SENATOBIA - As the regular season begins to wind to a close, several college football teams are fighting for bowl eligibility and possible conference title game scenarios.
With that in mind, Wednesday begins a busy week, which will feature Northwest alums Tank Pearson and L.J. Shumpert leading Ohio against Eastern Michigan on ESPN2, while D.T. Sheffield and North Texas will battle UTSA on Friday night.
Nationally-ranked Colorado and Washington State will also look to bolster their respective rankings, with former Ranger Rayyan Buell and the Buffaloes facing Utah on Saturday morning on FOX. Stephen Hall and Washington State will face New Mexico at 8:30 on Saturday evening on FS1.
In all, a total of 43 Northwest football student-athletes will suit up for FBS and FCS programs this weekend.
