Maple Leafs’ William Nylander: Still no updates on injury
After all, Superman is not supposed to bleed, much less get knocked out in front of a sold-out crowd that was maybe 30% Canadian. Just when Team Canada thought they had one up, the goal was reviewed and it seemed inconclusive so it was waved off.
The Miami Hurricanes, 8-5 after the loss, fell in the team’s sixth consecutive bowl game.
Miami has sent two defensive players home from the Hyundai Sun Bowl, one for a conduct issue and the other because he was ruled academically ineligible. The 2015 Sun Bowl was the first win of the Mike Leach era and the first for Washington State since 2003.

But there was no question about his performance in WSU’s win, as he caught five passes for 67 yards to lead the team, sneaking behind the Miami defense to score a 25-yard touchdown. Miami is 0-5 in bowl games since then, including a 33-17 loss to Notre Dame in the 2010 Sun Bowl. NCAA drama kept Al Golden and his Canes out of back-to-back bowl games in 2011 and 2012, before Miami was smacked down by Louisville (2013) and SC (2014).
