Holiday Bowl called off hours before kickoff because of COVID-19 cases at UCLA

The Holiday Bowl is the latest bowl to not play as scheduled due to COVID-19 cases.

After Fox Sports reported Tuesday afternoon that UCLA would be unable to play N.C. State because of a lack of defensive linemen, UCLA confirmed that it wouldn't be able to participate in the game set to kick off at 8 p.m. ET.
