Purple or black?

TCU coach Gary Patterson might make a game-time decision on his choice of shirt for the Alamo Bowl.

Patterson switched from a black shirt to purple at halftime of the 2016 game and — voila! — TCU matched the largest comeback in bowl history by rallying from a 31-0 deficit to defeat Oregon 47-41 in three overtimes.
