It was the first edition of the Quick Lane Bowl, replacing the Little Caesars Pizza Bowl, and the final game of the 2014 NCAA Division I FBS football season for both teams. For 2014 bowl season the Quick Lane Bowl had contractual tie-ins with the Big Ten Conference and the Atlantic Coast Conference. With the discontinuance of the Little Caesars Bowl, successor to the Motor City Bowl, it was the first time since 1997 that a Mid-American Conference team did not play a post-season game in Detroit.http://www.freep.com/story/sports/college/2014/12/07/quick-lane-bowl-rutgers-north-carolina/20070241/ Rutgers to face North Carolina in first Quick Lane Bowl Detroit Free Press December 7, 2014 7 December 2014 Libby, Zach The game was sponsored by Ford Motor Company through its service-center brand Quick Lane.

As the regular season came to a close Rutgers officials entered into negotiations with several bowls, hoping to secure a post-season berth. Although apparently preferring the TaxSlayer and Music City Bowl, both of which had obligations to accept Big Ten teams, Rutgers accepted when Tom Lewand, president of the Detroit Lions and CEO of the Quick Lane bowl, extended an invitation on December 7, 2014.http://www.nj.com/rutgersfootball/index.ssf/2014/12/the_anatomy_of_rutgers_berth_to_the_quick_lane_bowl.html The anatomy of Rutgers' berth to the Quick Lane Bowl NJ Advance Media for NJ.com December 7, 2014 7 December 2014 Sargeant, Keith With the acceptance head coach Kyle Flood became the first in Rutgers history to reach a bowl game in his first three seasons.http://www.nj.com/rutgersfootball/index.ssf/2014/12/official_rutgers_headed_to_detroit_to_play_in_quick_lane_bowl.html Rutgers will meet North Carolina in Detroit's inaugural Quick Lane Bowl NJ Advance Media for NJ.com December 7, 2014 7 December 2014 Sargeant, Keith North Carolina Tar Heels 2014 North Carolina Tar Heels football team The North Carolina Tar Heels finished the regular season 6–6 (4–4 conference) under third-year head coach Larry Fedora.
