The 2001 Alamo Bowl featured the Iowa Hawkeyes, and the Texas Tech Red Raiders.
At the end of the half kicker Clinton Greathouse kicked a 50-yard field goal to pull Tech to within 10–3.
In the third quarter, quarterback Kliff Kingsbury connected with wide receiver Wes Welker for a 20-yard touchdown pass to tie the game at 10.
