Fans will wait til the final click of the clock at the Holiday Bowl

It is early Sunday morning and in a few hours it will be official. The Arizona Wildcats, who are still celebrating their giant win over USC, will meet the Cornhuskers from Nebraska in the Holiday Bowl, slated for Dec. 30 in San Diego.

It's been a bumpy road for the Wildcats, but to their credit they've hung in there and were able to grab that coveted eighth win of the season with their stunning 21-17 win over the Trojans. The Cornhuskers, on the other hand, own a 9-4 record and they came within one second on Saturday of victory No. 10, but the replay convinced the officials to add back a second on the clock and allowed Texas to knock through a 46-yard field goal as the Longhorns escaped with a 13-12 win.

Just moments before, the Nebraska fans were ready to storm the field after Longhorns' quarterback Colt McCoy had unleashed a pass that sailed out-of-bounds. The officials gathered around the monitor and discovered that one second still remained in the battle. So, the Nebraska fans watched, some with probably their heads down, as the kick sailed through the uprights. It reminds me a little of the Arizona-Oregon game. The Arizona fans thought their Wildcats had won that one too, but in the end they were forced to watch the Oregon quarterback orchestrate a game-winning touchdown to the dismay of 59,000 plus fans at Arizona Stadium.

I get the feeling that both the Arizona fans and the Nebraska fans will wait til the stadium clock hits zero in San Diego. We hope it'll be the Arizona fans who will storm the field in this one.
