Big plays key another big bowl comeback for TCU
It wasn't a 31-point comeback, but it was just about as fun for Gary Patterson and TCU.
The No. 15 Horned Frogs, two years after a record-setting comeback in the same building, put together another double-digit come-from-behind victory in San Antonio's Alamodome on Thursday night. TCU recovered from an 18-point deficit to emerge with a 39-37 win over No. 13 Stanford in the Valero Alamo Bowl.
After Stanford jumped out to a 21-3 second-quarter lead and held a 21-10 halftime advantage, Patterson considered changing his shirt, something he did at halftime in the 2015 Alamo Bowl when the Horned Frogs trailed Oregon 31-0, a game in which they came back to win 47-41 in triple overtime.
