It appears the Washington State Cougars might get a chance to play the Sun Bowl after all: According to Sports Illustrated’s Ross Dellenger, the Sun Bowl is in negotiations to bring Central Michigan to El Paso.
The Chippewas are currently in Tucson, Arizona, where they were supposed to be playing the Arizona Bowl against Boise State. But the Broncos withdrew today because of a Covid outbreak, leaving the Chippewas in limbo.
The Cougars, meanwhile, wait in El Paso, wondering if they’ll get to play after their scheduled opponent — the Miami Hurricanes — dropped out yesterday because of their own Covid issues.
