THIS WEEK IN COWBOY FOOTBALL All-MW Cowboys: The Mountain West Conference announced its 2023 All-Mountain West football teams on Nov. 28 and eight Wyoming Cowboys were honored. The team was selected in voting by the 12 Mountain West head coaches and media members covering the league.

For the fifth consecutive season, Wyoming has a linebacker on the All-Mountain West First Team. For the second straight season Wyoming middle linebacker Easton Gibbs was named to the First Team. Gibbs was joined on the First Team by Cowboy offensive tackle Frank Crum, who earned First Team honors for the first time in his career. Wyoming defensive tackle Jordan Bertagnole was voted to the Second Team. It was also Bertagnole’s first All-Conference honor.

Five Cowboys achieved Honorable Mention honors. Those five are: safety Wyett Ekeler, quarterback Andrew Peasley, running back Harrison Waylee, tight end Treyton Welch and wide receiver Wyatt Wieland. It marked the second consecutive season that Peasley and Welch earned Honorable Mention honors. Ekeler, Waylee and Wieland all received Honorable Mention recognition for the first time.

Cowboy Bowl History: The Cowboys are 9-9 all-time in Bowl games dating back to their first contest against Washington & Lee in the 1951 Gator Bowl. Wyoming has won three of their last four bowl games dating back to 2017 and are 3-2 in Bowl Games under head coach Craig Bohl.

It marks the fourth time in the last five trips to a Bowl that Wyoming has played against a team from the MAC. Wyoming owns wins over Central Michigan (37-14 in 2017) and Kent State (5238 in 2021) and fell last season against Ohio in overtime by a score of 30-27.

Against the MAC: The Cowboys are 11-6 all-time against teams from the Mid-American Conference. Since 1996 when the Wyoming Cowboys first played a Mid-American Conference team in Western Michigan, the Cowboys are 11-5 all-time against current teams from the MAC. UW is 5-3 against MAC foes in Laramie, 4-2 on the road and 2-1 at neutral sites. Wyoming fell in overtime last season against Ohio in the Barstool Sports Arizona Bowl 30-27. Wyoming will meet Toledo for the third time, which is tied for the most games against a MAC team with Ohio and Central Michigan.

Forcing Turnovers: The Cowboys head into the bowl game ranked seventh in the nation and second in the mountain West in turnover margin at 0.83. The group also rank No 20 in the nation in turnovers gained with 21, as Wyoming ranks sixth in the nation in fumbles recovered with 11 on the season. Wyoming has 10 interceptions on the season.

Against The Run: The Cowboys have been solid against the run all season allowing 144.6 per game. The Pokes have allowed opponents to rush for under 100 yards in six games this season including three of the last four games. Nevada recorded only 18 rushing yards in the last contest. In the month of November, Wyoming allowed only 76 yards rushing per game.

November Opponent Rushing Nevada- 18 | Hawai’i - 67 | UNLV - 165 | Colorado State - 54 Offense Over Last Two Games: The Cowboy offense has been solid to close out the regular season. The group has averaged 440.5 yards of total offense in those two games with 198.5 yards rushing and 242.0 yards passing. The group has also averaged 22 first downs per game and have scored 42 points per game. Wyoming has scored six rushing scores and had five passing scores in the last two contests.

Ekeler Named MW Defensive Player of the Week: Wyoming safety Wyett Ekeler racked up another Mountain West Defensive Player of the Week honor after Wyoming’s win over Nevada in the regular season finale on Saturday. He was also named MW Defensive Player of the Week following Wyoming’s win over New Mexico. Ekeler, a native of Windsor, Colo. finished the contest with five tackles and 1.5 tackles for loss. He also added an interception and returned it 38-yards or a score breaking five tackles in the process for the first interception for a score since Cam Stone did so against New Mexico in 2022.

Head Coach Craig Bohl to Coach Last Game: University of Wyoming head football coach Craig Bohl announced on Dec. 6 that he is retiring as head coach of the Wyoming Cowboys.

Bohl’s retirement will end his 10-year tenure leading the Cowboys, which is the longest of any head football coach in school history. He will coach the Cowboys through this year’s Barstool Sports Arizona Bowl on Dec. 30 in Tucson, Ariz. Bohl steps away from Wyoming Football after one of the most sustained periods of success in program history, including: more bowl victories (3) and more bowl appearances (6) than any coach in school history; six winning seasons -- second most of any Wyoming coach; and more NFL players developed than at any time in program history.

