They say the clothes make the man, and Gary Patterson was hellbent on proving just that on what turned into a wild and historic Saturday night in San Antonio.

Marshal Richard Hunter described in a Houston news conference as having a similar protection as the U.S. writ of habeas corpus. Eighteen-year-old Ethan Couch and his mother, Tonya Couch , were being held at immigration offices in Guadalajara on Tuesday.

“I didn’t even know that happened”, he said.

Adams threw for 1,865 yards, 21 touchdowns and four interceptions in that span, with an FBS-high 195.2 rating. OR quarterback Vernon Adams completed his first seven passes and finished with 197 yards in the first half.

Kohlhausen’s second touchdown run – an 8-yarder in the third overtime – provided the Horned Frogs (11-2) with the winning points. That first half was not what we were about, and (we) settled in and chose to play. “Just too bad to finish considering how much these guys improved, how much they fought and how hard they worked”. “To end it this way is tough”.

In his first public comments since was Thursday and suspended for the Valero Alamo Bowl, coach Gary Patterson expressed his disappointment over the incident and his hope that players learn from his quarterback’s mistake. The first half featured a squad that appeared to be shaken by the absence of suspended quarterback Trevone Boykin.

QB Vernon Adams Jr., who has thrown for 2,446 yards with 25 touchdowns, leads OR into tonight’s Alamo Bowl.

After Kohlhausen’s go-ahead run, his pass on a two-point conversion was incomplete.

TCU’s eventual victory seemed impossible after an opening half dominated by Oregon.

His second was a 34-yard try, bringing his career total to 78. But, on the Ducks’ sixth drive of the game Adams scrambled and turned up field before taking a brutal helmet-to-helmet blow from TCU safety Derrick Kindred.

Behind the guts of the wonderful Kohlhausen, whose father passed away from cancer less than two months ago, the running of senior Aaron Green (101 yards, touchdown) and the playmaking of a host of young receivers even the most hardened TCU fans probably couldn’t match a name to jersey number – remember, senior star receiver Josh Doctson was out with a wrist injury – the Frogs roared all the way back for yet another TCU triumph.

Trace McSorley replaced Hackenberg and threw a 17-yard touchdown pass to Geno Lewis on the first play of the fourth quarter and then a 20-yard strike to DaeSean Hamilton with 6:14 to play. For today’s bowl game, Freeman has been given an over/under of 142.5 rushing yards.

TCU failed to score on its first eight possessions as the Horned Frogs were shut out in the first half.

Wide receiver Darren Carrington had seven catches for 107 yards and a touchdown for the Ducks.

Howard also broke Marc Bulger’s school bowl record of 429 yards, set in 1998, and connected with Shelton Gibson four times for 143 yards. The last five of those wins produced these OR points totals in four quarters of football: 41, 44, 38, 48, 52.

When he exited, OR led 28-0 and had gained 342 yards on 42 plays. The line has shot up to -7 on Oregon.

Kohlhausen, who had seen only spot duty this season, struggled as OR ran circles around the Horned Frogs in the first half. White scored again late in the third quarter by breaking three tackles and tight-roping his way down the sideline on a 33-yard reception.
