Bowl History:
The Alamo Bowl began in 1993 and has been played at the Alamodome in San Antonio since its inception. The 2005 game, won by the Nebraska Cornhuskers after trailing in the fourth quarter, ended on a memorable 8-lateral play by the Michigan Wolverines. During the controversial play, a number of members of both teams and the media entered the field before the play was actually blown dead to end the game. The 2007 game (won by Penn State) was also memorable for being the most-attended event in the Alamo Dome's history with 66,166 fans filling the facility.
