Ducks watch big lead disappear in 47-41 loss in 3OT
At the 6 minute mark in the 4 Quarter, TCU overtook OR for total yards for the game. By changing into TCU’s true preferred color of choice, Patterson appeased the college football gods, and turned a certain loss into the most magical comeback in bowl history.
OR did any and everything it wanted early by scoring on four consecutive drives. “In the second half we were able to get rolling, pick at that 31 points”. The two teams are facing off in the 2016 Alamo Bowl on January 2, and we have the live stream so you can watch the entire game unfold!
The triumph matched the largest comeback in bowl history – a 31-point rally by Texas Tech against Minnesota in the 2006 Insight Bowl.
TCU was forced to punt on five of its eight first-half possessions, with another ending on downs and another with an interceptions. While that was happening, the Horned Frogs, who were starting a backup quarterback of their own because of Trevone Boykin’s suspension, began to show signs of life. With the exception of the Oklahoma game, TCU depended heavily on Boykin for his arm and his legs. 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). If we’re going to make this a press conference about him, then I think we’re ruining San Antonio and the bowl game and we’re saying everybody else that plays at TCU is not important. Police said Boykin’s friends restrained the quarterback and told officers they would take him back to their hotel. At the end of the day, a lot of points, all that, we needed to make one play.
A year ago in the Peach Bowl, Kolby Listenbee, another former Bowie quarterback, threw a 31-yard touchdown pass to Green. “This is a night I thought would never happen”.
The win allows head coach Gary Patterson and the Horned Frogs to head home to Fort Worth having won at least 11 games in nine of their last twelve seasons. The touchdown was a 26-yard pass to Jaelan Austin that cut the lead to 31-10 and didn’t appear to have much importance at that point.

DUCK CALLS: Matt Lubick has been promoted from Oregon’s receivers coach to offensive coordinator to replace Scott Frost, who left to become Central Florida’s coach. A Horned Frogs team with its backup QB was simply outmatched against an OR team whose biggest losses were when their QB was hurt.
“This whole year, especially on the defensive side, it’s been a struggle in the second half to finish games”, OR defensive end DeForest Buckner said. It means the world to me.
Collins, who has rushed for over 1,000 yards each of the last three seasons, indicated after the game he hadn’t decided whether to return for his senior year or enter the National Football League draft.
Arkansas 45, Kansas State 23:Alex Collins ran for 185 yards and three touchdowns and the Razorbacks (8-5) capped their late-season surge with a victory over the Wildcats (6-7) in the Liberty Bowl in Memphis, Tenn.
“It leaves a bad taste in your mouth”, Lockie said.
