The Ducks and Tar Heels will play at Petco Park, the first football game ever played at the home of Major League Baseball’s San Diego Padres.

North Carolina won the ACC Coastal Division before losing to Clemson in the conference title game, while Oregon lost two of its last three games this season.

This game will be the first meeting between the schools. Oregon is making its fourth appearance in the Holiday Bowl, while North Carolina is playing in the Holiday Bowl for the first time.