HOME OF COWBOY FOOTBALL 2023 Marks the 127th Season of Wyoming Football: The 2023 season will

Mick and Susie McMurry High Altitude Performance Center Benefitting All UW StudentAthletes: The University of Wyoming

mark the 127th season of Wyoming Football.

The Cowboys first season was 1893.

Since that first season, there have been only four seasons in which Wyoming has not played football. In 1918, Wyoming did not play any games due to an influenza epidemic. The other three seasons Wyoming did not field a team were 1943, ‘44 and ‘45 during World War II.

Wyoming Football’s All-Time Record: The Wyoming Cowboy Football

program has played a total of 1,194 games in its history. Wyoming is 33 games under .500 all-time (566 wins to 599 losses), and has played 45 more road games than home games in its history (566 home games to 608 road games).

The Cowboys played their 1,000th game on Sept. 6, 2008, against Air Force.

War Memorial Stadium Hosts Its 74th Season in 2023, Wins 250th Game in Stadium History in Border War Victory Over Colorado State in 2021: The 2023 college football season will be

the 74th season of War Memorial Stadium.

The Cowboys won their 250th game in War Memorial Stadium on Nov. 6, 2021, with a 31-17 win over Colorado State.

Wyoming has won 66 percent of its games in War Memorial Stadium.

“The War” first opened on Sept. 16, 1950, with UW recording a 61-13 win over Montana State. War Memorial’s original capacity was 20,000 in 1950. It was expanded to 25,500 in 1970, and the seating was increased to a capacity of 33,500 in 1977.

Following reconstruction of the upper deck on the West side of War Memorial Stadium in the summer of 2004, the new capacity of War Memorial Stadium was 30,514. With the construction of the Wildcatter Stadium Club & Suites in 2009-10, the current capacity is 29,181.

held a Grand Opening for the Mick and Susie McMurry High Altitude Performance Center (HAPC) on Aug. 18, 2018. The HAPC is one of the preeminent athletic facilities in the country. It will add 71,000 square feet of new space and will expand the current Curtis and Marian Rochelle Athletics Center to over 118,000 square feet.

“A successful athletics program generates excitement,” Wyoming Gov. Matt Mead said in when fundraising was announced. “This leads to better student recruitment, better alumni support and stronger schools. I recommended $20 million in matching funds for the expansion and renovation of the Rochelle Athletics Center for these reasons. I thank Marian H. Rochelle for this generous gift and her continued support of the University of Wyoming.”

The project is funded by $24 million in private donations that were raised by UW Athletics and the UW Foundation and $20 million in state matching approved by Gov. Mead and the Legislature.

Overwhelming interest by donors—55 total—saw the fundraising efforts completed ahead of schedule. Marian Rochelle and her family donated $3 million as a leadership gift to kick off the project, and the combined gifts of Marian Rochelle and her daughter April Brimmer Kunz have since grown to $4.1 million.

“Mick and Susie McMurry’s generosity and their commitment to making the University of Wyoming a premier university in both athletics and academics will be symbolized by the High Altitude Performance Center that will bear their name,” says Tom Burman, UW athletics director.

“We also want to thank Marian Rochelle and April Brimmer Kunz for their generous lead gift for this project. And we of course want to thank Governor Mead and the members of the Wyoming State Legislature for making funds available to match the private funds that we raised for this facility.

“The High Altitude Performance Center will be one of the best facilities of its kind in all of college athletics. It will provide the student-athletes in all of our sports the athletic training resources to compete with the best in the nation, and it will provide our academic counseling unit exceptional resources to help our student-athletes achieve their educational and career goals.”

“The Mick and Susie McMurry High Altitude Performance Center will redefine Cowboy football,” says UW Head Football Coach Craig Bohl. “This facility will play a critical role in our vision of recruiting to what we call the Wyoming Profile. That recruiting effort involves attracting a young man who is committed to earning a meaningful degree from an outstanding academic institution and has a laser-like focus to win Mountain West Conference championships. The High Altitude Performance Center will put us at the top of the league in terms of training and academic facilities, which is where we also aspire to be on the field of competition.”

The new facility will focus on the unique advantages of training at an altitude of 7,220 feet.

From strength and conditioning training, to nutrition, to recovery and rehabilitation services following injuries, the HAPC will serve the needs of all of Wyoming’s 400-plus student-athletes.

The facility’s design will stay true to the architectural tradition of iconic sandstone buildings featured throughout the UW campus.

