About the SRS Distribution Las Vegas Bowl
The Las Vegas Bowl first kicked off in 1992, when community leaders decided hosting a football game could help fill empty hotel rooms during a slow travel period. From 1992-2019, the game was played at Sam Boyd Stadium in Whitney, Nevada. The Las Vegas Bowl originally featured the champions from the Big West and the MAC. Several other Group of 5 conferences had tie-ins with the bowl. However, the Las Vegas Bowl announced a five-year, alternating tie-in between the SEC and Big Ten beginning in 2020. Teams from the SEC and Big Ten will play in even and odd numbered years, respectively.

Game Preview
When Wisconsin has the ball:
Freshman RB Braelon Allen is next in line of great Wisconsin running backs. Since taking over the reins as starter against Illinois, Allen has run for over 100 yards in all but one game. In total, Allen has run for 1,109 yards and 12 touchdowns while averaging 7.1 yards per carry. Badgers QB Graham Mertz has been hot and cold this season, and hasn't been able to find consistency in the passing game. Wisconsin will look to pound the rock and limit the amount of passes they throw.
When Arizona State has the ball:
While QB Jayden Daniels is the most important piece of the Sun Devil offense, RB Rachaad White might be the best piece on offense. Arizona State also likes to run the ball, and White has run for 1,000 yards and 15 touchdowns, while also being second on the team in receiving yards with 456. Daniels will looks to be a dual threat in the run and passing game, and the Sun Devils will be more of a run-based offense.
