Ladies and gentlemen, everything is ready at Toyota Stadium for the kick-off. In a minute the kickoff will be kicked off and hopefully this edition of the Frisco Bowl will be a great game.

The Frisco Bowl is a NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision postseason college football game played in Frisco, Texas, since December 2017.

On April 21, 2017, it was announced that the Miami Beach Bowl, which had been owned and operated by the American Athletic Conference, had been sold to ESPN Events and would be moving to Frisco, Texas, to be played each year at Toyota Stadium. as of the 2017 season.

On December 3, 2017, SMU and Louisiana Tech were announced as the teams for the opening game of the Bowl. In 2019, Tropical Smoothie Cafe became the new title sponsor.

The 2020 Frisco Bowl was originally scheduled to be contested by SMU Mustangs and UTSA Roadrunners. The game was scheduled to be the first meeting between the two teams, however, two days after the match was announced, the 2020 edition was canceled due to COVID-19 concerns.

The players are already on the field of play at Toyota Stadium warming up before the start of this Tropical Smoothie Cafe Frisco Bowl.

This afternoon, two of the NCAAF's best teams outside of the Power Five face off when San Diego State meets UTSA in the Frisco Bowl. The Aztecs earned their ticket to the Mountain West Championship Game after reaching 11 victories in the regular season, marking the first time in history that they have done so.

Although they lost to Utah state, the Aztecs also caused 20 players to miss the title game due to Covid-19 issues. Today they will have good news as they have recovered their best elements.

UTSA comes to this Bowl in the second season of head coach Jeff Traylor. After entering the year with no more than seven wins since joining Conference USA in 2012, the Roadrunners finished 12-1 with a 49-41 victory over Western Kentucky to win the conference.

Running back Sincere McCormick will not play for UTSA in today's game after declaring for the NFL Draft. However, both teams should be highly motivated regardless of absences; The Road Runners haven't won a Bowl game in history, and these two teams haven't met.

A few moments ago the two teams arrived at Toyota Stadium for this great confrontation, it will be a new edition of the Frisco Bowl and we will have a winner tonight.

The Roadrunners defense allowed an average of 23.6 points per game, which was 44 in the league. The team allowed an average of 111.2 rushing yards and 252.2 passing yards for a total of 363.5 yards per game.

Statistical leaders in defense for UTSA were Rashad Wisdom with 86 tackles, Clarence Hicks with 10 sacks from quarterback and three players each had two interceptions. We'll see how they perform this afternoon at the Frisco Bowl.

The San Diego Aztecs offense averaged just 27.1 points per game, which is 145th in the entire NCAAF. The Aztecs are averaging 176.3 rushing yards but just 155.2 yards per game.

Lucas Johnson threw for 1,091 yards with nine touchdowns and four interceptions, while Jordon Brookshire, who played in the conference championship loss to Utah State, threw for 830 yards with three touchdowns and one interception.

Greg Bell rushed for 999 yards and eight touchdowns, while the leading receiver was Jesse Matthews with 482 receptions and seven touchdowns.

We started the coverage of the Frisco Bowl, a good game between UTSA and San Diego State.

Welcome and good afternoon!
