A sold-out crowd of 49,566 watched the Warriors rally from a 21-point deficit against the Washington Huskies (4-9, 2-7 Pac-10) Saturday night at Aloha Stadium to finish their 12-0 season with a 35-28 win and ultimately a Bowl Championship Series berth. The Warriors finished at the No. 10 spot in the BCS standings released on Sunday afternoon, giving them a bid to the BCS’s Allstate Sugar Bowl on Jan. 1 against the BCS No. 5 Georgia Bulldogs at the Superdome in New Orleans, La. “(The feelings) are indescribable.
