Holiday Bowl History
The Holiday Bowl began in 1978 and the matchup currently features schools from the Pac-12 and Big 10, who took over the bowl tie-in from the Big 12. The game takes place at Qualcomm Stadium Stadium from San Diego, California.
The Pac-12 has lost seven of its nine appearances in this bowl game. Utah got off to a great start in the 2018 installment of the game, but Northwestern erased a 20-3 halftime deficit with a 28-point third quarter to win 31-20 as the 'over' connected. Iowa kept up the Pac-12's recent woes when they absolutely hammered USC by a 49-24 score as short 'dogs.
The COVID-19 global pandemic wiped out the 2020 installment of this game. The game was expected to return on Dec. 28, 2021, with UCLA of the Pac-12 facing NC State of the ACC.
However, mere hours before the Holiday Bowl was to kick off at Petco Park, the Bruins pulled out of the game due to reported COVID issues within its program.
Underdogs have covered in four straight Holiday Bowls, including three outright wins. USC surprised Louisville, 42-28 in the 2023 edition at Petco Park.
