San Diego Country Credit Union Holiday Bowl<br />
2001: After a scoreless first quarter, Texas and Washington tied up in a shootout, with the Huskies taking a 36-17<br />
lead late in the third quarter before Major Applewhite led the Longhorns to 23 points in a 10-minute spurt<br />
and Ivan Williams scored on a three-yard run with 38 seconds left in Texas’ 47-43 win.<br />
Top Individual Performances<br />
Garland Rivers, DB, Michigan, 1984 -- Despite the loss to BYU that gave the Cougars the national title, totaled 17<br />
solo tackles against BYU’s high-powered offense.<br />
Barry Sanders, RB, Oklahoma State, 1988 – The Heisman Trophy winner rushed for 222 yards and scored five<br />
touchdowns in OSU’s 62-14 win over Wyoming. He likely would have broken Craig James’ record of 225 rush<br />
yards, but didn’t play at all in the fourth quarter.<br />
Ty Detmer, QB, BYU, 1989 – Passed for 576 yards, hitting on 42-of-59 passes, all Holiday Bowl records, in a losing<br />
effort against Penn State.<br />
Last Year’s Game:<br />
Both Washington State and Michigan State finished the 40th edition of the San Diego County Credit Union Holiday<br />
Bowl with their backup quarterbacks, but the Spartans had its starter at the start. Brian Lewerke lead his No. 16<br />
Michigan State team to a 42-17 win over No. 18 Washington State. Lewerke was 13-21 for 213 yards and three<br />
touchdowns, until he left the game midway through the third quarter after a collision near the goal line. Michigan<br />
State lead Washington State 28-3 at that point, and backup quarterback Damion Terry extended that to 35-3<br />
after a 1-yard rushing touchdown. Washington State opened the scoring with a 45-yard field goal by Erik Powell<br />
midway through the first quarter – the Cougars only possession of the first half that lasted more than four plays.<br />
Backup quarterback Tyler Hilinski started for Washington State, and was helpless against the Spartans defense.<br />
Hilinski completed 80 percent of his passes, which averaged barely five yards each. Michigan State lead 21-3 at<br />
halftime. The Spartans were well on their way to one of the five biggest blowouts in Holiday Bowl history until<br />
Hilinski threw a 14-yard touchdown late in the third, and a 15-yard touchdown midway through the fourth quarter<br />
to get the Cougars back in the game and draw 35-17. But a 28-yard touchdown run by Michigan State’s LJ Scott<br />
dashed any Cougars comeback hopes, and a late interception added an exclamation point to the 42-17 Michigan<br />
State victory over Washington State.<br />
