In the Valero Alamo Bowl, No. 12 Washington pulled out a 27-20 victory over Texas.
Longhorns quarterback Quinn Ewers threw for a team-high 2,177 yards with 15 touchdowns and six interceptions this past year. And running back Bijan Robinson, who already declared for the 2023 NFL Draft, piled up 1,580 rushing yards with 18 rushing scores. He added 314 receiving yards with two more TDs.
Texas will likely be a top contender next season under head coach Steve Sarkisian.
