This will be Oregon’s fourth appearance in the Holiday Bowl, with a 2-1 record in their previous appearances in the game. The Tar Heels will be led by quarterback Drake Maye, a star involved in Heisman Trophy conversations this season while throwing for 35 touchdowns and rushing for seven more this season.
The Ducks could be led by another star in the Heisman mix during the season, Bo Nix, if he decides to play in their bowl game, pending his personal decision and health.
