Nebraska winds up Holiday Bowl preparations

The Nebraska football team is winding down its preparations for the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl matchup against Arizona.

After a solid two-hour practice Sunday morning, the team took a little time off to enjoy an afternoon at the San Diego Zoo. After a final full practice Monday, the team will head to Qualcomm Stadium Tuesday for its final walk-through before the Dec. 30 matchup against Arizona in the Holiday Bowl.

It's been an up-and-down season for Nebraska football fans, as they have seen the Huskers suffer a couple of heart-breaking losses and won some dramatic games this season. Fans are hoping to see the team end the year on the right foot with its 10th win of the year at the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl, a level Nebraska has not seen since 2003.

Nebraska makes it to California, prepares for Arizona

The Nebraska football team overcame Mother Nature to make the trip to California and begin preparations to take on the Arizona Wildcats in the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl on Dec. 30 in San Diego.

Nebraska weather hit full force earlier in the week, and blizzard conditions were still in full effect when the Huskers boarded a charter flight and left behind 10 inches of snow and monster snow drifts in Lincoln to make the flight to sunny San Diego.

The team landed in California late Friday night and will hit the ground running today, beginning workouts in preparation for the Dec. 30 battle with the Wildcats at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego.

This will be the third meeting between Nebraska and Arizona and the second in the Holiday Bowl. In their last meeting, Arizona defeated Nebraska 23-20 in the 1999 Holiday Bowl.

It should be a great matchup between two great teams, and you can get tickets to see Nebraska take on Arizona in the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl now at Ticket Express -- where no Nebraska football game is ever sold out.

Nebraska leaves wintry conditions for sunny San Diego

While another Nebraska winter has hit the state full force, the Nebraska football team is making their way to warm and sunny San Diego to prepare for the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl.

Nebraska carries a 9-4 record into the Wednesday, Dec. 30 matchup with Arizona, who finished the season tied for runner-up in the Pac 10 Conference. This will be the second time these two teams have met in the Holiday Bowl, with Arizona winning the 1999 matchup 23-20.

Nebraska has hung its hat on its defense this year, which was led by All-American defensive tackle Ndamukong Suh. Suh led the team in tackles for the second straight year, recorded 12 sacks and won just about every possible award available for a defensive tackle. He won the Outland and Lombardi awards and finished fourth in the balloting for the Heisman Trophy.

Nebraska's offense will look to correct what was an awful performance in the Big 12 Championship. Nebraska put up just over 100 yards in total offense, the worst in recent memory, yet still were in position to pull of a major upset before a last-second field goal gave Texas a 13-12 win.

Nebraska looking for 10th win at Holiday Bowl

Nebraska hasn't had a 10-win season since 2003, but can reach that plateau with a win over Arizona in the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl on Dec. 30.

The Nebraska football team worked out for 90 minutes early Saturday morning, and after a little break, the team will get back together on Christmas Eve to begin preparations for the challenges the Wildcats will bring to the table at the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl.

Arizona finished tied for second in the Pac 10 this year and had three defensive players named to All-Conference honors by The Sporting News. Named to this year's team were end Ricky Elmore, tackle Earl Mitchell and cornerback Trevin Wade, all of whom helped lead an Arizona defense that was ranked 21st in the nation in total defense.

Nebraska's defense, of course, was one of the top teams in the nation this year, nearly capping the season with a major upset before losing 13-12 to Texas in the Big 12 Championship.

You'll get to see two great defenses go at it in the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl. Get your tickets to see Nebraska face Arizona now at Ticket Express -- where no Nebraska football game is ever sold out.

Nebraska getting ready to go bowling

Nebraska football is going bowling once again, as the Huskers make the school's 50th appearance in a bowl game at the Holiday Bowl on Dec. 30 in San Diego, Calif.

Nebraska will take on Arizona for the second time in the Holiday Bowl. The two teams knocked helmets in the 1998 version of the Holiday Bowl, with the Wildcats coming out on top 23-20.

The Wildcats finished the season with an 8-4 record and tied for second in the Pac 10 Conference. Among their wins was a season-ending upset of perennial power USC, and they played one of the 20 toughest schedules in all of college football this season. Their 8-4 record was the team's best since matching that mark in the 1998 season.

Nebraska had an impressive season this year, finishing 9-4. In spite of a couple of heartbreaking losses to Virginia Tech and Texas and an inexplicable loss to Iowa State, the Huskers managed to win the Big 12 North Division title and came within one second of pulling off a major upset in the conference championship game, putting them in good position for a return to the top of the college football world in years to come.

The 2009 Pacific Life Holiday Bowl is sure to be an exciting matchup as Nebraska and Arizona prepare to match up for the big game. Get your tickets to see the Huskers and Wildcats in the Holiday Bowl now at Ticket Express -- where no Nebraska football game is ever sold out.

Nebraska hits practice field to prep for Holiday Bowl

Nebraska football coach Bo Pelini had the Huskers back in practice Saturday morning before flying to New York City to support Ndamukong Suh, who was a finalist for the Heisman Trophy.

While Suh did not win the Heisman, he cleaned up with a ton of awards, including the Outland and Lombardi trophies. He will be honored locally at the Outland banquet in Omaha this January, weeks after leading the Huskers in their 2009 finale at the Holiday Bowl in San Diego, Calif.

