GLENDALE, Ariz., Dec. 23 (UPI) -- This year's inductees to the College Football Hall of Fame will be honored during a pre-game ceremony at the 2010 Fiesta Bowl in Glendale, Ariz.

The ceremony, sponsored by the National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame, will honor, among others, Notre Dame wide receiver Tim Brown (1984-87), Ohio State linebacker Chris Spielman (1984-87), Nebraska defensive Grant Wistrom (1994-97), and, posthumously, Harvard center William Lewis (1892-93).

"We are excited to continue our partnership with the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl in highlighting the accomplishments of the most recent class of Hall of Famers," foundation President and Chief Executive Officer Steven J. Hatchell said.

"The entire Tostitos Fiesta Bowl family with this initiative allows us to further showcase the careers of the best the college gridiron has ever seen."

The contest features a match-up of unbeatens -- fourth-ranked TCU (12-0) and No. 6 Boise State (13-0).
