The Wisconsin football team will make its first appearance in the Holiday Bowl after accepting an invitation Sunday afternoon to face USC on Dec. 30 at Qualcomm Stadium in San Diego.
The Badgers, whose streak of 14 consecutive bowl trips is the best in the Big Ten, went 9-3 in the regular season, including a 6-2 mark that was good for third in the Big Ten West Division. USC is in a bowl for the fourth-straight year and making its 51st bowl appearance overall. The Trojans are 8-5 after falling to Stanford in the Pac-12 Championship Game yesterday.
