter rushing score in bringing the Longhorns back from two 10-point deficits to a<br />
31-27 win over Oregon State.<br />
Marcus Mariota, QB, Oregon, 2013 – Accounted for 386 of Oregon’s 469 offensive yards, rushing for 133 yards on 15<br />
carries and throwing for 253 yards and a touchdown in leading the Ducks to a runaway 30-7 win over Texas.<br />
Bram Kohlhausen, QB, TCU, 2016 -- The senior quarterback racked up 351 passing yards on 28-45 passing with<br />
two touchdowns through the air. He also added 45 yards and two scores on the ground. His 351 passing yards<br />
marked the 8th time in bowl game history a quarterback threw for 300 or more yards.<br />
Last Year’s Game:<br />
Once again the Valero Alamo Bowl was the scene of a thrilling TCU comeback. The Horned Frogs rallied from a<br />
21-3 first half deficit as quarterback Kenny Hill threw for two touchdowns, ran for a score and caught a TD pass<br />
as part of a 33-point scoring outburst. TCU receiver Jalen Reagor caught a Valero Alamo Bowl record 93-yard<br />
TD pass from Hill to cut Stanford’s lead to 2 points early in the fourth quarter. After a three-and-out possession<br />
for Stanford, TCU receiver Desmon White returned a punt 76 yards for a touchdown to put the Horned Frogs up<br />
35-33 and Cole Bruce added the point after to put TCU up by three. Stanford would not go away as quarterback<br />
KJ Costello connected with JJ Arcega-Whiteside for a touchdown for the third time in the game and Stanford<br />
went back ahead 37-36. Hill then led TCU on a 54-yard drive that paid off with a 33-yard field goal by Bruce to<br />
put the Horned Frogs back on top 39-37. On the next drive Costello threw his second interception of the game<br />
as TCU defensive back Innis Gaines effectively sealed the win for the Horned Frogs and cemented their legacy as<br />
the Comeback Kings of the Alamo City. TCU outlasted a Stanford attack led by Heisman finalist Bryce Love, who<br />
finished 145 yards and two touchdowns.<br />
