Certainly, Washington head coach Chris Petersen will have quite the trip down memory lane for the Las Vegas Bowl. Peterson announced that he was stepping down due to the need to recharge his batteries. Specifically, the daily grind wore him down to nothing after a very successful run at UW. However, Petersen is also known for his betting on College Football success as head coach of the Boise State Broncos. Petersen turned Boise into a national brand that would take on and beat the best teams in the land. It will be a bittersweet day for a great coach.
