The »ÆÉ«Ö±²¥ Golden Flashes football team (6-6) is bowling for the fourth time in school history, having accepted a bid to the Tropical Smoothie Cafe Frisco Bowl against Utah State (7-5, Mountain West).

The game will take place on Friday, Dec. 20, at 7:30 p.m. at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas, with coverage on ESPN2. It will be the first bowl game for »ÆÉ«Ö±²¥ since the 2013 GoDaddy.com Bowl (2012 season).

The Golden Flashes were the only Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) team to win their last three games to become bowl eligible. »ÆÉ«Ö±²¥ defeated Buffalo (30-27), Ball State (41-38) and Eastern Michigan (34-26) to improve to 6-6 on the season.

»ÆÉ«Ö±²¥ is one of eight teams with a four game or better turnaround from 2018, having improved from 2-10 to 6-6 in head coach Sean Lewis’ second season at the helm.

Utah State (7-5, 6-2) is led by quarterback Jordan Love. The junior has thrown for more than 3,000 yards and 17 touchdowns this season.
