In his first and only start at TCU, the senior signal-caller filled in poignantly for Big 12 star Trevone Boykin, who was out following his arrest for allegedly assaulting a police offer Thursday.

Alabama beats Michigan State in Cotton Bowl, advances to championship game
Yet the Spartans couldn’t score against Alabama, with linebacker Dillon Lee preserving the shutout with a leaping interception. The point is this: Nobody has mastered stern and disciplinary football on the college level like Saban, and no one ever will.
OR taking on TCU in the 2016 Alamo Bowl promises to be one of the more pyrotechnic games of the 2015 bowl season, even though we all had to wait until the first Saturday of 2016 to see the matchup of two erstwhile College Football Playoff aspirants.

But these suggestions should be sent To avoid distracting other readers, we won’t publish comments that suggest a correction. Restaurants nearby opened for business, but served limited menus as civil defense officials cut natural gas to the area.
You could argue this was Patterson’s most impressive year of coaching, considering the incredible number of injuries his defense endured over the course of the season.
Here is the latest Alabama sports news from The Associated Press
The turning point of the game came at the end of the second half, after Alabama made a field goal to put the Tide up 10. A few drives of 22 plays, as they produced to close out the Big Ten Championship Game against Iowa, would really help.
Kohlhausen will walk away from TCU with only one start on his resume, but he will be remembered in Horned Frog lore for his heroics in Saturday’s memorable outcome.
“I feel like this is going to be a really good game”.
The Ducks (9-4) lost starting quarterback Vernon Adams Jr.to a head injury in the second quarter but built a 31-point halftime lead before TCU outscored OR 31-0 in the second half at the Alamodome.
OR went three-and-out on its first drive but then scored first when Adams threw a 37-yard touchdown pass to Carrington in the first quarter.
“The very first throw he threw in seven-on-seven”, Lubick said.

Boykin finished fourth in the Heisman Trophy voting as a junior in 2014 and went into this season considered one of the front-runners for the award.
The offensive line, anchored by All-American left tackle Tyler Johnstone, has played well after a tough early-season transition.
Adams said he was approaching this game as one last job audition for National Football League scouts.
“I mean, what difference does it make?” he said. “For a defensive guy, that would not be on the top of my Christmas list”. He has accounted for 56 percent of TCU’s offense since 2012, and leaves with career school records for total yards (12,777), passing yards (10,728), passing touchdowns (86) and touchdowns responsible for (114).
Boykin passed for 3,575 yards and 31 touchdowns and ran for 612 yards and 10 touchdowns this season. It could, however, also be a coming-out moment for Boykin’s fill-in, which will be either Foster Sawyer or Bram Kohlhausen, if not both.
After Kohlhausen’s go-ahead run, his pass on a two-point conversion was incomplete.
Patterson, one of the more superstitious fellows you’ll meet on any sideline, changed out of the black shirt he wore during that disgusting first half and slipped into a purple number. The lesson being, if TCU is going to stack nine in the box, they better get to the quarterback or risk getting burned deep by Darren Carrington.
