The fourth edition of the [[Hawaii Bowl]] was held in [[Honolulu, Hawaii]], and featured ~~the~~ [[Western Athletic Conference football\|WAC]] champions (Nevada) versus ~~the~~ [[Conference USA\|Conference USA]] runner-up (UCF). The game was sponsored by [[Sheraton Hotels and Resorts]] and was played on [[Christmas Eve]]. UCF was one of the nation's best stories of the season. They had gone 0–11 the [[2004 UCF Golden Knights football team\|previous season]], and after starting the 2005 season 0–2, were riding a 17-game losing streak. They then accomplished one of the biggest turnarounds in [[NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision\|NCAA Division I-A]] history, as they won eight of their next nine games to make to reach the [[2005 Conference USA Football Championship Game\|C-USA championship game]]. With a 7–1 conference record (8–3 overall), UCF lost to [[2005 Tulsa Golden Hurricane football team\|Tulsa]] to fall to 8–4. They were invited to the [[Hawaii Bowl]], the program's first ever bowl appearance. [[2005 Nevada Wolf Pack football team\|Nevada]] finished second in the WAC, winning seven out of their last eight games. Their only loss during that stretch was to conference champion [[2005 Boise State Broncos football team\|Boise State]]. This was the Wolf Pack's first bowl appearance since the [[1996 Las Vegas Bowl]].
