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.
