Holiday Bowl 2010: How Nebraska Football Will Keep Washington Leashed

On paper, this looks like the biggest mismatch in the bowl season apart from Oklahoma-UConn. Nebraska came in 1st spot inside the Huge 12 North and Washington completed the season in third spot in the Pacific-10. Having thumped Washington, 56-21, in September, the large and bold Nebraska Cornhuskers will attempt to get it done once more. Their opponents would totally love to pull an upset. Whenever a bully comes back around, the victim faces large decisions?astand up or be stomped on. Throngs of fans from Nebraska is going to be in town to see if the Huskers can thump Washington twice.

Reside from North park, at 10 p.m. EST, Qualcomm Stadium's lights will shine on Dec. 30 within the Vacation Bowl. A senior quarterback and leader on offense, Jake Locker's Huskies career can finish after that evening. He faced the ferocious Huskers defense captured. On Sept. 18, they met, and also the score doesn't actually indicate the whipping Nebraska gave Washington. Since that time, the Huskies think they are improved and they're out for revenge. Whether they are saying it publicly or not, there is a bad taste in their mouths in the Cornhuskers' dirt. It was flying in their faces in the course of the clouds of dust the Nebraska offense compiled on the strategy to the end zone. Within their very first meeting this season, Nebraska was ranked No. 8 within the nation. Massive Red went to Seattle and opened up a can of I-backs on the Washington Huskies. Right after the game, they were given out of town and flew back to Lincoln with a 3-0 record. Washington lost inside a blowout and was severely bogging down at 1-2. They were inside a daze in the wake of the Huskers' running game.

Taylor Martinez ran for three touchdowns and 137 yards and added 150 yards passing. He broke off an 80-yard touchdown about the very first play of the other half. When he did it, off a fake dive play, the score was 28-14. He managed to get 35-14 and also the rout was on. Roy Helu II also dashed in the future towards the finish zone party. He racked up 110 yards and two touchdowns on yet another dazzling I-back sprint for a score. On a run of 65 yards and one for eight, he had a highlight-reel game. Rex Burkhead added 104 yards and a 19-yard dash for a touchdown in the fourth quarter.
