The Washington State Cougars and Central Michigan Chippewas will take the field on New Year’s Eve morning in El Paso, Texas for the 2021 Sun Bowl. WSU is listed as 7-point favorites by DraftKings*, despite being down several key players.
The Cougs will be without its two starting tackles (Liam Ryan, Abe Lucas), its top two running backs (Max Borghi, Deon McIntosh), and its best cornerback (Jaylen Watson) in the Sun Bowl. That means plenty of young players will have an opportunity to show the coaching staff what they can do ahead of the 2022 season.
