The 2012 Valero Alamo Bowl, the 20th edition of the game, was a postseason college football bowl game between the Texas Longhorns and the Oregon State Beavers at the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas, held on December 29, 2012 at 5:45 p.m. CST and was broadcast on ESPN. The game was the final contest of the 2012 NCAA Division I-Football Bowl Subdivision (Division I-FBS) football season for both teams, and ended in a 31–27 victory for Texas. Texas represented the Big 12 Conference (Big 12) in the game, while Oregon State represented the Pacific-12 Conference (Pac-12). Texas was selected as a participant in the 2012 Alamo Bowl following an 8–4 regular season, during which they won their first four games before losing two games. Texas then won four straight games before losing the final two contests of the season. Facing the Longhorns were the Oregon State Beavers with a regular season record of 9–3, highlighted with wins against two top–25 teams in a six-game winning streak to start the season, including then-No. 13 Wisconsin. However, the Beavers lost three of their final six games. The first half of the game featured a dominant performance by Oregon State. Texas was held to no first downs in the first quarter, the first occurrence of such since losing 21–63 to Oklahoma earlier in the year. At the end of the half, Oregon State led 20–10, which included two rushing touchdowns by the Beavers by running backs Storm Woods and Terron Ward. Texas' only touchdown came on a 64 yard touchdown on a reverse play by Marquise Goodwin. The second half of the game in contrast featured a dominant performance by Texas. Texas would score first in the half on a rushing touchdown by quarterback David Ash. Oregon State would respond with a touchdown at the end of the quarter; however, Texas would score 14 unanswered points in the fourth quarter to take their first lead of the game and would subsequently win after stopping Oregon State on their last possession, 31–27. Texas wide receiver Marquise Goodwin was named offensive player of the game.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.valeroalamobowl.com/main/bowl_history_detail.php?uid=22 )〕 He finished with four receptions for 68 receiving yards and one receiving touchdown, as well as 64 rushing yards, all of which came on one touchdown run. Texas defensive end Alex Okafor was named defensive player of the game. He finished with 4.5 sacks, an Alamo Bowl record and third most recorded in a Division I FBS bowl game.〔 ==Teams== The Alamo Bowl had contracts with the Big 12 and Pacific-12 Conferences that allowed them to select one team from each conference to participate in their annual game. By virtue of being the Big 12 champion, the Kansas State Wildcats were awarded an automatic Bowl Championship Series (BCS) bowl berth; they would play in the 2013 Fiesta Bowl. Although the Oklahoma Sooners finished the season as Big 12 co–champions and qualified for selection in a BCS bowl berth, they were not selected for at-large positions in the Fiesta Bowl or the Sugar Bowl. No. 4 Oregon and No. 3 Florida took the at-large BCS positions, respectively. As a result, Oklahoma was selected to play in the Cotton Bowl. This caused Texas, ranked third in the conference at the end of the season, to be selected to play in the Alamo Bowl. Oregon State finished fourth in the Pac-12 at the end of the season. As Pac-12 champion, the Stanford Cardinal was awarded an automatic invitation to the Rose Bowl after defeating the UCLA Bruins in the 2012 Pac-12 Football Championship Game. Despite not participating in the conference championship because of its loss to Stanford, Oregon was selected to fill the at-large position in the BCS. UCLA was instead selected to play in the 2012 Holiday Bowl.〔 This left Oregon State, the only remaining ranked team in the Pac-12 conference, to be selected to play in the Alamo Bowl. On December 2, 2012, Texas and Oregon State accepted invitations to play in the 20th edition of the Alamo Bowl on December 29, 2012. The Longhorns and Beavers have faced each other twice, in 1980 and in 1987; Texas won both games.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.mackbrown-texasfootball.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/all-time-record-teams.html )〕 In the first meeting, the Texas team shut out Oregon State, 35–0; in the second meeting, Texas won 61–16.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.mackbrown-texasfootball.com/sports/m-footbl/spec-rel/all-time-results.html )〕 The bowl game will be Oregon State's 15th bowl game, with their last being a 20–44 loss to the BYU Cougars in the 2009 Las Vegas Bowl.〔 The game will be Texas' 51st bowl appearance, which is second-most in the nation. Texas has played in the Alamo Bowl once before, when they defeated the Iowa Hawkeyes 26–24 in the 2006 Alamo Bowl.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「2012 Alamo Bowl」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