Located just beyond the north end zone, the High Altitude Performance Center will enhance the aesthetics of War Memorial Stadium. Due to its location, the HAPC will be highly visible for national television audiences. It will show the commitment that the state of Wyoming has in ensuring Wyoming Athletics continues to successfully compete at the NCAA Division I level -- the highest level of competition in college sports.

The ground level of the HAPC will house both an Olympic sport weight-training area and a separate strength and conditioning center for the Cowboy football team that will overlook Jonah Field. Also on the first floor will be a sports medicine area that will nearly double the size of its previous space, allowing for more effective and efficient treatment of UW student-athletes. The football locker room, like the football strength and conditioning area, will overlook the field and will include a player lounge.

The second floor will include an expansive academic center to house academic counselors, tutoring areas and a computer lab, as well as enhanced and renovated football offices, meeting rooms, a new recruiting lounge and the nutrition center/training table. The theater-style team meeting room will span both the first and second floors.

Construction on the project will begin after the conclusion of the 2016 Cowboy football season. It is estimated that the project will take 18-20 months to complete.

The original Curtis and Marian Rochelle Athletics Center was opened in 2001 at a total cost of $9.4 million. Fundraising for the RAC included a historic $4.2 million gift from the Rochelles, which was the largest donation in school history at the time. A total of 167 donors contributed to the original RAC.

HEAD COACH CRAIG BOHL Head Coach Craig Bohl Craig Bohl will enter his 10th season leading the University of Wyoming Football program in 2023 and with his 10th season will become the longest tenured head football coach in school history. He was previously tied with former Cowboy head coaches John Corbett (1915-23) and Lloyd Eaton (1962-70), who each served nine seasons as head coach of the Cowboys. The 2023 season will be Bohl’s 21st as a head coach at the collegiate level. During the past nine seasons under the direction of Bohl, Wyoming Football has enjoyed a level of excellence that has never been reached in the rich history of Cowboy Football.

Bohl and his coaching staff became the first Wyoming Football staff to lead UW to three straight bowl victories -- the 2017 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, the 2019 NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl and the 2021 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl.

He and his staff are the only football staff in Wyoming history to lead five different teams to bowl appearances. Wyoming’s 2022 appearance in the Barstool Sports Arizona Bowl marked the fifth time in seven seasons (2016, ‘17, ‘19, ‘21 and ‘22) that Bohl has guided the Cowboys to a bowl bid, which is a first in school history. The Cowboys earned bowl eligibility a sixth time in the 2018 season.

In terms of success, the Cowboys have become regular contenders in the race for the Mountain West Conference title. The Pokes concluded the 2022 season in second place in the Mountain Division. UW also finished second in its division in 2017. In 2016, Wyoming won the Mountain Division and hosted the 2016 Mountain West Championship Game by virtue of being the highest ranked team in the conference at the time of the championship game. UW has enjoyed five winning seasons in the seven seasons since 2016, winning eight games in 2016, ‘17 and ‘19 and recording seven wins in 2021 and ‘22.

Bohl served as President of the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) for the 2022 college football season, having been elected as President at the 2022 AFCA Convention. He also served on the AFCA Board of Trustees. Bohl was appointed to the 13-member NCAA Division I Football Competition Committee in January of 2017 and has served on the NCAA Division I Football Oversight Committee.

During Bohl’s tenure, Wyoming has had more former Cowboys on NFL rosters than at any other period in Wyoming history. In terms of NFL Draft picks, UW’s most recent was linebacker Chad Muma, who was selected as the 6th pick in the 3rd round of the 2022 NFL Draft by the Jacksonville Jaguars. Muma became the eighth Wyoming Cowboy to be selected in the NFL Draft during the first eight seasons Bohl was the head coach at Wyoming. The previous NFL Draft picks during the Bohl era include: 2015 Mark Nzeocha, LB (Dallas Cowboys, 7th Round, 19th Pick); 2017 Brian Hill, RB (Atlanta Falcons, 5th Round 12th Pick); 2017 Chase Roullier, C (Washington Commanders, 6th Round 15th Pick); 2018 Josh Allen, QB (Buffalo Bills, 1st Round, 7th Pick); 2019 Marcus Epps, S (Minnesota Vikings, 6th Round, 18th Pick); 2020 Logan Wilson, LB (Cincinnati Bengals, 3rd Round, 1st Pick); and 2020 Cassh Maluia, LB (New England Patriots, 6th Round, 25th Pick).

