Memphis to Play West Virginia in Scooter’s Coffee Frisco Bowl
MEMPHIS, Tenn. – The No. 25th-ranked University of Memphis football team will square off with West Virginia in the 2024 Scooter’s Coffee Frisco Bowl on Tuesday, Dec. 17 in Frisco, Texas, at Toyota Stadium. The game is scheduled for 8 p.m. and will be nationally televised on ESPN.
The Tigers’ selection to the Scooter’s Coffee Frisco Bowl marks the 11th-straight season that Memphis has earned a bowl bid – the seventh-longest streak in the country and longest among all non-Power 4 programs.
The game will mark the first-ever meeting between the Tigers (10-2, 6-2 AAC) and Mountaineers (6-6, 5-4 Big 12) as Memphis will match up with a Big 12 opponent in its bowl game for the second-straight season after defeating Iowa State in last year’s AutoZone Liberty Bowl.
West Virginia will be making its fourth bowl appearance in five years after posting a 6-6 overall record during the season with a 5-4 mark in Big 12 play. Among the Mountaineers’ wins in 2024 were Kansas (32-28), Cincinnati (31-24) and Arizona (31-26) while finding themselves on the losing side of a 12-point game to No. 16 Iowa State (28-16) on Oct. 12.
The Mountaineers bring a top 30 rushing offense in the country into the matchup and are one of the least-penalized teams in the nation. Historically, West Virginia has a .293 winning percentage against ranked opponents.
