Valero Alamo Bowl will have intriguing choices | San Antonio Express-News

It'd be really cool for the Frogs to face Stanford.

The bowl has a shot at potential Heisman finalists such as TCU quarterback Trevone Boykin and Stanford do-everything offensive threat Christian McCaffrey.

There’s a potential of attracting one of college football’s traditional blue-blood powers in a Southern California team which has never played in San Antonio before. The same with TCU, which has developed into one of the recent powers with a 22-3 record during the past two seasons.

TCU DE Commit Mat Boesen Now a Four-Star | Scout.com

Boesen, a transfer from Long Beach C.C. will have two years of eligibility.

Evaluation: Boesen is very strong at the point of attack. he is very good against the run, but is not just a one-trick pony, as he will also be able to put pressure on quarterbacks. He can di some multiple things in the defense, putting his hand on the ground as a true defensive end or standing up as an edge rushing linebacker. Is college ready from a strength and frame standpoint and should be an instant contributor.
