The Montgomery Bowl is a post-season NCAA-sanctioned Division I FBS college football bowl game set to debut in December 2020. The bowl, to be played at the Cramton Bowl in Montgomery, Alabama, is owned and operated by ESPN Events.

Florida Atlantic senior cornerback Zyon Gilbert is the FAU star who leads the team with 12.5 tackles for loss and ranks fifth nationally with 1.12 sacks per game (nine total).

Gilbert is tied for the team lead with four passes defensed.

"I grew up an Alabama fan," said Gilbert, who was an all-state defensive back at Jefferson Davis High. "Once you pick (Alabama over Auburn), you don't switch."

Memphis will set a school record by playing in a bowl game for the seventh straight year. The Tigers are 5-8 in their bowl history, with 12 of their 13 appearances coming since 2003. But the Tigers have not won a bowl game since beating Brigham Young 55-48 in the 2014 Miami Beach Bowl.

"Our guys are excited about the opportunity to win a bowl game for the first time in a long time," Memphis coach Ryan Silverfield said.

Memphis' biggest stars are senior quarterback Brady White and junior wide receiver Calvin Austin III.

White holds Memphis records for career passing yards (10,406), touchdown passes (87) and wins (27).
