Memorable Games:<br />
2005: Utah defensive back Eric Weddle got the best of his individual battle with Georgia Tech wide receiver Calvin<br />
Johnson in their matchup, with Johnson held to two catches and 29 yards in his final college game. Johnson<br />
was the second player picked in the NFL draft the following spring and Weddle was a second-round pick the<br />
following year. Utah set bowl records with 550 offensive yards and 31 first downs in a 38-10 win over the<br />
Yellow Jackets.<br />
2004: Navy put together the longest drive in recorded college football history and it didn’t even end with a<br />
touchdown -- a 26-play, 14-minute and 26-second march that began at its own 1-yard line and ending at<br />
New Mexico’s 5-yard line. The drive began with four plays at the end of the third quarter and 22 straight in the<br />
fourth, ending with a 22-yard George Blumenfeld field goal. Navy won 34-19.<br />
2012: Arizona State established numerous bowl records in its 62-28 victory over Navy. The Sun Devils led 34-7 at<br />
halftime and 62-14 after three quarters. ASU rolled up a record 648 total yards, collected 36 first downs and<br />
scored touchdowns on its first nine possessions.<br />
2014: Stanford scored a Cardinal bowl record 45 points in a 45-21 victory over Maryland. Christian McCaffrey’s 81<br />
punt return yards set a bowl record, as did Stanford’s six QB sacks. RB Remound Wright rushed for three first<br />
half touchdowns.<br />
2015: Having finished the regular season 5-7, Nebraska looked for redemption in its bowl game and found it in a<br />
big way. The Cornhuskers, returning to their ground-and-pound roots, rushed for 326 yards en route to a 37-<br />
26 victory over UCLA. Nebraska’s rushing game saw nine different players carry the ball, led by Devine Ozigbo<br />
with 87. The victors rang up 31 first downs overall and held the ball over 38 minutes.<br />
