2008 Sun Bowl

The 2008 Brut Sun Bowl, part of the 2008–09 NCAA Division I FBS bowl season, was played on December 31, 2008 at the stadium of the same name on the campus of the University of Texas at El Paso in El Paso, Texas.

The 75th annual contest pitted the Pittsburgh Panthers against the Oregon State Beavers.

This game, however, was special because the only points were scored on a field goal kicked off of a botched hold.

The two teams combined for five turnovers and twenty punts while Victor Butler led the way with four sacks for the Beavers.

The halftime show included a performance by musical group The Village People as Sun Bowl officials broke the Guinness World Record for largest Y.M.C.A.
