CMU replaces Miami in the Sun Bowl. The Hurricanes could not play WSU due to COVID-19 issues. Boise State similarly had to withdraw from the Arizona Bowl due to cases within the program.
The Arizona Bowl’s announcement said the game was being canceled due to a program’s COVID spike.
The Sun Bowl is set for noon ET on Friday, Dec. 31 in El Paso, Texas.
