BOWL PREVIEW: Arizona/ Nebraska

In stark contrast to the prior game, we have a match up of higher interest. The Arizona Wildcats and Nebraska Cornhuskers travel to San Diego for the Holiday Bowl. The Huskers come in with the nations 9th ranked defense led by high profile DE and sure first round draft pick Ndamukong Suh. Offensively the Wildcats run a high flying spread offense led by QB Nick Foles. The attack has been a balance one yielding 160 yds on the ground and 240 yds thru the air. Meanwhile, Nebraska has struggled on offense behind a gritty but ineffective QB Zac Lee. I expect Nebraska's defense with slow down the Cats spread attack, but the Huskers struggles on offense may hurt them in the end. Arizona played the 7th ranked schedule in the nation, so they are no stranger to tough opponents. This one should be a good one and may not be settled till the final gun. Tough to lay any points in a game like this.
-Take Arizona +3
