Two college football lifers will take their programs to an unlikely first-ever meeting.
Ohio University accepted an invitation to play in the 2018 DXL Friso Bowl on Sunday afternoon. The Bobcats (8-4) will face San Diego State (7-5) on Wednesday, Dec. 19 at Toyota Stadium in Friso, Texas. Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. ET, and the game will be nationally televised on ESPN.
The date of the game, Dec. 19, is also the same as early National Signing Day for college football. But if anyone can handle the crush of having two of the biggest calendar events for a program on the same day, it will be the Bobcats’ and Aztecs’ long-time head coaches.
