STANFORD, Calif. - For a school-record ninth consecutive season, Stanford will play in a postseason football bowl game.
The Cardinal (9-4) will face TCU (10-3) in the Valero Alamo Bowl on Dec. 28 in San Antonio, Texas. Kickoff is slated for 6 p.m. (PT), and ESPN will broadcast the game nationally.
The bowl appearance will be the 29th for No. 15 Stanford -- and first in the Alamo Bowl -- which enters the game after winning the Pac-12 North Division. Stanford traveled to Texas last season for the Sun Bowl, a 25-23 Cardinal win over North Carolina in El Paso.
A victory would give Stanford a seventh 10-win season in the past eight years, and sixth under head coach David Shaw.
Stanford and TCU met in 2007 and 2008, with the Horned Frogs winning both games.