As far as practice goes, Pelini told reporters that he doesn't expect any major changes between now and the Dec. 30 matchup with Arizona at the Holiday Bowl, but expects the time before the game to be spent improving execution and simplifying things."

Nebraska, 9-4, is set to face an 8-4 Arizona team that beat perennial Pac 10 powerhouse USC and finished as the conference runner-up. Pelini said his team is focused on getting ready to play "a good football team in Arizona" at the Holiday Bowl.

Nebraska standout wins major awards

When you think of award-winning Nebraska football players, Heisman Trophy winners like Johnny Rodgers quickly come to mind. Long-time fans will also remember the great linemen like Dave Rimington, who was the first to win two Outland Awards.

Now you can add Ndamukong Suh to the list of legendary award-winning Nebraska stars, after he finished off what is believed to be the best-ever cache of awards earned by a Cornhusker.

Earlier in the week, Suh was named the winner of the Bronco Nagurski Trophy and the Lombardi Award. On Thursday, he added two more statues after earning the Bednarik Award and the Outland Trophy, becoming the sixth Husker to win the coveted honor for the nation's most outstanding lineman.

Suh has been a dominating presence on the Nebraska defensive line the last two years. His showcase game against Missouri earlier in the year started the hype for a run at the Heisman Trophy, and he will be one of five finalists in New York when the award is presented Saturday night.

You can see Suh's final college game later this month when Nebraska takes on Arizona in the Holiday Bowl. Get your tickets to see the Huskers and Wildcats on Dec. 30 in San Diego, Calif., now at Ticket Express -- where no Nebraska football game is ever sold out.

Nebraska just misses upset, headed to Holiday Bowl

The Nebraska football team is going bowling again, but it was very close to pulling off a colossal upset.

The Nebraska defense kept Texas' quarterback Colt McCoy on his heels the whole night and nearly pulled off an upset before the Longhorns kicked a field goal as time ran out to post a 13-12 win over Nebraska in the Big 12 Championship Game.

The Huskers get a pretty nice consolation prize out of the deal, though, as they will travel to San Diego, Calif., to take on Arizona in the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl.

Nebraska is making its 46th appearance in a bowl game and second in a row, following up last year's win over Clemson in the Gator Bowl. The Huskers will take on a Wildcat team that finished second in the Pac 10 and upset USC to close out the regular season.

Nebraska has never beaten Arizona. The Wildcats beat Nebraska 23-20 in the Holiday Bowl in 1998, while the two teams played to a 14-14 tie in 1961 in Lincoln.

The Nebraska defense will try to stop an Arizona offense that ranked in the top 40 this year, while the Nebraska offense will try to figure out a Wildcat defense that ranked 21st in the nation while averaging 315.8 yards allowed this season.

Don't miss out on what should be a great bowl game. Get your tickets to see Nebraska take on Arizona in the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl now at Ticket Express -- where no Nebraska football game is ever sold out.

Suh earns All-American honor

As expected, the awards are starting to come in for Nebraska football standout Ndamukong Suh.
The senior defensive tackle was named this week to the American Football Coaches Association Coaches' All-America First Team. He was one of six Big 12 players named to the first team, and is the first Nebraska player named to the first team since defensive back Josh Bullocks and punter Kyle Larson were selected in 2003.
Suh has established himself as the premiere defensive player in college football this season as leader of one of the nation's most dominating defenses. He has 70 total tackles, 17 coming for a loss, and 7.5 sacks. He also has 24 quarterback hurries, 10 pass breakups and three blocked kicks in leading the Blackshirts.
Suh is already a finalist for six major awards, including the Walter Camp Player of the Year. He is the only defensive player among the five finalists for the award and, if selected, would be just the third defensive player to win the award in its history.
You can see Suh and the Nebraska football team take on Texas in the Big 12 Championship Game this Saturday in Dallas, Texas. Get your tickets now at Ticket Express -- where no Nebraska football game is ever sold out.

Nebraska looks to continue road success

If you are a Nebraska football fan who likes numbers, here's a number that will really get your attention as the Huskers prepare to face Texas in the Big 12 Championship Game:

4-0.

That is Nebraska's record in conference road games this season. Nebraska posted wins at Missouri, Baylor, Kansas and Colorado this season, which went a long way to helping them win the Big 12 North Division for the first time since 2006. They are one of 13 teams in the nation this year to go perfect on the road, joining noteworthy BCS road warriors like Florida, Alabama, Boise State, Cincinnati, Texas and TCU.

The Huskers are 4-1 away from Memorial Stadium this year, with the lone loss a 16-15 heartbreaker at Virginia Tech earlier in the season. Counting last year's win at Kansas State, the Huskers have won five straight conference road games, all of them by at least eight points.

The Huskers will be heading to Dallas, Texas, which will make the Big 12 Championship Game about as close to a road game as one could expect, considering the Huskers will take on the Texas Longhorns, whose home games are played not far from Cowboys Stadium in Austin, Texas.

Although Nebraska has traditionally been very tough to beat in their own Memorial Stadium, this year's team heads into Saturday's Big 12 Championship Game feeling quite comfortable with playing on the road.
