Nearly three years later, Davis Webb remembers the night clearly.
In fact, he still can go through Arizona State's personnel.
"One thing I remember, honestly, was how many great players Arizona State had,'' Webb said Tuesday in a telephone interview. "The defensive end, Carl Bradford had a really good day against us. Will Sutton, obviously, had a great legacy at Arizona State. You had (Alden) Darby at safety. Taylor Kelly was a great quarterback."
Yet, on that day – Dec. 30, 2013 – Webb, then a freshman at Texas Tech, was the best player at the Holiday Bowl.
