Alamo Bowl: Horned Frogs Erase 31-Point Halftime Deficit, Knock Off Ducks In Triple Overtime

At San Antonio, Texas:

Quarterback Bram Kohlhausen, in place of the suspended Trevone Boykin, threw for 351 yards and accounted for four touchdowns, running for the game winner in the third overtime period as the Texas Christian Horned Frogs (#11 in the final College Football Playoff rankings; 11-2) came back from a 31-point deficit----equaling the biggest comeback in bowl history----and knocked off the Oregon Ducks (#15 CFP; 9-4) 47-41 in Saturday's Alamo Bowl game.

Quarterback Vernon Adams, Jr. led the Ducks to four first-half touchdowns but suffered an injury in the second quarter and did not return, taking Oregon's  offensive prowess with him as the Ducks led 31-0 at halftime.  The Ducks' second-half offensive performance looked like it originated from a morgue while the Frogs scored on all offensive possessions during that same second half.

Buckin' Broncos Top Frogs In Battle Of Unbeatens

At Glendale, Arizona:

In one of the two bowl games to match two unbeatens, Boise State (14-0) reached into its' bag of tricks again on Monday night as they defeated TCU (12-1) 17-10 in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl. Brandyn Thompson ran back an interception 51 yards for a touchdown in the first quarter and running back Doug Martin ran for the winning touchdown from two yards out in the fourth quarter. That last score was made possible earlier in the Broncos' drive by a successful fake punt on fourth down as Kyle Brotzman (who also kicked a 40-yard field goal and both extra points) threw a completed pass to Kyle Efaw for 30 yards. The Broncos become only the second team in the history of top-flight college football to finish the season 14-0.
