Alabama became the first team to record a shutout in the Goodyear Cotton Bowl Classic since LSU shutout Texas in the 1963 Classic.
The 38-point margin of victory was the third-largest point differential in Cotton Bowl history. It was also the most decisive shutout in Cotton Bowl history, topping Oklahoma A&M's 34-0 win over TCU in 1945.
Crimson Tide quarterback Jake Coker's .833 pass completion percentage (25 of 30) ranks second in Cotton Bowl history. Only Texas QB Bobby Layne's .917 performance (11 of 12) against Missouri in 1946 ranks higher.
Coker's 25 completions ranks ninth in Cotton Bowl history. Cyrus Jones' 80 punt return yards are the third-most in Cotton Bowl history.
