The game featured the Cincinnati Bearcats, with a record of 7–5, against San Diego State, with a record of 10-3 and on a 9-game winning streak going into the game. The Aztecs defeated the Bearcats by a score of 42-7.
This was the Bearcats' 17th bowl game (they were 8–8 all-time in bowl games), their fifth consecutive bowl appearance, and their first bowl game in Hawaii.
San Diego State, playing its sixth straight bowl game, had won all of its eight regular conference games this year. They then defeated Air Force, 27-24 in the title game for the school's 20th football conference championship. Head coach Rocky Long is among 13 active coaches to have guided his current team to a bowl game during his first five seasons as the head man. This was also the Aztecs' first bowl game in Hawaii since 1952.
