Independence Bowl
The Independence Bowl is a National Collegiate Athletic Association NCAA postseason approved Division I college football game played annually each December at Independence Stadium in Shreveport, Louisiana.
The Independence Bowl got its name because it was inaugurated in 1976, the year of the Bicentennial of United States Independence. The bowl's current title sponsor is Radiance Technologies, according to an announced deal for the 2020-2025 editions. Only one previous edition of the bowl, in 2013, has not used the Independence Bowl brand.
The 2020 bowl edition was canceled on December 20, 2020 due to insufficient equipment available to fill all 2020-21 bowl games, following a season impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.
IT’s OFFICIAL ‼️🏈

Ready the dressing room of the local team
Honestly, this isn't the hottest bowl offering for BYU, but the Cougars have an excellent shot this afternoon to hit 11 wins for the second straight season. It would be the first time they've accomplished that feat since the Cougars finished No. 5 in the 1996 season.

The UAB players are also on the Independence Stadium pitch warming up prior to kick-off, which was postponed a few minutes later due to bad weather.

The battle in the trenches will be key against totally different styles
The UAB must win in the trenches: Statistically, the Blazers have been much better at stopping the run, allowing opponents just 104.2 yards per game on the ground and limiting them to 3.03 yards per rush. They rank 11th nationally in ground defense, while BYU ranks 67th. BYU's passing game is statistically superior, but UAB may have a shot if it wins the battle in the trenches and makes the Cougars great. one-dimensional on offense.
The Independence Bowl is back
After taking a hiatus last year amid the strong COVID-19 pandemic, the Independence Bowl is back this year with a couple of teams making their first game appearances. They will meet this afternoon BYU, which is coming off a 10-2 regular season, and the UAB, which finished 8-4 in a battle that had never been played before.
This marks the UAB's fifth consecutive season finishing above .500 since returning to the field after a two-year hiatus in 2015 and 2016. Winning the BYU team would mark a breakthrough for the Blazers.

The match will be played at Independence Stadium
Independence Stadium is a stadium owned by the city of Shreveport, Louisiana, and is home to the Independence Bowl. Formerly known as State Fair Stadium and Fairgrounds Stadium, it is the site of the annual Independence Bowl postseason college football game.
The stadium is also host to numerous high school football games and soccer games, as many schools in Shreveport lack on-campus facilities. Independence Stadium also hosted the LHSAA State Football Championship games in 2005 after the Louisiana Superdome was severely damaged by Hurricane Katrina.
