Texas goes bowling on this date: 12/29/12 Alamo Bowl
Posted December 29th, 2015
In what would be Mack Brown’s last bowl victory at Texas, the Longhorns faced Oregon State in the annual San Antonio matchup on Dec. 29, 2012. The unranked Longhorns bested the 15th-ranked Beavers 31-27 by scoring 14 unanswered fourth-quarter points on two David Ash touchdown tosses to Johnathan Gray and Marquise Goodwin. The bowl victory hoped to launch the Horns back to prominence. It didn’t.

Defensive end Alex Okafor was the star of the game, registering 4 1/2 sacks, six tackles for loss and a forced fumble. The team compiled a total of 10 sacks on the night while holding the Oregon State offense to minus-4 yards in the final quarter.
