Tucson, Ariz. (Dec. 28, 2022) -- The 2022 University of Wyoming Football team will cap off a successful season on Friday, Dec. 30 in Tucson, Ariz., when it will face the Ohio Bobcats in the Barstool Sports Arizona Bowl. It will be the culmination of a season that saw Wyoming, one of the youngest teams in the nation, exceed all expectations to post a 7-5 record and finish second in the Mountain West Conference Mountain Division.
Ohio advanced to the Mid-American Conference (MAC) Championship Game in 2022 as the MAC East Division Champion. The Bobcats finished as the MAC runner-up after losing 17-7 to Toledo in the championship game, and will bring a 9-4 record into the Arizona Bowl. Friday’s game will kick off at 2:30 p.m., Mountain Time from Arizona Stadium in Tucson.
This year’s appearance will be Wyoming’s 18th bowl appearance in history. The Cowboys are 9-8 overall in bowl games.
