MacArthur Bowl Recipients
Biography
WAC Champion BYU defeated Michigan in the Holiday Bowl, marking the Cougars’ first MacArthur Bowl. Coached by College Football Hall of Famer LaVell Edwards, BYU finished 13-0 after a 24-17 victory against the Wolverines in the Holiday Bowl.
Representing the pinnacle of team achievement in college sports, the trophy was the gift of an anonymous donor, who commissioned Tiffany & Co. to craft it from 400 ounces of silver, in honor of NFF founder General Douglas A. MacArthur. It took eight months to make, and the trophy features MacArthur's famous quote: "There is no substitute for victory."
