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]
