The 2022 Myrtle Beach Bowl was a postseason college football bowl game played on December 19, 2022, at Brooks Stadium in Conway, South Carolina. The third annual Myrtle Beach Bowl, the game featured the Marshall Thundering Herd of the Sun Belt Conference and the University of Connecticut (UConn) Huskies, who were not affiliated with a football conference. The bowl game was the final contest concluding the 2022 NCAA Division I Football Bowl Subdivision (Division I FBS) football season for both teams, and ended in a 28–14 victory for Marshall.
The game began at 2:34 p.m. EST.[3] Both offenses started sub-optimally with fumbles on their first drives, with UConn's coming on their first play from scrimmage. Marshall scored the game's first points with a touchdown on the second play of their second drive, and doubled their lead with an interception returned for a touchdown later in the first quarter. After punts by both teams, UConn missed an opportunity to score when a 45-yard field goal was not converted, and Marshall took advantage by scoring a touchdown on their next drive. A turnover on downs and a punt took the game to halftime, though early in the second half both teams scored touchdowns, and UConn scored a second on their next drive to shrink their deficit to 14 points. Their final two drives resulted in another turnover on downs and an interception, though, and the game finished with Marshall defeating UConn, 28–14.
