The second bowl game will undoubtedly feature a stronger match up than the Poinsettia Bowl. The Holiday Bowl has proven to be one of the better bowl games year in and year out, matching a Pac-12 team with an opponent from the Big 12. The teams are still to be determined, but get your tickets early to ensure you don’t miss out on the hard hitting action.
