Heisman Trophy Winner
"It's one of those deals where because of a technicality in the system, the Gator Bowl can't make it official that Nebraska's going to Jacksonville.
The Gator Bowl has to await until a BCS conference call early tomorrow afternoon and for Nebraska to be released as a team not in the BCS equation.
But after just talking to Gator Bowl president Rick Catlett, it seems no doubt the Huskers are the Gator's choice. The announcement of the Huskers in the game is hoped to come either tomorrow or early Wednesday. The opponent will either be Florida State or Clemson.
“If you’re not excited about what Bo Pelini’s done with that program, you’re not a true Nebraska fan,” said Catlett, who attended NU’s 40-31 win over Colorado on Friday. “We felt it. We saw it. We’re excited about having them there. When we signed up with the Big 12, we wanted to have the ability to bring Texas, Oklahoma and Nebraska to our game. And we’ve gotten it with this game. We’re ecstatic with the possibility to make Nebraska a selection.”
