Anderson, a tailback completing his college career with an All-American season, rushed for 254 yards and three touchdowns during Colorado's 47-33 victory in the 1969 Liberty Bowl in Memphis. Anderson's Liberty Bowl records for rushing yardage, touchdowns and carries (35) still stand. And get this: Anderson had a 50-yard gain nullified by a penalty. Fullback Ward Walsh, who was not directly involved in Anderson's run, had flinched slightly before the snap. CU running back Bobby Anderson had "Our offensive line had a great game blocking quite the day against Alabama in the and the ball came my way most of the day," 1969 Liberty Bowl.

On offense and quarterback when starter Darian Hagan injured a defense, our men bristled with electricity." Hagan, a dual-threat quarterback, struggled in his finale as a Buffs player. He completed just 11-of-30 passes (for 210 yards) and netted only 12 yards on 14 rushes in Alabama's 30-25 victory in the 1991 Blockbuster Bowl at Miami. During the month between the conclusion of the regular season and the bowl game, Colorado coach Bill McCartney had switched from an option offense to a one-back, pass-oriented attack. But during the game, Alabama's defense appeared to anticipate every move. A friend of Hagan, who played for the Crimson Tide, later told the former Buffs star that Alabama had a spy watch CU's bowl practices in Miami. A freeway overlooked the practice field. "We'd never shown a one-back formation all year," Hagan explained.

    TEXANSTEXANS VS. AT PATRIOTS BILLS TTHOUSTONeXeX (8-7) NEW AN ANENGLAND (10-5) S S TEXANS WRAP UP THE REGULAR SEASON WITH A HOME DATE AGAINST PATRIOTS The Houston Texans return home after two road wins seeking their first winning season as they face the New Eng- land Patriots on January 3, 2010 at Noon at Reliant Stadium. The Texans enter Sunday in the playoff hunt. Houston looks to extend its winning streak to four straight which would tie its franchise-best mark from 2008. The Texans face the Patriots for the third time in team history. Houston looks to gain their first win in the series. Houston last hosted New England in 2003 when the eventual Super Bowl champions escaped town with a 23-20 win in overtime. Houston’s 379.3 yards of total offense per game ranks fifth in the NFL. The Texans are paced by a pair of league leaders. WR Andre Johnson leads the NFL with 1,504 receiving yards. He became only the second receiver in league history to post back-to-back 1,500 yard seasons. He is 71 yards shy of matching his career best in receiving yards from last season. Johnson looks to become the first player in over a decade to lead the league in receiving yards in consecutive seasons. QB Matt Schaub leads the NFL with a career-high 4,467 yards. If Schaub and John- son can finish the season at the top of their respective categories, they would become the eighth set of teammates since the 1970 NFL merger and first since 1998 to lead the league in passing and receiving yards in a single season.
