SDSU simply doesn't have the horses to keep pace with Ohio. They are also going in reverse as they have lost 4 of their last 5 games including 3 straight to close out the season. They are unsettled at QB and won't be able to outscore Ohio with that offense. OU cruises to a win in this one.

I'm cool with The Aztecs. At least folks are familiar with the school. I hope to make this one. I'm overdue and this was a destination I thought would be worth the trip.

Stadium is smaller than our place.

Fans boards post count so far a draw - 4 to 4 (as of 11:02 PM Sunday of the announcement)....

But they do show some respect for OHIO

Looking forward to the game, we have a pretty decent record against the MAC, let's hope it continues.

2015-2018 they are 39-14. Their seniors have been a part of lots of winning and will not like being underdogs vs. Ohio. They beat Boise State and Arizona State this year. Boise managed only 51 yards rushing, 1.4 per attempt vs. the Aztecs. Stanford and Arizona State rushed for only 50 and 36 respectively vs. the Aztecs. On defense, this season, they have held opponents to 2.7 per rushing attempt. Their OL resembles Ohio's. Their coaches will have plenty of time to prepare. The Aztecs have plenty of bowl experience, Long winning three so far, and will not let the team lose focus or get caught up in the bowl atmosphere. The most any opponent has scored against the Aztecs has been 31, twice, Stanford and Hawaii. Stanford's 21 point win was the only time anyone "cruised to a win" vs the Aztecs. Stanford's QB, Costello, passed for 300+ and 4TDs, when the Cardinal were held to the already mentioned 50 yards rushing.

SDSU is a tough opponent. Anyone who thinks the Cats can coast in this one is delusional. Rocky Long has put up some of the best defenses in the country. The Aztecs regularly play high caliber teams and have been competitive against the PAC-12. Hoping for the best but I don't think it will be a repeat of UAB.

Didn't NIU go out and get spanked by SDSU a couple years ago? This will be a tough test against a solid MWC program.

Easy to not be "disappointed" in a bowl game season when you've won three conference titles in the last seven years and been nationally ranked multiple times during that time period.

They aren't starving for something for 50 years ... and something they've been tantalizingly close to multiple times in the last decade.

Knowing Ohio is most likely the best team in the MAC the past two years and has no title to show, let alone a title game appearance is a tough pill to swallow ... especially when they haven't won it in 50 years.

I'm excited for the Frisco Bowl ... it's a different bowl against a very good program. But it still feels like a consolation prize to another title-less year as the best team in the MAC.

SDSU is way down this year from what they've been the previous three seasons (2015-17).

In 2015 they went 11-3 averaging 32.1 ppg, rushing for 233 ypg and allowed 16.4 ppg
In 2016 they went 11-3 averaging 35.2 ppg, rushing for 262 ypg an allowed 20.2 ppg
In 2017 they went 10-3 averaging 30.8 ppg, rushing for 252 ypg and allowed 20.2 ppg

In 2018 they're just 7-5 averaging just 22.3 ppg, rushing for 162 ypg and allowed 21.8 ppg

They are still doing a respectable job on defense but have fallen off big time offensively, especially with the running game they've lost between the outstanding duo of Pumphrey and Penny over the last several years (both are long gone). Washington is nowhere near either of those two. They are also somewhat unsettled at the QB spot this year as well, and their leading receiver has just 31 catches and no player on the team has over 600 receiving yards. In short, they are much more of a grind it out team as opposed to the one capable of the explosive plays they made prior to this season, which is why I see Ohio posing a big problem for them. I do not see SDSU slowing down Ohio's offense enough for their offense to try and keep pace.

This should be a great bowl game. I hope we play an exciting and dominant game to expand our recruiting to the West Coast. Hopefully, we can attract our next Blair Brown. I hope we can get some young linemen some minutes, since we lose 3 great ones. I also hope Allison gets some carries after A.J. and Maleek impose their will on SDSU. I hope Isaiah Cox and Buckner make some catches, Cox has disappeared since the fumble in the Miami game. I hope we get some young linebackers some time as well. Let’s get a victory and get an early start on next year. Go Cats

The program doesn't get it done when it needs to but statistically is a top G5 program. Reminds me of another school in California by the name Fresno St who could never get over the top an win a WAC Championship. The question to me is can Ohio do what UC did under Minter to Kelly; have a consistent program under Minter and then have the next coach walk in and take things further? In this regard Ohio might be more like UC if an excellent staff walks in capitalizing on the IPF and Sook Center.

I believe they go to every bowl every year.
