Taking a look at the Poinsettia Bowl records that the Brigham Young Cougars could break next week made me wonder how many Holiday Bowl records BYU held. The Cougars from Provo played in the first seven Holiday Bowls and 11 total. It has been almost 20 years since BYU's last appearance (1993).
Below is all the places that BYU shows up in the Holiday Bowl record books. For the complete Holiday Bowl records, click here.
