The Nebraska Cornhuskers will head to California to take on the USC Trojans in the Holiday Bowl on Dec. 27.Bob Lammers said he's looking forward to the game in Southern California."Great place to go," he said. "San Diego's warm -- very nice. Weather's great there year round -- looking forward to it."But fans sounded a bit hesitant about facing the Trojans."I saw that we're playing USC so I'll have my fingers crossed," Sam Towne said. "You know with the coaching change, there will be some coaches coaching that might not be back next year, so hopefully they give it all they can and get the 'W.'"Towne said he thinks the Holiday Bowl should be an easier matchup than the Outback Bowl."Auburn runs the offense," he said. "I think out defense has shown they cannot defend very well, so I'm glad to be playing USC."Lammers said the year may have been disappointing, but the year was still successful."The big loss to Wisconsin (was disappointing) but to finish 9-3 is not all that bad," Lammers said. "And we finished in the top 25, so that's pretty good."
