SAN ANTONIO — Chidobe Awzuie could have big games ahead in the NFL.
But the Colorado senior cornerback, who appeared to be hampered by a turf toe injury Thursday night, had a first half to forget against another player destined for the next level.
Oklahoma State junior wide receiver James Washington had a monster performance in the Alamo Bowl, piling up seven catches for 116 yards and a touchdown in the first half alone, helping the Cowboys to a 17-0 lead.
Washington earlier this week announced, along with junior Cowboys’ quarterback Mason Rudolph, that he would be back for his senior season after a junior year in which he caught 62 passes for 1,209 yards, an eye-popping average of 19.
