The only matchup of the day featuring ranked teams went from being
a laugher to a shocker. No. 11 TCU matched the biggest comeback in
bowl history, rallying from a 31-0 halftime deficit against No. 15
Oregon and defeating the Ducks 47-41 in three overtimes at the
Alamo Bowl. Bram Kohlhausen, starting at quarterback in place of
the suspended Trevone Boykin, threw for 351 yards and accounted for
four touchdowns, including an eight-yard tightrope scramble on the
sideline for the winning points in the third extra period. Oregon's
Vernon Adams Jr. threw for 197 first-half yards and a touchdown
before leaving due to a hard hit to the head in a collision with
TCU linebacker Derrick Kindred late in the first half. Royce
Freeman had 130 rushing yards and three TDs for Oregon.
