West Virginia has been selected to play in Scooter’s Coffee Frisco Bowl to cap off a tumultuous 2024 season.
Just days after parting ways with coach Neal Brown, the Mountaineers accepted a bid to play No. 25 Memphis at 9 p.m. Dec. 17 at Toyota Stadium in Frisco, Texas.
The game will air on ESPN.
“We are excited to have two outstanding teams participate in the 2024 Scooter’s Coffee Frisco Bowl, the West Virginia Mountaineers and the Memphis Tigers,” Scooter’s Coffee Frisco Bowl executive director Sean Johnson said. “We look forward to hosting this great matchup and welcoming the teams and their passionate fan bases to Frisco, Texas, for an exciting week of bowl events and a fantastic game at Toyota Stadium.”
West Virginia, which finished 6-6 in the regular season and went 5-4 in the Big 12, good for eighth place, will appear in its fourth bowl game in five years and its 41st overall. The Mountaineers are led by senior offensive tackle Wyatt Milum, who has been named a semifinalist for the Outland Trophy, which is given to the best college interior lineman.
Chad Scott will serve as the Mountaineers’ interim head coach.
Memphis (10-2) is led by senior quarterback Seth Henigan, who is the AAC’s all-time leading passer with 13,972 yards.
This is the first meeting between the two schools.
