Ducks and Tarheels will meet at Petco Park in San Diego's annual Holiday Bowl. Check details on the game here! 🏈
This year, though, might be one for the ages, and not just because it’s going to FINALLY be played at Petco Park for the first time.
The highest-scoring Holiday Bowl ever happened in 1980 when BYU edged SMU 46-45 in one of the greatest college football games ever played. Jim McMahon led three touchdown drives in 4 minutes to help the Cougars earn their first bowl win in program history. The highest single-game output came a decade later when Texas A&M dropped 65 on the Cougars.
They put up video game numbers this year. Nix accounted for 41 total touchdowns, throwing for 27 and running for 14 more. Maye rang up 42 total touchdowns, 35 of them coming through the air. Combined they threw for 7,504 yards while running for another 1,157 yards … and they only turned it over 13 times.
