College football game
The 2018 Frisco Bowl was a college football bowl game played on December 19, 2018,[ 3] with kickoff scheduled for 8:00 p.m. EST (7:00 p.m. local CST ).[ 4] It was the second edition of the Frisco Bowl , and one of the 2018–19 bowl games concluding the 2018 FBS football season . Sponsored by Destination XL Group , a retailer of men's big and tall apparel, the game was officially known as the DXL Frisco Bowl . In the game, the Ohio Bobcats shut out the San Diego State Aztecs , 27–0.
Although the bowl has a tie-in with the American Athletic Conference , due to UCF receiving a bid to the Fiesta Bowl —a New Year's Six bowl—the conference was unable to provide a team.[ 5] Thus, bowl organizers sought at-large teams, and announced a matchup of the Ohio Bobcats of the Mid-American Conference (MAC) against the San Diego State Aztecs of the Mountain West Conference .[ 6] This was the first meeting between the two programs.[ 7]
Ohio received and accepted a bid to the Frisco Bowl on December 2.[ 6] The Bobcats entered the bowl with an 8–4 record (6–2 in conference), having won 5-of-6 to close their regular season.
San Diego State Aztecs [ edit ] San Diego State received and accepted a bid to the Frisco Bowl on December 2.[ 6] The Aztecs entered the bowl with a 7–5 record (4–4 in conference), having lost 4-of-5 to close their regular season.
