But while the Cowboys offense finally got into a rhythm, it was assisted by an Oklahoma State defense that made the necessary halftime adjustments to slow down Coan and the Notre Dame offense. The Irish signal-caller may have had yards and four touchdowns in the first half -- numbers that were already good enough for the best performance by a quarterback against Oklahoma State this season -- but he had just 40 passing yards in the third quarter.
It should be noted Coan did finish the game with yards and an impressive effort late in the fourth quarter, setting a Fiesta bowl passing record with the performance. The play of the game might have come early in the fourth quarter when All-American safety Kolby Harvell-Peel crashed in to make a stop on Notre Dame freshman running back Logan Diggs and stripped the ball free before he was brought to the ground.
Even though Notre Dame would get the ball right back with a forced fumble at the goal line, the loss of field position and the impact it had on Oklahoma State's confidence set the tone for the fourth quarter. The previous record for the biggest comeback in Oklahoma State history was 20 points -- in against Colorado.
Kentucky nearly blew a point halftime lead but Wan'Dale Robinson and Chris Rodriguez helped lead a game-winning touchdown drive in the final minutes to secure the Citrus Bowl victory against Iowa. Robinson was the star of the game, pulling 10 catches for yards including some incredible grabs on the game-winning drive.
More than half of Will Levis' pass completions went to Robinson, and his performance against a very good Iowa pass defense made up nearly two quarters of scoreless football from the Kentucky offense in the second half.
Iowa had the opposite game flow offensively, stuck in the mud in the first half and then finally putting things together for two touchdown drives near the end of the third quarter and beginning of the fourth quarter.
But ultimately three Iowa turnovers kept the Hawkeyes from being able to claim the win, as the Wildcats picked off Spencer Petras in the final minute to seal the win. This is Kentucky's fourth straight bowl win under Mark Stoops, who has gotten the Wildcats to the postseason every years since Box Score.
Penn State, which was missing a number of starters -- particularly on the defensive side of the ball -- came out strong to start but seemed to run out of gas in the second half. The Nittany Lions were up at halftime, but the Razorbacks took control with a point third quarter and it was all she wrote. The Razorbacks struggled early a bit themselves, as the offense seemed unsure of itself with star receiver Treylon Burks opting out of the game.
The Hogs then began to lean on their ground game with quarterback K. Jefferson and a host of backs, and it was effective against a thin Penn State defense. Jefferson finished with yards rushing and only threw for 90 yards, while Dominique Johnson, Raheim Sanders and Malik Hornsby combined for yards rushing as the Razorbacks rushed for yards as a team.
In there like swimwear pic. As for Penn State, it was its own worst enemy at times. The Nittany Lions managed only three points out of three red-zone trips, and failed to take advantage of two Arkansas red-zone turnovers. Box score. The Bulldogs and Crimson Tide will meet in the title game for the second time in the last five years.
Georgia marched 80 yards on its first possession of the game and never stopped in the opening 30 minutes, becoming the first team in CFP history to score points on its first five possessions. While that didn't make for an exciting game, it at least allowed any neutral parties to get on with their holiday plans. Unfortunately for the Wolverines, a pass from Cade McNamara to Erick All on fourth down was off All's fingertips and resulted in a turnover on downs. A few plays later, Georgia's Kenny McIntosh took a hand-off on a sweep and surprised nearly everyone in Hard Rock Stadium when he pulled up and tossed an easy touchdown pass to Adonai Mitchell.
From there, the rout was on. Michigan had its moments, but it turned the ball over on four straight possessions two interceptions, a fumble and once on downs in the second and third quarters to immediately destroy any momentum it was attempting to build.
Georgia was not nearly as wasteful with its opportunities and looked a lot more like the team we saw during the regular season than the one that lost to Alabama in the SEC title game a few weeks ago.
The redshirt senior rushed for an Alabama bowl record yards on 26 carries to deliver the Crimson Tide the Cotton Bowl and their sixth appearance in the College Football Playoff National Championship. Heisman Trophy-winning quarterback Bryce Young threw for just yards against Cincinnati's elite pass defense, but he tossed three touchdown passes to as many different receivers. Young broke program records for both single-season yards passing and passing touchdowns in his first game since winning the Heisman.
The Tide put together an play scoring drive -- featuring 10 rushes -- on their first possession to set the tone for the game. The Bearcats managed to get into the red zone three times, but they settled for field goals twice against the most vaunted dynasty in college football history.
Cincinnati managed to compile just 72 yards in the first half, the fewest in any half in College Football Playoff history. Cincy played better in the second half but still averaged just 3.
Quarterback Desmond Ridder struggled mightily, completing just of passes for yards. Running back Jerome Ford had 77 yards but only got 15 rushes in the game. Alabama has now won all six matchups against Cincinnati in their combined history, though the teams had not played since The Tide await either No. Central Michigan accepted a late bid to the Tony the Tiger Sun Bowl, but showed no signs of being off-schedule with its fast start and eventual win against Washington State.
