Bram Kohlhausen, TCU’s backup quarterback, wasn’t supposed to play in Saturday’s Alamo Bowl. But two days earlier, starting quarterback Trevone Boykin got into a barroom brawl for which he was suspended by coach Gary Patterson. Things looked bleak for the Horned Frogs in their pending battle with the Oregon Ducks. In steps Kohlhausen for his first start as a college quarterback.

Down 31-0 at halftime, Kohlhausen made sitting ducks out of the Ducks in the second half. For his first start, he completed 28 of 45 passes for 351 yards and two touchdowns. He also ran in for two more scores, including the game winner in triple-overtime. Not bad for a TCU walk-on.

Oregon lost its starting quarterback in the first half, but unlike Kohlhausen, their backup wasn’t up to the task and from then on the ducks were dead ducks.

TCU’s 47-41 victory was the greatest comeback in college football bowl history.

It’s too bad that TCU won’t be able use Kohlhausen next football season. His first game as a starter was also his last game as a college football player.
