Washington's interim coach Marques Tuiasosopo will try to lead the Huskies to their highest win total in 13 years while BYU goes for their seventh bowl win in eight tries in the Fight Hunger Bowl.
Steve Sarkisian departed as the head coach of Washington to take the job at Southern California after the regular season finale on Nov. 29, leaving Tuiasosopo to try and give the team a bowl victory. He led the Huskies to eight wins for the first time since 2001 this year.
"I'm humbled and so honored," said Tuiasosopo, who played for six seasons with the Oakland Raiders, according to ESPN. "It's a great, incredible honor to lead my alma mater in a bowl game. We still have a lot to play for this season. I am excited to go out and get a ninth win."
Washington makes its fourth straight bowl appearance and won four of their last five to secure the bowl appearance after missing the postseason every year between 2003-09.
BYU made it to their ninth straight bowl and concluded their season with a Nov. 30 win over Nevada on Nov. 30. Now they look ahead to the bowl game.
"We are looking forward to the opportunity to play Washington in the Fight Hunger Bowl in San Francisco," coach Bronco Mendenhall said per ESPN. "I'm proud of our team. We are excited to be in the postseason for the ninth straight year with a chance to grow our program facing an outstanding football program."
