Western Michigan won its second-ever bowl game as a program in its home state, jumping all over Nevada early and cruising to a win in the Quick Lane Bowl. Nevada did enjoy the element of surprise in the early stages of the game thanks to the overwhelming number of absences from the team that got the Wolf Pack to this game.
Head coach Jay Norvell left to take the job at Colorado State, and with multiple coordinators also departing for other jobs, this was a skeleton staff on the sideline leading a team that was down nearly 20 players because of injuries, transfers and opt-outs.
The offense, in particular, lacked star quarterback Carson Strong and the top five pass-catchers from the regular season. So when backup quarterback Nate Cox led two scoring drives in the first 20 minutes of the game, it inspired some belief in this undermanned Nevada squad. But Western Michigan made good adjustments defensively, and Nevada's defense had a difficult time getting stops. Each of the Broncos' first five possessions ended in scores with four reaching the end zone, and by the time they punted for the first time, it was a point game in the third quarter.
Western Michigan's ground game was punishing, rolling up yards and four touchdowns, and the effort was complimented by huge plays in special teams starting in the game's early stages when Sean Tyler -- who also led the Broncos in rushing with yards -- ran a kickoff back yards for the first touchdown of the game.

The walk-off kick capped off an eight-play, yard drive that took the final off the clock. The fourth quarter of the Armed Forces Bowl was by far the most action-packed. Army got things started when backup quarterback Tyheir Tyler hit Brandon Walters all alone in the end zone from 15 yards out to give the Black Knights a lead.
Tyler was one of three quarterbacks who played in the game for Jeff Monken's crew. But Missouri would respond when it needed to most. Freshman quarterback Brady Cook, who got his first career start over Connor Bazelak, found Keke Chism in the back of the end zone from six yards out with to go to give the Tigers a lead.
Cook's touchdown pass capped off an play, yard drive that began with Missouri taking over with to play and no timeouts.

So the way BYU came out and the way it finished is what really won it this game.
And the way it finished mattered because even though it started the final frame up seven, it was not up by seven or more all the way through en route to the point victory. Washington State cut it to four on a Johanna Teder three 27 seconds into the fourth and then cut it to one on a Charlisse Leger-Walker triple 24 seconds later.
