New Mexico State vs. Bowling Green (New Mexico State 24–19)
2023 matchup
Minnesota vs. Bowling Green (Minnesota 30–24)
The Quick Lane Bowl is a post-season college football bowl game certified by the NCAA that began play in the 2014 season. The Ford Motor Company served as title sponsor of the game for 10 years, through its auto shop brand Quick Lane. In June 2024, that sponsorship ended.[3] Organizers are using Detroit Bowl naming while seeking a new title sponsor.[3]
Backed by the Detroit Lions of the National Football League, the game features a bowl-eligible team from the Big Ten Conference competing against an opponent from the Mid-American Conference (MAC). The bowl is played at Ford Field in Detroit and was created as a de facto replacement for the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl (last played in 2013), and inherited its traditional December 26 scheduling. Unlike its predecessor, which featured the eighth-place team in the Big Ten against the MAC champion, competing teams are selected by conference representatives and are not based on final rankings.[4]
The inaugural edition of the bowl was played on December 26, 2014, between the Rutgers Scarlet Knights and North Carolina Tar Heels.[5] In the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 edition of the bowl was not played; although a specific reason was not given by organizers.[6]