When the game started, Washington State showed no signs of an advantage from being slated to play in the game all month. CMU jumped to a halftime lead and defended that advantage throughout the second half, holding on with a few key defensive stops in the fourth quarter for the victory. Washington State's offense was entirely ineffective early, but caught a spark when Victor Gabalis came came on at quarterback and led three touchdown drives in the final 20 minutes of the game.
For Central Michigan, the win is the program's first in a bowl game since and snaps a five-game bowl losing streak. Wake Forest has won 11 games for the second time in program history after an impressive effort to put away Rutgers in the second half of a unique edition of the Gator Bowl.
Early on in the game it looked like the heavy underdogs were poised to put a scare in the Demon Deacons, but the Wake Forest defense pulled in a couple of interceptions and came up big on third down en route to a second half shutout.
Wake Forest quarterback Sam Hartman had a phenomenal game, totaling yards and three touchdowns through the air leading an offense that moved the ball well most of the game. The point margin could have been even larger if not for some red zone stands by the Rutgers defense that prompted field goals instead of touchdowns.
Wake Forest kicker Nick Sciba was a perfect three-for-three on his field goal attempts, connecting from 23, 29 and 37 yards to extend the team's lead. In addition to getting Wake Forest to 11 wins for just the second time in school history, the victory improves the Demon Deacons to in bowl games under Dave Clawson.
Wisconsin knocked off Arizona State in a Las Vegas Bowl that was every bit as exciting as the final score suggested.
While it finished as a one-score game, there was never a moment in the game when Arizona State -- which was down a host of starters on both sides of the ball -- felt like a real threat to take the lead. Jayden Daniels threw an interception on the game's first possession, which Wisconsin quickly turned into a touchdown. Not long after, it was Wisconsin, and the Badgers never looked back.
Wisconsin's year old running back we are legally required to tell you he's only 17 Braelon Allen led the way for the Badgers offense, rushing for yards on 29 carries. Wisconsin's passing attack was nonexistent for the most part, and Jake Ferguson led the team with three catches for 33 yards despite missing most of the game due to an injury. Jayden Daniels did everything he could to keep the Sun Devils in the game, but his one-man show was one of many to fail in Las Vegas.
Still, he threw for yards and rushed for 40, accounting for of the yards the Sun Devils finished with. Michigan State used a point fourth quarter to come back from a deficit and beat Pitt in the Peach Bowl.
The Panthers began the game without star quarterback Kenny Pickett and were quickly reduced to their third-string QB when backup Nick Patti injured his shoulder in the first quarter. Michigan State overcame some shaky play of its own on offense as it was without star running back Kenneth Walker III, but the Spartans got things together just in time. Payton Thorne threw for yards and three touchdowns, while Jalen Nailor and Jayden Reed combined for 12 catches, yards and two scores.
Michigan State finishes the season , which is the most wins it's had in a season since going in Pitt finishes the season at , its most wins since Even with the loss, it's hard to argue that any season that includes an ACC title is anything but a rousing success for the Panthers.
A wild Music City Bowl ended Thursday with Purdue winning a thriller over Tennessee, thanks in part to a controversial overtime officiating decision. Mitchell Fineran won it for the Boilermakers on a yard field goal after the Volunteers failed to score in overtime. However, there was debate over whether Tennessee running back Jaylen Wright scored or was stopped short of the goal-line on a fourth-down attempt during the Volunteers' possession in overtime.
The ruling on the field was that Wright was stopped short. However, a video review appeared to show that he was never down and reached the ball over the goal-line while on top of a Purdue defender. Tennessee was denied a TD after this play was ruled a turnover on downs: pic. But after a review, the officiating crew upheld the call on the field, which gave the Boilermakers the football needing only a field goal to win it.
Fineran's make then brought an end to a game that featured nearly 1, yards of total offense between the two teams. It was the highest scoring Music City Bowl ever due to a frenetic finish to regulation. The teams combined for 28 points in a span of less than three and a half minutes late in the fourth quarter. Tennessee kicker Chase McGrath came up short on a potential game-winning yard field goal attempt as time expired, and the controversial overtime period ensued.
With the win, Purdue finishes the season , while Tennessee finished In some ways, the loss for the Volunteers mirrored their loss to Ole Miss in October when Tennessee fans littered the field with trash amid displeasure with the officiating.
The Volunteers were penalized a whopping 15 times for yards in the Music City Bowl, which only served to heighten the frustration with the overtime spot for a pro-Tennessee crowd at the game in Nashville, Tennessee.
South Carolina was a double-digit underdog by kickoff, but the Gamecocks got off to a roaring start with two splash-play touchdowns and start to the game. South Carolina used two quarterbacks as both Dakereon Joyner and Zeb Noland had success running an offense that leaned on the ground game once the Gamecocks established their advantage in the game.
