The 2012 AutoZone Liberty Bowl is a planned post-season American college football bowl game held on December 31, 2012 at the Liberty Bowl Memorial Stadium in Memphis, Tennessee in the United States. The 54th edition of the Liberty Bowl will begin at 2:30 p.m. CST and will air on ESPN. It will feature the Iowa State Cyclones from the Big 12 Conference against the Conference USA champion Tulsa Golden Hurricane and will be the final game of the 2012 NCAA Division I FBS football season for both teams. The Golden Hurricane advanced to the game by virtue of winning the 2012 Conference USA Football Championship Game, while the Cyclones advanced by virtue of their 6-6 regular-season record.[1]
The two teams had previously met on September 1 at the Cyclones' home of Jack Trice Stadium in Ames, Iowa; the Cyclones won that game 38-23.
Teams
Iowa State
Despite the Cyclones' ninth-place finish in the Big 12 with a 3-6 conference record, their record made them the Big 12's last bowl eligible team (the only team in the conference not to do so was the Kansas Jayhawks).
This will be the Cyclones' second Liberty Bowl.
Tulsa
The Golden Hurricane continued their winning history in Conference USA, winning the West Division championship with a 7–1 conference record. After defeating the UCF Knights by a score of 33–27 in overtime to win their second Conference USA title (and their first since winning the 2005 game over the same Knights), the conference's corresponding contingency plan for the 2012–13 NCAA Bowl season put the Golden Hurricane in the 2012 Liberty Bowl.[2]
This will be the Golden Hurricane's second Liberty Bowl, previously having won the 2005 game by defeating the Fresno State Bulldogs by a score of 31–24.
