Ten moments that helped shape Robert Griffin III’s career, plus images to remember from Baylor’s historic 2011 season.

Faith: something that holds the promise of a better tomorrow. Something shown by Heisman Trophy winner Robert Griffin III and the reality of the tomorrow promised by head coach Art Briles when he came to Baylor in 2008.

Brittney Griner scored 20 points, Odyssey Sims had 19 points and 11 assists and top-ranked Baylor beat Wisconsin-Milwaukee 72-41 on Thursday night for its 28th consecutive home win.

He is one of three players in the history of the FBS with more than 10,000 yards passing and 2,000 yards rushing, graduated both high school and college early, competed in the Olympic Trials at the age of 17, is a finalist for the Manning Award, the Walter Camp Player of the Year Award, the Davey O’Brien National Quarterback Award and the Heisman trophy.

Even Superman can’t do it alone. While most of the credit for the Bears’ stellar offense this season is attributed to Heisman hopeful quarterback Robert Griffin III, and rightfully so, one player stands out as Griffin’s right-hand man when the Bears take the field on offense.

The Bears will have the luxury of staying in Texas to play in their second bowl in 2 years. The Valero Alamo Bowl will be played at San Antonio’s Alamodome, in San Antonio which has a capacity of 66, 000.

The punchline, “Texans are very fond of showing off the places where we killed people,” may have some thinking the obvious place to visit in San Antonio is the Alamo, but the historic city has much more to offer visitors than an old battle ground.

The ninth-ranked Texas defense made statements all week, saying it would not let junior quarterback Robert Griffin III win the Heisman against it. In the 48-24 victory Saturday Floyd Casey Stadium, however, it was Baylor’s defense that made the difference.

Baylor looked to have control of this game, grabbing a 14-0 lead before the eight-minute mark in the first quarter. Junior quarterback Robert Griffin III found senior receiver Kendall Wright for a 59-yard touchdown pass on the second play of the game.
