For the first time since 2010, the RedHawks (6-6) are going bowling. The Miami University football team received and accepted an invitation to play Mississippi State University (5-7) in the St. Petersburg Bowl at 11:00 a.m. on Monday, December 26.
This will be MU’s ninth bowl appearance in program history as the ‘Hawks look to improve upon their 5-3 mark in postseason play.
Mississippi State hails from the West Division of the Southeastern Conference, where it finished sixth. This will be the ‘Hawks’ first matchup against an SEC opponent since falling short, 17-6, on the road against the University of Missouri.
