Did TCU coach's change of wardrobe spark Frogs' massive Alamo Bowl rally?
In a bowl season to forget, it appeared the Alamo Bowl would be yet another blowout. The Oregon Ducks held a 31-point lead at halftime, and the TCU Horned Frogs were without suspended starting quarterback Trevone Boykin.
But in a stunning turn of events, the Frogs scored 31 unanswered points to force overtime. They eventually finished off the comeback in style when they scored a touchdown in the third overtime en route to a 47-41 win.
So how did TCU pull off the incredible comeback? Obviously the coaches and players did most of the work, especially senior backup quarterback Bram Kohlhausen, who completed 28 of 45 passes for 351 yards with two touchdowns. It also helped that Oregon quarterback Vernon Adams Jr. exited the game with an injury in the second quarter after putting up 28 points.
But did a wardrobe change also help?
Horned Frogs head coach Gary Patterson changed his shirt at halftime to a purple polo. He said he made the switch to help change the energy around the TCU sideline -- and then his team matched the largest comeback in bowl history.