Wyoming has had at least one player selected in six of the last eight NFL Drafts NFL Drafts (2015, ‘17, ‘18, ‘19, ‘20 and ‘22) and twice had two players taken in the same draft (2017 and 2020). Three of Bohl’s Cowboys have been part of Super Bowl Teams (Epps, Philadelphia Eagles’ Super Bowl LVII team; Wilson, Cincinnati Bengals’ Super Bowl LVI team; and Tyler Hall, CB, L.A. Rams’ Super Bowl LVI Champions).

The success that Cowboy Football has enjoyed and the excitement generated around the program under Bohl’s direction is just what UW Athletics Director Tom Burman had hoped for when he hired Bohl on Dec. 8, 2013.

When Bohl was hired as head football coach at Wyoming, he was open in saying that he wanted to bring Cowboy Football back to a place of national prominence.

The excitement surrounding Wyoming Football included the extensive coverage of former Cowboy quarterback Josh Allen, who was selected as the No. 7 overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft by the Buffalo Bills. That marked the highest selection by a Wyoming Cowboy in the history of the program and was the second highest selection by a Mountain West player since Utah’s Alex Smith was selected No. 1 in 2005 by the San Francisco 49ers. Leading up to Allen being drafted, Wyoming’s Pro Day was covered live by both ESPN and the NFL Network. Beginning with the 2017 football season through the 2018 NFL Draft, media coverage of Wyoming Football for that time period was estimated by Joyce Julius & Associates at over $159 million.

Cowboy linebackers Wilson (in 2019) and Muma (in 2021) were each one of only six national finalists for the 2019 and 2021 Butkus Awards, respectively. The Butkus Award honors the nation’s top collegiate linebacker. Wilson earned multiple All-America honors, including being named a First Team All-American by Pro Football Focus, Second Team by USA Today and Third Team by the Associated Press. Muma was named a Second Team All-American by both the Walter Camp Football Foundation and Pro Football Focus, while earning Third Team All-America honors from the Associated Press.

In 2018, Wyoming had two finalists for national awards for the first time in program history. Place-kicker Cooper Rothe was one of three national finalists for the Lou Groza Collegiate Place-Kicker Award, that honors the nation’s top collegiate place-kicker each year. Free safety Marcus Epps was one of only three national finalists for the Burlsworth Trophy, which is awarded to the most outstanding football player in America who began his career as a walk-on. Epps went on to be drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL Draft.

A total of four Cowboys have earned All-America honors during Bohl’s tenure. Two Cowboys earned All-America honors in 2016 in running back Brian Hill (Third Team by College Sports Madness), and center Chase Roullier (Second Team by USA Today). They joined linebackers Wilson in 2019 and Muma in 2021 in being selected as All-Americans..

During Bohl’s tenure as Wyoming’s head coach, he has had a freshman earn Freshman All-America honors from the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) five times. The most recent Cowboy freshman to receive the honor was place-kicker John Hoyland in 2020. The other four Pokes coached by Bohl to be named Freshman All-Americans by the FWAA were: safety Andrew Wingard (2015), linebacker Logan Wilson (2016), center Keegan Cryder (2018) and defensive end Solomon Byrd (2019).

College Football News (CFN) named offensive guard Emmanuel Pregnon a Second Team Freshman All-American in 2022 and defensive end Braden Siders joined him as a CFN Honorable Mention selection.

The Wyoming Cowboys entered the 2022 college football season as the fourth youngest team in the country. But given that, the Cowboys went on to record a 7-6 record, finish second in the Mountain West Conference Mountain Division and earn a spot in the Barstool Sports Arizona Bowl. Along the way the ‘22 Pokes defeated rivals Air Force, Colorado State, Hawai’i, Utah State and American Athletic Conference member Tulsa.

The 2021 season saw the Cowboys score its most points ever in a bowl game in a dominant 52-38 win over Kent State. The Cowboy rushing attack once again ranked among the best in the nation at No. 20, and the Wyoming pass defense ranked No. 12 in the country in fewest passing yards allowed.

In 2016, Bohl’s team defeated two Top 25 ranked opponents, was named the National Team of the Week by the Football Writers Association of America (FWAA) for one of those wins and received votes itself in the national polls. Wyoming also captured the Mountain Division title of the Mountain West Conference, earned the right to host the 2016 MW Football Championship Game as the highest ranked team in the conference and was invited to the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl.

His Cowboys ended the year with an 8-6 record and featured one of the NCAA’s top scoring offenses, averaging 35.9 points per game to rank No. 25 in the nation. Bohl was recognized for his turnaround of Cowboy Football by being named the 2016 Mountain West Conference Coach of the Year in voting by conference head coaches and media.

