No. 21 Syracuse and Washington State will finish their 2024 seasons in beautiful San Diego, California, home of the Holiday Bowl. It’s a solid matchup of two teams who exceeded expectations this season.
There were plenty of questions surrounding Syracuse in Fran Brown’s first season, and the Orange performed as well as anybody could reasonably expect. They finished their regular season with a 42-38 upset win over Miami that knocked the Hurricanes out of ACC contention, as well as the College Football Playoff.
Washington State entered the season in one of the most awkward positions possible as one of only two teams remaining in the Pac-12. The Cougars began the season with wins over Power Four opponents Texas Tech and rival Washington, but did lose to Oregon State to miss out on a Pac-12 title.
This will be Washington State’s fifth appearance in the Holiday Bowl, tying the Cougars with Texas for second most all time behind BYU’s 11. Syracuse is making its first appearance. It’s only the second time these programs have met. Syracuse won the previous meeting 52-25 in 1979.
