Alamo Bowl: RG3 Runs And Throws For TD In Possible Farewell As Bears Outgun Huskies In Offensive Slugfest

At San Antonio:


Running back Terrance Ganaway ran for 200 yards and five touchdowns on Thursday night as the Baylor Bears (10-3; #12 in the final BCS rankings) picked up their school record-tying tenth win of the season as they outlasted the Washington Huskies (7-6) 67-56 in the Alamo Bowl.  


In what may have been his final game in a Bears uniform, quarterback Robert Griffin III threw for one touchdown (11 yards to Kendall Wright) and ran for another (24 yards).


The 123 points scored Thursday night marked an NCAA record for most combined points scored in a bowl game in regulation time.  The 1,377 combined yards of total offense is also a new NCAA single-game bowl record.

It's RG3!

Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III, the humble son of two retired Army sergeants, beat out his Stanford counterpart Andrew Luck in winning the Heisman Trophy on Saturday night.  Alabama running back Trent Richardson finished third.


Mr Griffin became the first player from a private parochial school two bring home College Football's top individual honor since BYU's Ty Detmer in 1990.


RG III threw for more than 4000 yards and had a hand in 45 touchdowns for the 9-3 Bears.
