 Jan. 1  Oklahoma (Fiesta Bowl)
NORMAN, Okla. -- Oklahoma makes its eighth BCS appearance in the last 11 years against a team making its first. The 2010 Big 12 Champion Sooners square off with the Big East Champion UConn Huskies in the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, Ariz., on January 1.
 
UConn possesses one of the nation's top rushing attacks, led by Jordan Todman, who ranks second behind Oregon's LaMichael James with 143.1 yards per game. Defensively, the Huskies forced 29 turnovers on the year, good for 12th nationally, and boast the Big East's top tackler in senior LB Lawrence Wilson.

Before the UConn football team heads to Glendale, Ariz., for the Fiesta Bowl against perennial power Oklahoma, let's look back at what got the Huskies to this point... Connecticut Post
 
To Edsall, upsetting a 17-point favorite isn't wishful thinking. After all, he's already coached a team that pulled it off once before, and that team had a lot in common with this... UConn Daily Campus
 
UConn has plenty of detractors around the country. The Huskies'
8-4 record is the worst of any Bowl Championship Series team this year, and they're taking shots from all over... Hartford Courant
