Stanford's defense was exhausted after carrying its team's weight for the entirety of Friday's Sun Bowl, and UNC ripped off a furious 10-play, 97-yard touchdown drive in the final seconds to set up a dramatic ending. But Solomon Thomas dug deep to make the decisive play. Stanford won 25-23, logging a third straight bowl victory for the first time in program history. (ESPN.com)
