2022 Bowl Games schedule, college football scores, live updates today: Troy stifles UTSA in Cure Bowl

College football bowl games are upon us as the 2022 postseason begins with a flurry of matchups that will mark a celebration of a compelling year in the sport. The action kicked off on Friday, Dec. 16 and will run all the way through the College Football Playoff National Championship on Monday, Jan. 9 as we crown a national title winner for the 2022 season.

The Bowl Season action got started early on Friday with a Bahamas Bowl that came down to the wire as UAB topped Miami (OH) 24-20 when the Redhawks came up just two yards shy of a potential game-winning touchdown on the game’s final play. The win capped a 7-6 season for UAB under interim coach Bryan Vincent before former NFL star quarterback Trent Dilfer takes over as the program’s next coach.

Second on the Friday slate was a showdown between conference champions as No. 24 Troy of the Sun Belt edged No. 25 UTSA of Conference USA 18-12 in the Cure Bowl. The win capped a 12-2 season for the Trojans under first-year coach Jon Sumrall. It’s the first time that Troy has won 12 games as a member of the Football Bowl Subdivision.
