Washington State finished the regular season with an 8-4 record, good enough for third place in the PAC-12 North, and will play home team to the 8-4 University of Miami Hurricanes in the Hyundai Sun Bowl in El Paso, Texas, on December 26th. The game kicks off at 11 AM PST and will be broadcast on CBS with Carter Blackburn on the call and Gary Danielson as the analyst, with Allie LaForce on the sideline.
Miami has had an interesting year. It started out with head coach Al Golden on the hot seat, which only got warmer despite the Canes winning their first three games against Bethune-Cookman, Nebraska, and Florida Atlantic.
