Surprising twist sends Cal
far south to Holiday Bowl
The Golden Bears' hopes
of a Rose Bowl invite
were dismissed Sunday
BY STEPHEN MILLER
SPORTS REPORTER
California will travel farther south
than it anticipated to knock helmets
with Texas Tech at the 26th Annual
Holiday Bowl in San Diego Dec. 30
at 5 p.m.
The Golden Bears were originally
slated to be in the Rose Bowl this year,
but a last-minute decision by the BCS
awarded No. 6 Texas a bid to join No.
13 Michigan in Pasadena, Calif.
Neither No. 4 Cal nor No. 23
Texas Tech have ever appeared in
San Diego; in fact, this is the first
matchup between these two
schools. The Golden Bears walk in
with two unfavorable records
against them: Their program is 6-7
1 all-time in bowl games, and Pacif
ic-10 Conference teams own only a
3-6 record in the Holiday Bowl. The
Big-12 Conference has fared well in
the Holiday Bowl at 7-4. Texas Tech
is 7-19-1 in bowl game appearances
with its last being a win against
Navy at the Houston Bowl in 2003.
Cal (10-1 overall, 7-1 Pac-10) over
powered Virginia Tech last season in a
54-49 Insight Bowl shootout, and with
a postseason bid this year, it is partici
pating in a bowl game for the second
straight season under the command of
third-year head coach Jeff Tedford.
"It is an honor for us to be playing
in the Holiday Bowl this year," Ted
ford, the 2004 Pac-10 Coach of the
Year, said. "We know it's a bowl with
great tradition, and we look forward
to playing an outstanding Texas Tech
team. To spend a week in San Diego

is a great reward for our players who
had a tremendous season."
This season, Cal has depended on
the rapid-rushing execution of J.J. Ar
rington. The senior tailback has col
lected 1,845 yards on the ground this
season — a new single-season school
record — and averaged a conference
leading 167.7 per game. He has
scored 14 touchdowns and averaged
