An Alamo Bowl rematch, of sorts, will take place on Sunday, with a trip to the Super Bowl on the line. Cincinnati Bengals head coach Zac Taylor and Kansas City Chiefs backup quarterback Chad Henne will see their two teams meet in this weekend’s AFC championship game.
The 2005 Alamo Bowl would see the Cornhuskers (7-4) travel to San Antonio, Texas, to take on No. 21 Michigan (7-4). Taylor and Henne would be the two starting quarterbacks in the postseason face-off. And the Huskers would come out on top with a 32-28.
The victory would be former Head Coach Bill Callahan’s lone bowl win as head coach at Nebraska. Athletic Director Tom Osborne would fire him following a 5-7 season in 2007, ending his Nebraska career with a record of 27-22 overall.
