PHOENIX, Ariz. — Four years have passed since Dana Holgorsen — then West Virginia’s rookie head coach — guided the Mountaineers to an Orange Bowl win.
Holgorsen’s hunger to get back to one of the New Year’s Six Bowls continues to build as his fifth season nears its end.
“There’s no secret. The Big Six are kind of a different animal,” Holgorsen said. “Every other bowl game is fun. You prefer a destination like Phoenix. All those bowl games are fun and they matter. There’s something different about the the Big Six. To take it a step further, whichever two are part of the College Football Playoff, that’s what every team works for.