Bohl came to Wyoming after building a national power at North Dakota State as a head coach for 11 seasons from 2003-13. His teams won three consecutive National Championships at the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) level in 2011, ‘12 and ‘13. NDSU became only the second FCS school in NCAA history to win three consecutive national football titles, tied the FCS record for consecutive wins (24 from 2011-13) and became the first undefeated FCS National Champion since 1996.

In 2012 and ‘13, Bohl received both The Sports Network Eddie Robinson FCS National Coach of the Year Award and the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) FCS National Coach of the Year Award. He became the first coach in the first 27 years of the Eddie Robinson Award to win it in consecutive seasons. In 2013, he also received the Liberty Mutual FCS Coach of the Year Award, which is presented in partnership with the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame. His other National Coach of the Year honor came in 2006, when he was recognized by the Football Gazette as the FCS National Coach of the Year and the Northwest Region Coach of the Year.

In addition to his 20 years of experience as a head coach, Bohl has 19 years of experience as a full-time assistant coach at the collegiate level and three seasons as a graduate assistant. His last eight years as an assistant coach were spent at his alma mater Nebraska. He was the linebackers coach under head coach Tom Osborne for five of those seasons and was part of the 1995 and ‘97 Nebraska National Championship teams.

Born July 27, 1958, Bohl will be 65 years old when the 2023 season kicks off. He earned his bachelor’s degree in business administration from Nebraska in 1982.

Bohl’s family includes wife Leia, and children Mallory and Morgan, Aaron and Elijah.

About Toledo: The Toledo Rockets will bring an 11-2 record into this year’s Barstool Sports

Arizona Bowl. Toledo’s only two losses of the season came in their season opener at Big Ten member Illinois where they lost by two points, 30-28, to the Illini, and in their most recent game in the Mid-American Championship Game, where they lost, 14-23, to Miami of Ohio. In between those two losses, the Rockets won 11 consecutive games and rose to a high ranking of No. 23 in the Associate Press poll in the two weeks prior to the MAC Championship Game.

Toledo has achieved their 11-2 record by being very effective on both the offensive and defensive sides of the ball. The Rockets rank No. 1 in the MAC and No. 34 in the FBS in total offense (averaging 426.2 yards per game) and rank No. 6 in the MAC and No. 30 in the FBS in total defense (allowing opponents only 330.1 yards per game). In terms of scoring offense and scoring defense, Toledo ranks No. 1 in the MAC and No. 28 in the FBS in scoring offense (scoring 33.6 points per game) and is No. 3 in the MAC and No. 25 in the FBS in scoring defense (allowing opponents only 20.6 points per game).

Individually, running back Peny Boone has rushed for exactly 1,400 yards through 13 games this season to rank No. 1 in the MAC and No. 6 among FBS players. His average of 107.7 rushing yards per game also leads the MAC and ranks No. 11 in the nation. Toledo quarterback Dequan Finn is the team’s second leading rusher, with 563 rushing yards. Finn has thrown for 2,657 yards, 22 touchdowns and only nine interceptions to account for 3,220 yards of total offense. His pergame average of 247.7 yards of total offense also led the MAC. His 22 passing TDs, seven rushing touchdowns and three two-point passing conversions totaled 180 points responsible, ranking No. 1 in the MAC and No. 21 in the nation. Toledo has two receivers with nearly identical stats. Jerjuan Newton has caught 47 passes for 622 yards and nine receiving touchdowns. Junior Vandeross III has 44 receptions for 611 yards and four receiving TDs. Defensively, the Rockets are led by linebackers Dallas Gant (110 total tackles, 8.5 tackles per game) and Daniel Bolden (85 total tackles, 6.5 tackles per game).

Toledo did play one other Mountain West Conference school this season. The Rockets defeated San Jose State, 21-17, on Sept. 16 in Toledo.

