Summary
Texas sports writer Jim Reeves (Dallas Cowboys: Legends of America's Team) has done it again. Revo has written a college football book far more compelling than Notre Dame's Rudy.
Shortly after his father died, Bram Kohlhausen was made starting quarterback in the last game of his senior year after Texas Christian University's star QB was arrested for punching a San Antonio cop in a Riverwalk bar. Bram was a walk-on who had never started in a four-year college game, let alone a nationally televised bowl game.
Behind 31-0 at halftime against the Oregon Ducks, Bram would win the game in three nail-biting overtimes in what likely is bowl history's most thrilling comebacks.

Critic reviews
"''A deeply reported and well-told account of a legendary day on the gridiron... Even readers who have no affiliation with TCU will find themselves caught up in this tale of triumph.'' -- KIRKUS REVIEWS
“Now that Jim Reeves has written a book about the 2016 Alamo Bowl, the astounding result of that game has become official. It deserved nothing less.” (Chuck Culpepper, Washington Post)
“A candid and poignant true life parable of one young man's winding journey from unfilled promises to a moment of magical destiny. A beautiful, uplifting story, so very well told.” (Carlton Stowers, two-time Edgar winner and author of Staubach: Portrait of the Brightest Star)
“Few writers have the heart and talent to do this story justice. I’m not at all surprised that Jim Reeves, one of my professional heroes, is more than up to the task. This book is a must-read, especially in these difficult times.” (Tim Madigan, New York Times best-selling author of The Burning: The Tulsa Race Massacre of 1921)
