The Las Vegas Bowl has come a long way since its humble beginnings. The first game took place in 1992 as a replacement for the California Raisin Bowl. That inaugural contest was a 35-34 win for Bowling Green over Nevada. Tie-ins with the WAC and Mountain West have come and gone, and now the game is played between the Pac-12, SEC and Big Ten.
