UTSA quarterback Frank Harris and the RoadRunners’ senior class will be looking to end their historic college careers with the program’s first bowl victory as they face Marshall, historically one of the better Group of Five programs in the country.
UTSA changed conferences this season and finished third in the American Athletic Athletic Conference after back-to-back Conference USA titles and went 8-1 in games in which Harris has been healthy enough to play. On the other side, Marshall had a hot start to the season but had to rally to win the last two regular-season games to reach its seventh consecutive bowl game.

Meanwhile, Air Force returns to the scene of its bowl victory from last season, where it ran the ball at will against Baylor on an uncharacteristically freezing night.
