With the Valero Alamo Bowl fast approaching, we look at which Texas Longhorns will be key for a victory on Tuesday night in San Antonio.

D’Shawn Jamison, Cornerback

D’Shawn Jamison is more than just a cornerback that can make plays for this team. He is also dynamic in the return game. He returned two big kicks for the team this year. One was the touchdown against Oklahoma State to keep them within striking distance. The other being the almost touchdown return against Kansas State. That is an area where the Shark can help Texas.

The other being on defense and creating turnovers. Jamison hasn’t had the same level of success as he did a year ago. However, Colorado quarterback Sam Noyer will provide the opportunities in this game. In five games, Noyer has thrown five interceptions. He hasn’t been as effective as a passer this year. Look for Jamison to try and snag one of his passes against this Texas defense.
