Teams
The game featured the Duke Blue Devils against the Indiana Hoosiers.
Duke Blue Devils
After finishing their regular season 7–5, bowl director Mark Holtzman extended an invitation for the Blue Devils to play in the game, which they accepted.
This was the Blue Devils' twelfth bowl game (they were previously 3–8 in bowl games) and their fourth consecutive bowl game (their longest-and only-bowl streak in school history), where they sought their first bowl victory in 54 years (their last bowl win was when they beat Arkansas in the 1961 Cotton Bowl Classic by a score of 7–6). It was also the Blue Devils' second bowl game against an opponent from the Big Ten; their first was the 1995 Hall of Fame Bowl, where they lost to Wisconsin by a score of 34–20.
Indiana Hoosiers
After finishing their season 6–6, Holtzman extended an invitation for the Hoosiers to play in the game, which they accepted as well.
This was the Hoosiers' tenth bowl game (they were 3–6 in bowl games previously) and their first since the 2007 Insight Bowl, where they lost to Oklahoma State by a score of 49–33. The Hoosiers sought their first bowl victory since the 1991 Copper Bowl (where they shut out Baylor 24–0).