Head Coach Jason Candle: Jason Candle is in his eighth full season as head coach at

Toledo. During his eight seasons as head coach (2016-23), Candle’s teams have won two MAC Championships (2017 and ‘22) and three MAC West Division titles (2017, ‘22 and ‘23). He has led the Rockets to six bowl games and two bowl championships, with one of those bowl championships coming in his first game as head coach in the final game of the 2015 season. This year’s appearance in the Barstool Sports Arizona Bowl will be his seventh bowl appearance as a head coach. Over his eight-year span as head coach, Toledo has won more games, 65, than any other MAC team. Prior to taking over as head coach in 2016, he was an assistant coach and offensive coordinator for Toledo for seven seasons from 2009-15. Since 2017, nine of Candle’s players have been selected in the NFL Draft. Prior to coming to Toledo, Candle coached at his alma mater, the University of Mount Union in Ohio, from 2002-08 and was part of four NCAA Division III National Championships and two National Runner-up finishes. He is the 27th head coach in Toledo Football history.

most recent overtime game the Cowboys played was against Texas Tech on Sept. 2. The Cowboys downed the Red Raiders 35-33 in double overtime.

TEXAS TECH RECAP RECAP: The Wyoming Cowboys sealed one of the most

thrilling wins in program history Saturday night in Laramie as they scored the winning two-point conversion in the second overtime to defeat Texas Tech, which entered the game ranked No. 24 in the nation in the Coaches Poll.

“That’s a cowboy-tough win,” UW head coach Craig Bohl said postgame. “Andrew Peasley, he’s as tough as boot leather. Hats off to Texas Tech. Coach McGuire is doing a great job. He’s a perfect fit. Both he and I knew it would be a tight ballgame. I’m really proud of our football team. I think our maturity showed because we did not start fast. Every checkpoint I talked about in the pregame meal about what we needed to do, it’s 17-0 and I thought, “Did these guys even listen to that?” There was certainly an amount of frustration, but the players worked through those mistakes and good things started to happen. Texas Tech is ranked, and they deserved to be ranked. We beat a good football team tonight. We have passionate fans. They were on pins and needles because they bleed brown and gold. It was neat to see our players enjoy all the fans on the field.”

The Cowboys scored their winning touchdown in the second overtime on a fourth and seven from the Texas Tech 11-yard line. Cowboy quarterback Andrew Peasley faced a blitzing Red Raider but calmly found tight end John Michael Gyllenborg across the middle for the touchdown to tie the game at 33-33.

The Cowboy defense had already denied Texas Tech on their two-point conversion in the second overtime. The Cowboys then turned to sophomore running back Sam Scott. Peasley handed off to Scott who burst through the line and into the end zone to give the Cowboys their 35-33 victory.

It was the first win for the Pokes over a Top 25 team since the 2016 season. In 2016, Wyoming defeated San Diego State on Nov. 19 in Laramie by a score of 34-33. The Aztecs were ranked 24th in the Associated Press poll and 25th in the Coaches poll at the time. Earlier in the 2016 season, the Cowboys defeated Boise State on Oct. 29 by a 30-28 score. The Broncos were ranked 13th in both national polls at the time.

“This is the type of team we have,” Bohl said. “And that started back after the bowl game. You don’t come up with these kind of wins without great chemistry because what occurs when you don’t have great maturity or great chemistry and you’re down like that, I’ve seen some ugly things get said on the sidelines and finger points.

PORTLAND STATE RECAP RECAP: The Wyoming Cowboys (2-0 overall) used three

scores from the air in a 31-17 win over Portland State (0-2 overall) on Saturday afternoon in War Memorial Stadium. The Wyoming defense also recorded nine tackles for loss including four sacks on their way to the victory.

“I’m pleased that we won the game,” UW head coach Craig Bohl said. “I knew we had much more of challenge than people on the outside felt. We certainly did some good things, but there are some things we can learn from. It’ll be a great opportunity for us to fix some things. We are 2-0. Portland State fought and I knew they would. I’ve been an FCS coach and those guys, they got good players. Coach Barnum does a good job, and we are pleased we won.”

Wide receiver Ayir Asante added a pair of touchdowns, the first of his career with the Brown and Gold in the victory. He had 78 yards receiving on the two catches including one for 64 yards, the longest since the 2018 season. Quarterback Andrew Peasley was 11-of-16 passing with a career-high three touchdown passes and one interception. Wide receiver Wyatt Wieland led the team with three catches for 50 yards and a score. Running back Sam Scott added a career-high 70 yards rushing on 11 carries. John Hoyland tied a career-high with a 56-yard field goal in the contest and from that spot this season.

“I think (Asante) can have a big impact,” Bohl said, “He’s really smooth. He catches the ball well. He has really good speed. He’s one of the fastest players on the team.

John Hoyland is coming up big again and again. Two 56-yarders is really impressive.”

