After finishing their regular season with a record of 7–3 (4–3 in conference play), the Mustangs accepted an invitation to the Frisco Bowl,[2] where they were slated to play the UTSA Roadrunners.[3] However, the bowl was subsequently canceled, due to COVID-19 concerns within the SMU football program.[4]
Previous Season
The Mustangs finished the 2019 season 10–3, 6–2 in The American play to finish in third place in the West Division. The Mustangs competed in the postseason bowl season, ultimately losing to FAU in the Boca Raton Bowl 28–52.
