One of the best seasons in school history got better Sunday. That’s because No. 11 Washington is going to the Fiesta Bowl.
UW (10-2) was invited to the Playstation Fiesta Bowl where it will face No. 9 Penn State (10-2) on Dec. 30 at the University of Phoenix Stadium in Glendale, Ariz. For the Huskies, it’s their first appearance in the Fiesta Bowl and the second straight year they’ll play in either a College Football Playoff semifinal and/or New Year’s Six bowl game. UW reached the Chick-fil-a Peach Bowl last season where it lost to Alabama.
The bowl game announcement was made during the CFP Selection Show on Sunday afternoon.
