The Texas Longhorns and the Oregon Ducks will finish their 2013 seasons against each other with the Alamo Bowl coming up on Monday night from the Alamodome in San Antonio and the game will be starting up at 6:45 pm on ESPN on TV and the game will be streaming on the WatchESPN website and has two teams looking to end on a high note after disappointing seasons.
Texas comes into the game after a loss to Baylor in the Big 12 finale and Mack Brown comes in after nearly two decades and he will be done with the Longhorns after this season and this is his final game and the team is hoping to give him a win, but it will be tough against the Ducks and an Oregon team that puts up some huge numbers overall. The Ducks average over 500 yards per game and that's on the low end and the team scores nearly 50 points per game and that should be tough for a team that fired their defensive coordinator this season.
Oregon comes into the matchup after a close win over rivals Oklahoma State and the team got nearly 300 yards from Marcus Mariota and he will be coming back to school next year and the team will be national championship favorites once again with him coming back and the team comes into the game against Texas with the ninth ranked rushing offense and third ranked scoring offense and they are averaging 21 points per game on defense and that means the Longhorns must be at their best on both sides of the ball to get the win on Monday night.
