For the second year in a row, Washington State is headed to sunny San Diego for bowl season.
After finishing 9-3, the Cougars earned a repeat trip to the Holiday Bowl to face Mark D’Antonio’s 16th-ranked Michigan State team at the San Diego County Credit Union Stadium on Dec. 28 (kickoff slated for 6 p.m.).
Michigan State finished 9-3, with a 7-2 Big Ten record, and was third in the loaded Big Ten East Division. The Spartans’ biggest win came in a 27-24 upset over then-No. 7 Penn State, but they lost games to Notre Dame and Northwestern earlier in the year, and were annihilated 48-3 by No.
