Lots of emotion on Saturday in Tucson as longtime Wyo HC Craig Bohl will be hanging 'em up after this Arizona Bowl. Bohl won't be disappearing from view, as he is likely to move into the important Executive Director post of the AFCA (American Football Coaches Association), which seems a perfect fit. On the field, expect a spirited effort from the Cowboys, whose QB Andrew Peasley performed with some flair while RB Harrison Waylee delivered another rugged Bohl infantry threat. Meanwhile, the Rockets were disappointed by the MAC title game loss to Miami-O and will be playing minus do-it-all QB Dequan Finn, who hit the transfer portal and already landed at Baylor. Play Wyo (Arizona Bowl)
The line has flipped about five points following several key defections for Toledo. It could have moved even more. Wyoming's rugged defense should contain a unit without QB Dejuan Finn and top RB Peny Boone. The Cowboys' D need only replace one opt-out. The bowl fates of the two coaches offer a contrast. Wyoming's Craig Bohl -- an appropriate surname -- is 4-0-1 ATS, while Toledo's Jason Candle's teams have dropped five in a row ATS. Motivation sits firmly on the side of the Cowboys, who hope to send Bohl into retirement with a win.
This game is being played at the stadium I frequent often (Arizona Stadium) so of course I have to make a pick on it! Wyoming coach Craig Bohl is retiring after the game so I expect his team to play well in his final collegiate game. Plus Toledo has been hammered via the transfer portal. The Cowboys should take care of business. Wyoming 27, Toledo 17.
