The 1996 Alamo Bowl featured the Texas Tech Red Raiders and the Iowa Hawkeyes.
Though they finished tied for 2nd in the Big Ten Conference, they were invited to their fifth bowl game in five years.
The win was somewhat bittersweet for Iowa, as linebacker Mark Mitchell had lost his mother in a fatal car accident while she drove to San Antonio to attend what would be her son's final collegiate game.
Therefore, as a symbolic gesture of mourning, the entire Iowa team stripped their helmets of all markings, the game ball was also given to Mitchell.
Sedrick Shaw rushed 113 yards on 20 carries as the Red Raiders were held scoreless for the first time since 1987.
