    Texas is 0-2 in their last 2 games (lost to TCU and K State)

    Oregon State's last 6 games have gone L, W, L, W, L, W...with the losses @Washington by 3, @Stanford by 4, and to Oregon

    The Alamo Bowl currently matches #2 in the Pac-12 (#3 this year) and #3 in the Big 12

    The Alamo Bowl has sold out seven of its sixteen games (1995, 1999, 2001, 2004, 2006, 2007, and 2011).

    The Big XII team has won the last four Alamo Bowls

    Well Texas DE Alex Okafor lived up to the hype. He's rated the #3 DE of the seniors for the Draft and was a Rivals 5-star recruit coming out of high school

    He set a bowl record today with 4.5 sacks, also had a forced fumble and 8 tackles

    For the season, he has 12.5 sacks, 4 forced fumbles, 61 tackles, a blocked kick, etc
  5. Oxafor will play in the NFL.
