In the midst of a coaching scandal that led to the firing of Brian Smith, Ohio is shifting its focus to the Frisco Bowl against UNLV. The Bobcats' first-year coach was terminated with cause, citing an extramarital affair with an Ohio student and policy violations. Smith's attorney disputes the university's claims, but Ohio has moved forward with defensive coordinator John Hauser taking the helm. Hauser emphasized the importance of the team staying focused on the game, citing good-on-good practices and the players' effort. For the seniors, this bowl game serves as a reward and a chance to send them off on a high note. The team's depth chart remains intact, ensuring quarterback Parker Navarro and running back Sieh Bangura can continue their impressive performances. UNLV, led by first-year coach Dan Mullen, comes into the game with a 10-3 record and a strong offense. Anthony Colandrea, the Mountain West Offensive Player of the Year, has thrown for 3,275 yards and 23 touchdowns. The Rebels will need to be at their best to win, as Ohio boasts a six-game bowl win streak, second only to Minnesota's eight consecutive victories. The Frisco Bowl promises to be an exciting matchup between the two teams.
