In a rare move, the MW decides to rename this weekly award
the Tyson Degenhart Freshman of the Week Award.

Boise State pulls out of the Arizona Bowl due to Covid issues.
Breaking: @BroncoSportsFB has pulled out of @theARIZONABOWL due to too many players contracting covid. We are actively looking for a replacement. I suggest @WSUCougarFB does a poll of players whether they want to play in Az bowl or Sun Bowl.

Wolf Pack play better in 2nd half, but had too big of a hole to get out of in the Quick Lane Bowl.
A dominant performance from @WMU_Football!