The Wyoming defense was paced by Nickel Wrook Brown and linebacker Easton Gibbs with eight tackles. Safeties Wyett Ekeler and Isaac White added seven tackles with Ekeler adding an interception for the second of his career.

The interior of the defensive line had a strong day with Jordan Bertagnole adding seven tackles with a sack and Cole Godbout adding seix tackles with 2.5 tackles for loss and 1.5 sacks, giving him 24 tackles for loss for his career, which moved him into a tie for ninth in school history with Ward Dobbs.

The Wyoming offense recorded 371 yards of total offense on the day with 201 passing and 170 on the ground.

Portland State had 344 yards of total offense with 254 passing and 90 on the ground. The Cowboy offense averaged 12.6 yards per passing completion with the Vikings adding 6.5 per catch.

TEXAS RECAP RECAP: The Wyoming Cowboys gave everything the fourth-

ranked Texas Longhorns could handle but fell just short by a score of 31-10 on Saturday evening in Darrell K Royal Stadium in Austin, Texas. The Pokes and Longhorns were tied going into the fourth as Wyoming held Texas to only 316 yards of total offense, nearly 150 less than their win at Alabama last week.

“Hats off to Texas,” head coach Craig Bohl said. “Our plan was to take them into the fourth quarter and hopefully come up with a couple plays. I think we certainly did that, but on the flip side, they came up with some plays. I thought our guys came into an imposing environment, and the moment was not too big. I thought our coaches came up with a good game plan to make them do some things they didn’t want to do.”

The Pokes were paced by running back Harrison Waylee, who had 110 yards in his first 100-yard rushing game for the Cowboys. It is the ninth of his career after recording eight at Northern Illinois. He recorded a 62-yard touchdown in the contest.

Quarterback Evan Svoboda made his first career start, going 17-of-28 passing for 136 yards. Wide receiver Wyatt Wieland recorded a career-high eight catches for 62 yards.

APP STATE RECAP RECAP: The Wyoming Cowboys once again showed

how much heart they have as they came back from a 12-point deficit (19-7) early in the fourth quarter to rally for a 22-19 victory over Appalachian State. The Cowboys improved to 3-1 on the season with the win.

At the 11:42 mark of the fourth quarter, Appalachian State cornerback Tyrek Funderburk intercepted a Wyoming pass and returned it 18 yards to give the Mountaineers a 19-7 lead and things looked bleak for Wyoming.

But the Cowboy players’ resolve would show on the very next play from scrimmage. Starting their next possession at their own 25-yard line, Cowboy quarterback Andrew Peasley handed the ball off to running back Harrison Waylee, who broke through the left side of the Wyoming offensive line and went 75 yards untouched to put the Pokes right back in the game at 19-14 with 11:31 remaining in the game.

Appalachian State then took the ball on its next possession and possessed the ball for 18 plays and nine minutes and 32 seconds driving down to the Wyoming 29-yard line where the Mountaineers set up for a 47yard field goal to try to extend their lead. But with only 2:02 remaining the Cowboys once again showed their resolve. The defense forced pressure up the middle on the FG attempt as defensive end DeVonne Harris blocked the kick and UW cornerback Jakorey Hawkins picked up the blocked kick and returned it 62 yards for an amazing touchdown to give Wyoming a 20-19 lead. The Cowboys then set up for a two-point conversion to try and stretch the lead to three points. Peasley would connect with tight end John Michael Gyllenborg on a short pass and Gyllenborg forced his way into the end zone for a 22-19 Wyoming advantage. It was the first time in the history of Wyoming Football that the Cowboys scored a touchdown off a blocked field goal.

After the two-point conversion, only 1:52 remained. Appalachian State needed a field goal to tie the game. The Mountaineers would pick up four first downs and drive from their own 31-yard line down to the Wyoming 20 when they attempted one more pass on a first down play.

But under pressure from Cowboy defensive tackle Jordan Bertagnole, App State quarterback Joey Aguilar threw over the middle where UW nickel back Wrook Brown intercepted the pass at the Wyoming six-yard line with only 12 seconds remaining to seal the 22-19 win.

“Just when I think I’ve seen it all in 40 years, I have not seen it all,” said Wyoming head coach Craig Bohl. “Obviously, we are really excited about the win and the resolve of our players and the belief. That’s outstanding. We need to build off this.

“Appalachian State is a really good football program and a really good team. We did not play up to our capabilities, particularly on offense, for the majority of the game.

“This team believes in one another. They’re poised. They keep playing hard. I’ve seen other teams start to fracture, and that was not the case here. We beat a really good football team in an unconventional way, and we are going to take it. We are celebrating the win. We have a lot of work to do, but I’m going to enjoy tonight.”

