Jacob De Jesus #21 of the UNLV Rebels celebrate his offensive player of the year award next to Rob Gronkowski after a 24-13 win over the California Golden Bears in the Art of Sport LA Bowl Hosted By Gronk at SoFi Stadium on December 18, 2024 in Inglewood, California.

Overview

  • Kickoff is Saturday at 8 p.m. ET at SoFi Stadium, with the game airing on ABC and available to stream on Sling TV.
  • Sportsbooks list Washington as roughly a 9.5 to 10-point favorite and set the total around 52.5 points.
  • The matchup was finalized only six days before kickoff, leaving both staffs with a compressed window for film work and game-planning.
  • Washington coach Jedd Fisch says the Huskies have no opt-outs and intend to play to win, with quarterbacks Demond Williams and Boise State’s Maddux Madsen expected to lead their offenses.
  • On3’s Brett McMurphy reports the LA Bowl will end after this game because the six-year deal is up and conference realignment disrupted tie-ins, a development not officially confirmed by organizers.
