Following the 1978 college football season , the stadium began hosting the Holiday Bowl , an annual bowl game held before New Year 's Day . It originally hosted the Western Athletic Conference champion ( at the time , the hometown Aztecs had just joined this conference ) against a nationally ranked opponent . The game has traditionally been a high-scoring affair , and until the 2006 edition no team had ever been held to ten points or less . From 1995 through 2004 , every '' losing '' team scored at least 20 points . The 1984 game is well known for being the culmination of BYU 's championship season , the last Division I-A ( now FBS ) national championship not won by a member of a Power Five conference or a major independent program
