Fiesta MVP Crouch passed for 148 yards and rushed for 64.
Crouch, Cornhuskers too much for Tennessee
Too much speed. Too much strength. Too much Nebraska. And of course, too much Eric Crouch. Nebraska's sophomore quarterback completed 9 of 15 passes for 148 yards, including a 13-yard touchdown pass, to lead the Cornhuskers to a 31-21 victory over Tennessee in the Fiesta Bowl on Sunday. Vols quarterback Tee Martin passed for 223 yards.
IT WAS OVER WHEN... GAME BALL GOES TO... STATISTICALLY SPEAKING...
The Vols rallied from a 17-0 deficit to cut it to 17-14 early in the second half, but the Huskers answered with second-half touchdown drives of 96 and 99 yards to put the game out of reach.
'Husker quarterback Eric Crouch, who was too fast for the Vols to handle. He went 9-for-15 for 148 yards, including a 13-yard TD pass.
23: The 'Huskers closed out the game with 23 consecutive rushing plays. 44: As Nebraska rushed for 321 yards, Tennessee managed just 44 yards on the ground.
