Hey, college football enthusiasts, it’s perfectly fine to admit it—you’re eagerly waiting for the weekend when the major postseason games in the Football Bowl Subdivision happen. But let’s be honest: any college football is better than none, right?

This bowl season continues tonight with one game scheduled in Texas. Let’s take a moment to examine the two teams competing, one of which had a fairly successful season in 2024 and the other is now looking ahead while reminiscing about its history.

Frisco Bowl – No. 23 Memphis vs. West Virginia

Start Time/Channel: 9 p.m. ET, ESPN

Why Tune In: The first ranked team in the bowl season will be playing, aiming for a second victory against teams from major conferences. Memphis bounced back from an early loss to Navy, winning six out of their last seven games, while West Virginia is gearing up for leadership changes after an inconsistent run in the Big 12. Offensive coordinator Chad Scott will lead WVU in this bowl game following the termination of Neal Brown. Quarterback Garrett Greene, a seasoned player, is at the helm, but he’ll want to put his last performance behind him—marked by an interception and a fumble that contributed to a heavy 52-15 defeat against Texas Tech. Memphis boasts a high-scoring offense averaging over 35 points per game, powered by the talented trio of QB Seth Henigan, RB Mario Anderson Jr., and WR Roc Taylor.

Potential Disappointment: On paper, this matchup favors one side heavily. Although there is renewed hope in Morgantown with the possible return of Rich Rodriguez, fielding a strong team will be a challenge given the numerous player departures to the transfer portal.
