The first ever DXL Frisco Bowl, formerly the Miami Beach Bowl, will feature former WAC foes. The 7-5 SMU Mustangs from the American will welcome the 6-6 Louisiana Tech Bulldogs of Conference USA into the DFW area. The two schools have met four times previously when they were conference mates in the WAC from 2001-2004. La Tech leads the all time series 3-1, winning games in Shreveport, Ruston, and Dallas. SMU’s lone win over the Dawgs came in Dallas in 2002.
For Louisiana Tech, this extends their bowl streak to a school record four straight years.
