1998  Culligan Holiday Bowl
 
SAN DIEGO, CA - Arizona met Nebraska in the 1998 Culligan Holiday Bowl Wednesday at Qualcomm Stadium.
 
Arizona seemed to control the game early. The Wildcats grabbed a 9-0 lead on three fieldgoals.
 
 
The rest of the first half was all Nebraska. The Cornhuskers scored thirteen unanswered including a 45 yard touchdown pass from Eric Crouch to Shevin Wiggins (photo below) Nebraska took a 13 to 9 lead into the intermission.
 
Strong defensive play by both teams kept the game close through the third quarter.
 
Then, a forth down conversion late in the quarter led to an Arizona touchdown and seemed to invigorate the Wildcats. An interception by Arizona All-American cornerback Chris McCalester (photo bottom right) with less than four minutes to play sealed the win for Arizona. The Wildcats went on to defeat Nebraska by a final score of 23 to 20.
