The 1984 Holiday Bowl was a bowl game contested in college football for the 1984 season. Played on December 21 at Jack Murphy Stadium in San Diego, it pitted the unranked Michigan Wolverines against the top-ranked BYU Cougars. Despite six turnovers and being down by seven in the fourth quarter, BYU rallied and won the game, 24–17.[5][6] The attendance of 61,248 was a record for Jack Murphy Stadium at that time.
BYU's victory helped propel them to being a consensus selection for the national championship for the 1984 season. This game marks a rare example of a team named as national champion by NCAA-recognized selector(s) playing their bowl game during the month of December.
