"We're excited to have one of the best teams in the country coming to Memphis," said Steve Ehrhart, the bowl's executive director.

"The Rams have a great coach in Sonny Lubick, a thrilling quarterback in Bradlee Van Pelt and one of college football's top running backs in 1,000-yard rusher Cecil 'The Diesel' Sapp."

WASHINGTON STATE: Cougars quarterback Jason Gesser was scheduled to begin rehab work Sunday after spraining his right ankle against Washington.

Washington State wasn't sure if Gesser will be available for the team's game at UCLA on Dec.7. The Cougars (9-2, 6-1 Pac-10) need to win to clinch a Rose Bowl berth.

X-rays taken after the game showed that Gesser didn't break the ankle. the quarterback will be on crutches indefinitely.

"We will begin treatment Sunday and work with Jason all week," Washington State trainer Bill Drake said. "Jason will wear a protective walking boot and he will be on crutches for an indefinite length of time. We will have a better idea of his recovery time by next weekend."

Gesser, who owns virtually every Washington State career passing record, was injured when he was sacked by Washington's Terry Johnson for a 16-yard loss with 9:50 remaining.
