University of Wyoming Football Preparing For Arizona Bowl: The Wyoming Cowboy Football team is in Tucson preparing for Saturday’s Arizona Bowl against the University of Toledo.

The Rockets have primarily been a running team averaging more than 200 yards per game which is the 11th best in the country.

What they won’t have is their starting quarterback who decided to transfer a few weeks ago, however, their backup QB Tucker Gleason has some playing experience this season.

UW Coach Craig Bohl says just because he’s been the backup, does not mean the Cowboys will overlook him.

Meanwhile Toledo Coach Jason Candle says he’s aware this will be Coach Bohl’s final game before retirement.

He says he respects what Coach Bohl has done through his career and that he’s been doing the right things.

Kickoff for the Arizona Bowl is scheduled for 2:30pm.
