The No. 14 Oklahoma
State Cowboys used a
balanced offensive attack
to knock off the Arizona
Wildcats in the 2010 Valero
Alamo Bowl.
Before coming to San
Antonio, Oklahoma State
wide receiver, Justin
Blackmon, had to make
a stop in Florida to pick
up the Biletnikoff Award
as the best receiver in the country. The Biletnikoff
winner impressed under the Dome’s bright lights
as he hauled in nine catches for 117 yards and two
touchdowns.
The win netted the Cowboys their 11th victory of
the season, the most in program history at the time.
The Cowboy defense held Arizona quarterback
Nick Foles in check - intercepting him three times
and holding the Wildcat offense to 10 points.
The 2009 Valero Alamo
Bowl was one for the ages
as Texas Tech interim
coach Ruffin McNeil led
the Red Raiders to a 41-31
upset over the Michigan
State Spartans.
TTU quarterback Taylor
Potts completed 29 passes
for 372 yards and two TDs
in the win. Running back
Baron Batch balanced
the Red Raider attack by running for 100 yards in
addition to two scores.
Future NFL Pro Bowler, Kirk Cousins, struggled
as the Spartan leader threw two interceptions in the
contest.
The game went back and forth through three
quarters before Michigan State took a 31-27 lead
early in the 4th. But Steven Sheffield gave the Red
Raiders a lead with just over five minutes left in the
game, and Baron Batch finished it off with another
touchdown later in the quarter.
The win kicked off a four-bowl game win streak
for Texas Tech.

The 2008 Valero
Alamo Bowl marked the
second time in the bowl’s
history that the game was
decided in overtime. After
all was said and done, No.
23 Missouri had knocked
off No. 20 Northwestern
after All-American
Jeremy Maclin hauled in a
touchdown in overtime.
Earlier in the game,
Maclin electrified the crowd with a 75-yard punt
return for a touchdown, the second-longest in
Alamo Bowl history, late in the first half to tie the
game.
Northwestern quarterback CJ Bacher had his
best game of the season as his 304 yards were
his season-high and his three touchdowns tied his
season’s best. But the Missouri defense held strong
on the last play of overtime as they batted down
Bacher’s attempt to solidify its first Valero Alamo
Bowl victory.
