Steven Taylor, LB, Houston

Peach Bowl

Houston teammate Trevon Stewart earned All-Bowl Team recognition from the Associated Press, but linebacker Steven Taylor was equally integral to the Cougars’ Peach Bowl romp over Florida State.

Taylor delivered one of three Cougar sacks, recorded a team-high 2.5 tackles and helped key a run defense that limited Dalvin Cook to just 33 yards. Taylor also forced Cook’s fumble, a critical moment for the Houston defense.
