Arizona Bowl Overview
At the onset, the Arizona Bowl was founded in 2015 and has current tie-ins to the Mountain West Conference and Mid-American Conference. It is one of the few bowl games not under the ESPN umbrella. As a result, that led to some trouble finding a broadcast home. The CW currently broadcasts the Arizona Bowl after previously being on the Barstool Network.
Last year, it looked like Toledo was going to spoil Craig Bohl’s going-away party. His Wyoming Cowboys wouldn’t let that happen. Wyoming scored ten unanswered points in the fourth quarter to stun Toledo 16-15 in the Barstool Sports Arizona Bowl. To conclude, it was in front of an announced crowd of 30,428 at Arizona Stadium.
The Cowboys sent their retiring, revered coach out on a joyous note, turning the Arizona Bowl into the Arizona Bohl. Junior kicker John Hoyland was named the game’s MVP after connecting on three field goals. Including a 52-yarder and the game-winner from 24 yards as time expired.
