It all came together Wednesday night in San Diego as the Huskers dismantled Arizona 33 - 0. For the first time in quite a while, the Huskers put it all together: offense, defense and special teams. The Blackshirts sent Ndamukong Suh and the rest of the seniors off in style as they secured the first shutout in the 32 year history of the Holiday Bowl. Arizona was only able to manage 6 first downs and 109 yards for the game; while the Huskers' offense came alive in this game with 19 first downs and 396 total offensive yards. The Huskers were finally healthy this game and the extra preparation for the bowl game seemed to really pay off. This makes the first 10 win season since 2003. The Huskers are hoping to use this momentum in spring ball and are ready to compete for the Big 12 championship and become players on the national scene again.    Holiday Bowl stats  .....   Holiday Bowl highlights

• It had never rained at the Holiday Bowl. Until Wednesday. And the folks here, in 32 years of postseason play, have never seen quite that kind of a defensive performance, either.
• It was an imaginative Husker offense and the same old Blackshirts. Put them together and pass the Arizona Wildcats the Excedrin.
• The five plays that thousands of Nebraska fans missed at the outset of the 2009 Holiday Bowl turned out to be the only ones No. 22 NU really needed to secure victory over No. 20 Arizona.
• Nebraska's 33-0 victory over Arizona in the Pacific Life Holiday Bowl was much easier than anyone would have ever expected. It pushed the Cornhuskers to their 10th victory in a season for the first time since 2003.
• After developing a reputation for high-scoring games and crazy finishes, the Holiday Bowl finally got the first shutout in its 32-year history.
• Husker QB Lee to have surgery on throwing arm
• O’Hanlon ends Husker career with a bang
