The Panthers played in their first bowl game in 2015 in the AutoNation Cure Bowl and then made a return trip to the Orlando, Fla., bowl in 201, when GSU knocked off Western Kentucky 27-17. It was the first bowl win in school history.

"We have a great group of young men who have overcome a lot to put together a very successful season," said Elliott. "We've accomplished a lot of firsts and records this season, and this is not only a reward but an opportunity to do even more."

Tickets for the bowl game begin Sunday night. The game is set for Dec. 31 and will kick off at Arizona Stadium at 4:30 p.m. eastern time. Get ticket information here.
