The Oregon Ducks Alamo Bowl Appearance against TCU appeared at first to be among the 2015 Bowl Season Blowout games. At the end of the first half, the 9-4 team out of the Pac-12 had a 31-0 lead, but the Horned Frogs saw opportunity with Oregon Starting Quarterback Vernon Adams out of the game to come back to win the game. Fans across the country talked about the comeback as it happened and why Jeff Lockie was playing as he could not lead the Offense in the second half. As a result the game was the highest ranked non-New Yearโs Day Bowl Twitter TV Rating according to SportsBusinessDaily.
