This will be updated as the games take place.
Myrtle Beach Bowl
Appalachian State 56-28 North Texas. Read the recap on Mean Green Nation.
The inaugural Myrtle Beach Bowl devolved into an elongated garbage time as the announcers were talking about mullets more than is necessary. North Texas’s defense was embarrassed again.
R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl
Where: In New Orleans, Louisiana, obviously at the Superdome.
When: Wednesday, December 23
Who: LA Tech vs. Georgia Southern on ESPN at 2 p.m.
Recap: Georgia Southern dominated 38-3, the six-game bowl streak was snapped. Everything looked bad in an awful loss to the Sun Belt squad.
Montgomery Bowl
Where: Montgomery, Alabama
When: Wednesday, December 23
Who: Florida Atlantic vs. Memphis ESPN 6 p.m.
This is a good matchup for one of the league’s better teams. FAU stumbled late and this is a chance to prove their worth a bit.
Recap: Memphis won 25-10 in a listless game. FAU struggled to move the ball but made it competitive for a bit.
Camelia Bowl
Where: Montgomery, Alabama
When: Friday, December 25
Who: Marshall vs. Buffalo ESPN 1:30 p.m.
Marshall gets a good Buffalo squad in this Christmas Day game. Another chance shake off the two-game losing streak.
Recap: Marshall struggled offensively, so much so that Doc Holliday is on the hot seat, apparently. The 17-10 loss had a last-minute opportunity for Grant Wells and company that fell short.
UNION HOME Mortgage Gasparilla Bowl
Where: Tampa, Florida
When: Saturday, December 26
Who: UAB vs. South Carolina ABC 11 a.m.
The defending league champ gets a terrible South Carolina team and should beat up on them. That is the benefit here. It isn’t a particularly compelling matchup but it is on national television the day after Christmas.
UPDATE: This game has been cancelled due to some USC COVID-19 issues, per ESPN.
Lending Tree Bowl
Where: Mobile, Alabama
When: Saturday, December 26
Who: WKU vs. Georgia State ESPN 2:30 p.m.
This is not a compelling matchup for anyone but hey it is a bowl.
Recap: A 39-21 game that was overshadowed by the UTSA comeback in the First Responder Bowl.
Servpro First Responder Bowl
Where: Dallas, Texas
When: Saturday, December 26
Who: UTSA vs (17) Louisiana-Lafayette ABC 2:30 p.m.
UTSA gets a little break before playing a really good ULL squad on ABC. This is big moment to shine a bit.
Recap: The 31-24 loss saw Frank Harris lead a 17-0 run to tie the game at 24 before ULL pulled away with a clutch six-minute drive and a big stop late.
