For the first time in history, the New Mexico Bowl kicked off in the Lone Star State. A festive contest between red and green teams broke out on Christmas Eve in Frisco, TX a suburb in the Dallas metroplex.
But Hawaii (5-4, 4-4 Mountain West) unwrapped the early Christmas gift, besting Houston 28-14 in the Rainbow Warriors’ first bowl game in the contiguous United States in 13 years. Houston (3-5, 3-3 AAC) continued its recent trend of bowl struggles, losing its fourth consecutive postseason contest dating back to Major Applewhite’s head coaching debut in the 2016 Las Vegas Bowl. This time, it was Dana Holgorsen’s first bowl game at the helm, but the result was Houston’s fifth loss of a twisted 2020 season.
