2012 Fiesta Bowl:
Date: January 2, 2012
Location: Glendale, Arizona
Venue: University of Phoenix Stadium
Teams: Stanford Cardinal vs. Oklahoma State Cowboys
It’s the Big-12 versus the Pac-12 as the conference champs from each—the 11-1 Oklahoma State Cowboys and 11-1 Stanford Cardinal—meet in beautiful Glendale, Arizona’s University of Phoenix Stadium to determine which defense can hold the opposite’s high-flying offense more. Besides scoring power, the teams bring in star power in Stanford’s Heisman front-running quarterback Andrew Luck, and OK State’s All-World Wide Receiver Justin Blackmon. The consensus says that these two will go in the top-five picks in next year’s NFL draft, so January 2nd in Glendale is the last time you can see them in Cardinal Red and Cowboy Orange. It’s a match-up that can’t be beat!
