The Miami RedHawks (6-6, 4-4 MAC) had to play their way in under the weeknight lights against Ball State, who was also 5-6 at the time of the game. The RedHawks utilized an opportunistic defense and a couple high-flying offensive drives to secure their bid to the Bahamas in style. It’s a nice reward after a back-and-forth season which saw Miami as a potential division favorite. They dealt with heavy departures in the offseason and a myriad of injuries during the season, but can build positive momentum for next season with a win here.

The UAB Blazers (6-6, 4-4 Conference USA) earned their way to Nassau with a win in the sopping rain agaisnt rival Louisiana Tech, getting their required sixth win with relative ease. It has been a tumultuous season in Birmingham, as program legend Bill Clark retired from coaching due to medical issues. Interim coach Bryant Vincent was tasked with leading the team, performing admirably all considered. It wasn’t enough to keep the job, as the school hired Trent Dilfer to lead the Blazers starting in 2023. Vincent will coach in the bowl game.
