Texas is the back-to-back Alamo Bowl champion, knocking off Colorado 55-23 at the Alamodome in San Antonio.
The win gave the No. 20 Longhorns (7-3) seven wins for the fourth consecutive year under head coach Tom Herman and dropped the Buffaloes to (4-2) after a shortened Pac-12 season. CU hasn't won a bowl game in four attempts since 2004's Houston Bowl victory over UTEP.
Still, Tuesday marked the first postseason game for the program since it dropped the 2016 Alamo Bowl and provides a foundation for first-year head coach Karl Dorrell after Mel Tucker abruptly left to take the same job at Michigan State in February.
