It’s their longest streak since going to seven straight bowls from 1999 to 2025.

And speaking of history, Matt Entz could become just the second first-year head coach to lead Fresno State to a bowl victory.

Jeff Tedford was the first.

And as for Miami of Ohio, the Redhawks were runners-up in the Mid-American Conference.

But their starting quarterback, Dequan Finn, left the team in mid-November, citing his desire to focus on the NFL.

The game will air on our sister station, The CW59, on Saturday, December 27th at 1:30 p.m.
