The school currently owns the record for the largest come-from-behind victory in bowl history when they rallied from 31 points down in the third quarter to defeat Minnesota in three overtimes.

    Among those that have made significant contributions to the Red Raiders program are E.J. Holub, Byron Hanspard, Kliff Klingsbury, Roland Mitchell, Bam Morris, Sammy Morris, Wes Welker, Marcus Coleman and Zach Thomas.
