Texas Romps To Victory

As wacky plays go, this one certainly earned a spot in Holiday Bowl lore. What made it downright bizarre is that the central character wasn't a player.

Texas fans will remember Colt McCoy leading the No. 17 Longhorns to a 52-34 win Thursday night over the No. 12 Arizona State Sun Devils in the first meeting between the schools and their successful coaches.

It's a rare occurrence when college football teams meet more than once during a single season, but that's exactly what will happen for Central Michigan and Purdue.

The Chippewas will match up against the Boilermakers for the second time in barely more than three months when the teams play in the Motor City Bowl on Dec. 26 at Detroit's Ford Field.

The 24th-ranked Broncos will be playing their second straight game in Honolulu on Dec. 23 when they face East Carolina in the Hawaii Bowl.

GMAC Bowl Preview

The GMAC Bowl has been known for offense since the 2001 game became the highest-scoring one in bowl history. This year's matchup seems likely to continue that trend.

Tulsa (9-4) and Bowling Green (8-4) bring their high-powered offenses to Mobile, Ala., on Jan. 6 in the second-to-last game of the college football season.
