The Arizona Wildcats have accepted a bid to play in the Gildan New Mexico Bowl on December 19th against the New Mexico Lobos. The game kicks off at 2 PM ET, Noon local on ESPN.
After it was obvious that Stanford wasn't going to make the College Football Playoff, the New Mexico and Independence Bowls became the most likely landing spot for the Wildcats.
Three years ago, Arizona was in the New Mexico Bowl, and brought home a win against the Nevada Wolf Pack in dramatic fashion.
