WHAT’S AT STAKE
The Cougars are playing in their 38th bowl game, including fourth in the state of Florida. The Sunshine State hasn’t been friendly, though, with BYU losing in the 1976 Tangerine Bowl, 1985 Florida Citrus Bowl and 2014 Miami Beach Bowl. Central Florida will be making a school-best fifth straight bowl appearance. In addition, Josh Heupel also becomes only the second Knights coach to go to three straight bowl games. They played in the Fiesta Bowl during the 2018 season and the Gasparilla Bowl after last season. George O’Leary went to three straight from 2012-14.
