NOTES
- Fl St has never played in this bowl, doesn't even want to be there
- Fl St with interim coach
- Fl St long injury list suggests indifference
- Fl St letdown season, players dejected by exiting coach Jimbo Fisher
- SoMS has won the Independence Bowl twice, never lost
- SoMS is upswing for season, 8-4, improved from 7-5 last year
they are proud to play today and will try hard to win 3rd trophy
- Very small injury list
- Setting in Shreveport LA more to SoMS liking than Fl St
