Sun Bowl
< 1985
1987 >
The 1986 Sun Bowl featured the Alabama Crimson Tide of the Southeastern Conference (SEC) and the Washington Huskies of the Pacific-10 Conference. In Ray Perkins's final game as Alabama head coach, the Crimson Tide defeated the Huskies 28–6.[2][3][4]
This was the first edition of the Sun Bowl that carried corporate sponsorship,[5] as John Hancock Financial entered a three-year, $1.5 million partnership.[6] The Fiesta Bowl had done so approximately a year earlier, entering a sponsorship agreement in September 1985 and playing its January 1986 edition as the Sunkist Fiesta Bowl.[7]
