THE GAME
The Las Vegas Bowl matchup between Houston and San Diego State will be the third meeting between those schools … Houston has won both prior matchups, played in a home-and-home series in 1972 and 1973 … The Las Vegas Bowl normally features teams from the Mountain West and Pac-12 conferences, but Houston stepped in this year due to a shortage of available Pac-12 teams … Houston’s appearance will mark the first time an American Athletic Conference school plays in the Las Vegas Bowl … The game is played at Sam Boyd Stadium, which is the home stadium for UNLV during the regular season .
