Update: The Holiday Bowl has been cancelled due to COVID-19 issues

The 18th-ranked North Carolina State Wolfpack will try to cap a dream season with a victory against the UCLA Bruins on Tuesday in the 2021 Holiday Bowl. NC State (9-3) is going for just the second 10-win season in program history and faces a Bruins team that is battling a COVID outbreak. The Wolfpack’s only other season with double-digit wins was 2002, when it finished 11-3 by beating Notre Dame 28-6 in the Gator Bowl. The Bruins (8-4) are playing in a bowl for the first time since 2017, and quarterback Dorian Thompson-Robinson leads one of the top rushing offenses in the nation. It will face a stout NC State defense and one of the top passing offenses in FBS led by QB Devin Leary.

Kickoff is set for 8 p.m. ET at San Diego’s Petco Park. The Wolfpack are a two-point favorite in the latest UCLA vs. NC State odds from Caesars Sportsbook, and the over-under for total points scored is 60.5.
