Sat Dec 13 14:30:00 UTC 2025: News Article: LA Bowl Set for Final Showdown Amid Coaching Carousel and Boise State’s Uphill Battle

LOS ANGELES – The LA Bowl is reportedly set to play its final game this Saturday as the Boise State Broncos face off against the Washington Huskies in what could also be head coach Jedd Fisch’s last game with Washington. The future of the bowl game remains uncertain, with Hollywood Park officials deferring discussion until after the final matchup.

All eyes are on Fisch as speculation swirls about his potential move to Michigan, following the firing of Sherrone Moore due to inappropriate conduct. Fisch, who previously coached wide receivers and quarterbacks under Jim Harbaugh at Michigan, is rumored to be a top candidate for the Wolverines’ head coaching job.

On the field, Boise State is looking to end a long-standing losing streak against Power Four teams. Since their victory over Florida State in 2019, the Broncos have suffered nine consecutive losses. Quarterback Maddux Madsen will need to replicate his championship game performance against a tough Washington defense. Madsen missed several weeks late in the season due to ankle and toe injuries, but was able to return to the field for the Broncos’ Mountain West title game.

For Washington, the game offers a chance to end the season on a high note after a shaky stretch. The Huskies offense, led by sophomore Demond Williams Jr., needs to rediscover its form after struggling in recent losses.

The LA Bowl has a six-year history marred by the COVID-19 pandemic and multiple sponsorship changes. The matchup between the Broncos and the Huskies should be an exciting end to a rather short history for the LA Bowl.
