No. 24 UNLV will play Cal in this year’s L.A. Bowl once again hosted by four-time Super Bowl champion Rob Gronkowski at SoFi Stadium.
Kickoff is at 6 p.m. on Dec. 18 and the game will air on ESPN.
UNLV (10-3) is coming off a disappointing 21-7 loss to Boise State in the Mountain West Conference championship game. The Broncos are representing the non-Power Four teams in the 12-team College Football Playoff bracket, while the Rebels settle for a trip to Inglewood.
The Rebels have been through many twists during a roller coaster season.
In September, they overcame the loss of starting quarterback Matthew Sluka, who left the program after starting the season 3-0 due to a dispute over alleged unfulfilled NIL payments promised during recruiting.
