We’ve known for some time the matchup set to take place at Nassau’s Thomas A. Robinson Stadium, but Selection Sunday made it officially official, as the Miami RedHawks (6-6, 4-4 MAC East) will take on Conference USA’s UAB Blazers (6-6, 4-4- C-USA) in the 2022 edition of the Bahamas Bowl.
This marks Miami’s first time participating in the postseason’s only international bowl game on offer, while this will be UAB’s second appearance.
The Blazers lost their first time around, getting trounced by Ohio 41-6 in 2017. That was an important year for UAB, which saw their program re-kindled after getting shut down a few years prior, with the Blazers emerging 8-4 in their first campaign back in FBS play.
