Badgers vs. Trojans set for Holiday Bowl clash

According to a report from the Wisconsin State Journal and other sources, the Wisconsin Badgers will be heading to a rather nice destination for their bowl game. UW will travel to San Diego, Cal. and take on the USC Trojans in the Holiday Bowl.

It will be a matchup of the 9-3 Badgers vs. the somehow No. 25 Trojans, who are just 8-5 on the season after a loss to Stanford in the Pac-12 Championship game over the weekend.

The Badgers had been long-rumored to be going to the Holiday Bowl, but it was only locked in after all the conference title games went the way most thought.

Wisconsin’s opponent won’t be too familiar, but the Trojans will have one given advantage as they played in the Holiday Bowl last season against Nebraska.

These two teams have met six times in their histories, with USC owning a 6-0 record over the Badgers. However, these two teams haven’t met on the gridiron since 1966.
