Texas to Alamo Bowl
The Gator Bowl has announced that West Virginia will be facing Georgia Tech on January 1, in Jacksonville, Florida.
For Texas that means a spot in the Alamo Bowl. The game will be played on December 30 in San Antonio -- not quite up to Texas expectations, certainly not after they had two games left in the regular season and just needed to beat Kansas State or Texas A&M to clinch the Big 12 South.
The season ended with a collapse, no doubt about that. But a lot of teams would welcome an invite to the Alamo Bowl. The Longhorns will be up against an underachieving Iowa squad that finished 6-6 this season. Last year saw Michigan and Nebraska face off in what became the most-watched college football game in ESPN's history. While Nebraska won that game, Ohio State won the Alamo Bowl in 2004.
This is Texas' first appearance in the Alamo Bowl.
