Some bigtime exposure for the program. Hopefully we can repeat our championship game performance!

Will Huntley be available for this game?

Could they be ranked with a win? Would have victories against ranked UB and SJSU then.

He’s done. He wants to prepare for the draft. I’m disappointed in that but it’s his decision and his life. There is a huge huuuuuge drop off in RB’s.

Fun fact: Tye Evans, the backup RB, dad was a WWE wrestler. Last name was Tarver I think.

I think his injury played a roll in that decision. If he was 100%, I think he’d be playing. But if he’s only 75-90%, it’s better for him to fully recover and not risk re-injuring himself and miss his pro day/combine

Good luck against those west coasters.

It dumbfounds me that SC, with such an abysmal record and fired coach, thought a bowl was worthwhile during a pandemic. This season just goes to show how stupid our current bowl system is.

Definitely should be.

Huntley is a Pro for sure! As much as I love my EMU eagles, our LBs didn’t want any part of meeting this guy head on between the tackles.

And a 9-2 Army team is sitting at home because nobody wanted to play them.

Whether it is the Armed Forces Bwl, the Military Bowl, the INdependence Bowl, Army should be playing a bowl game. And if you're to damn afraid to play them, well then your teams butts should be sitting at home instead. That's absurd.

Luckily for Army, TN backed out of the Liberty Bowl and Army has taken their place

Is West Virginia griping about not being prepared to face the triple option offense? I heard that was an issue for other teams.

Don't like that it was COVID related, but thank goodness they are backing out of the bowl game

I grew up with his dad's family in Kent. It was pretty trippy to see him wrestling with WWE. I don't think he lasted very long though. All around nice family and I wish Tye the best. Except when they play Kent of course. But then again I don't mind if he runs for 400 as long as Kent gets the win.

Nice promos run by CBS during Colts-Steelers (at least). Hopefully the game takes place. Music City Bowl was canceled today.

Let's go get that Bowl Trophy! 2-0 guarantees a share!
Good luck Cards.

Is this the first MAC game on CBS?

Go Cards !!
Go MAC !!

Go Cards!!! Nice start.
