Adams could only watch as the Ducks surrendered a 31-0 lead and the No. 11 Horned Frogs tying for the biggest comeback in bowl history, winning 47-41. Patterson was wearing all black in the first half but decided “the black wasn’t working” and changed to a purple wardrobe instead.

Jan 2, 2016; San Antonio, TX, USA; TCU Horned Frogs quarterback Bram Kohlhausen (6) throws under defensive pressure by Oregon Ducks linebacker Torrodney Prevot (86) in the 2016 Alamo Bowl at the Alamodome. We should probably be getting used to it. However the momentum swung in favor of the Horned Frogs in the second half.
Swansea win can be a fantastic start for United: Coach van Gaal
Chris Smalling has told his Manchester United team-mates that Saturday’s win over Swansea must not prove to be a false dawn. The hosts did not register a shot on target until the 33rd minute and only two more weak efforts followed before the break.
Vernon Adams Jr. left the game after a helmet-to-helmet collision in the second quarter and did not return. The Oregon defense is going to have to find a way to get off the field and allow their offense to do its thing as many times as possible.
Obama set to hold town hall meeting on gun control

Earlier in that season, the last time TCU didn’t go to a bowl game, the Frogs were shut out in the first half at Oklahoma in a 20-17 loss.
The resulting field position advantages led TCU to score their own 31 unanswered points, with a late field goal forcing overtime. Bram Kohlhausen, who had a shaky first half, looked like the same quarterback that nearly led TCU to an upset win in Norman, throwing the ball with confidence and making plays with his legs.
The 31-point comeback to a victory tied the record for a bowl game set by Texas Tech in the 2006 Insight Bowl against Minnesota in 2006. He threw for 351 yards, ran for 45 more and accounted for four touchdowns, two passing and two rushing.
Lockie started three games in place of Adams this season, beating Georgia State and Colorado but losing to Washington State.
“I was playing this whole game for Tre”, said Kohlhausen, from the stage on field after being named the offensive MVP. OR simply had no answers for an undermanned TCU offense in the last two quarters and overtime sessions, and the collapse will lead some to wonder, perhaps even head coach Mark Helfrich, whether the tenure of long-time UO coordinator/assistant Don Pellum should come to an end.
His second was a 34-yard try, bringing his career total to 78. OR totaled only 18 yards regulation in the second half. They have another graduate transfer quarterback, Dakota Prukop from Montana State, committed to play his final year of eligibilty for OR in 2016, but the fact their depth was so thin this season is troubling.
Congrats to TCU on the best comeback and best bowl of the season! OR played one overtime game this season and beat Arizona State on the road. A 22-yard field goal by Jaden Oberkrom sent the game into overtime, where the teams matched scores before the night ended on another bad snap by Brenner and an incompletion.

The game will all but certainly go down as one of the greater moments in TCU football’s storied history. TCU stopped OR on its final drive to seal the victory.