NEW MEXICO RECAP RECAP: Big plays on offense, defense and special teams fueled the Wyoming Cowboys to their fourth win of the season on Saturday as the Pokes came away with a 35-26 home win over New Mexico on Homecoming. The win was also the Mountain West opener for the Cowboys and improved UW’s season record to 4-1 overall and 1-0 in the Mountain West Conference. New Mexico fell to 2-3 and 0-1.

“Conference play is here, and we knew it was going to be a challenging game,” said Wyoming head coach Craig Bohl.

“Coach (Danny) Gonzales does a great job. Their team is getting better.

“There were some explosive plays we made today, which I was really pleased with. I thought Andrew (Peasley) had one of his better games. His ability to put us in and out of plays was special. Harrison (Waylee) had a couple big runs.

“Andrew’s competency has improved, and we did a good job protecting him today. Andrew, last week played, but his arm strength wasn’t 100 percent. This week his shoulder was 100 percent healed, which is why you saw us run him some and that had an impact on his throws, as well.”

“The game had a lot of ebbs and flows, and so we are going to take this win starting off conference play at 1-0. I was really concerned coming into this game. We’ve always had a hard time matching up with these guys, and that was no different today.

“Thank the lord for John Hoyland. He’s got ice running through his veins.”

The Cowboy offense exploded for eight “chunk” plays, including five rushing plays of 10 or more yards and three passing plays of 15 or more yards. UW running back Harrison Waylee led the Pokes in explosive plays with runs of 17, 18, 46 and 66 yards.

His 46-yard dash went for a touchdown. Cowboy quarterback Andrew Peasley completed three explosive pass plays of 22 yards to tight end Treyton Welch, 25 yards to tight end John Michael Gyllenborg and 66 yards to wide receiver Ayir Asante.

The 66-yarder went for a touchdown. The pass play to Asante started at the Wyoming 34-yard line, Peasley threw a bubble screen behind the line of scrimmage as Asante caught the ball on the far sideline at the Wyoming 30. Asante then cut back across the field evading tacklers along the way and ended up running down the near sideline for the TD. Peasley added a 15-yard run of his own for Wyoming’s other explosive run on the day.

“When (Ayir) Asante cut back, I wasn’t crazy about that,” said Bohl. “I thought to myself, ‘he’s cutting back too much, I don’t want him doing that,’ and then when he broke free I said, “oh yeah, I do want him doing that.’ and then he scored the touchdown.”

On defense, Wyoming also made its share of big plays, forcing two turnovers. Cowboy free safety Wyett Ekeler forced a fumble with less than 30 seconds remaining in the first half.

New Mexico had driven down to the Wyoming 26-yard line.

On a second and 10 at the 26, Ekeler came free on a safety blitz and sacked UNM quarterback Dylan Hopkins. As Ekeler made the sack, he knocked the ball loose, picked it up at the Wyoming 37-yard line and returned it to the Wyoming 45 to preserve a 12-9 halftime lead for the Pokes. On New Mexico’s first possession of the third quarter, Cowboy nickel back Wrook Brown intercepted Hopkins at the Wyoming 45-yard line.

Brown returned the interception nine yards to the New Mexico 46. That interception set up Waylee’s 46-yard TD run on the very next play. It was Brown’s third interception of the season to lead Wyoming in that category.

FRESNO STATE RECAP RECAP: The Wyoming Cowboys once again showed they are one of the top teams in the Mountain West Conference and the nation as they captured a second win this season over a Top 25 ranked team, defeating No. 24 ranked Fresno State, 24-19, in Laramie on a nationally-televised game on FOX. Earlier this season, the Pokes opened the season with a 35-33 double overtime home win over then No. 24 ranked Texas Tech. The Cowboys improved to 5-1 overall and 2-0 in the Mountain West. Fresno State fell to 5-1 and 1-1 in the conference.

“I thought Fresno State came back and made some good adjustments in the second half. A heckuva a football game. We beat a good team and put ourselves in a good position moving forward.

“I thought Andrew (Peasley) was in the zone in the first half,” said University of Wyoming head coach Craig Bohl. “Obviously, our receivers were also making big plays. We were very productive offensively, and we knew we were going to need every one of those points.

“We were able to control the clock for the most part, and I was proud of our defense to hold Fresno State to a field goal in the first half.”

Fresno St.

Wyoming entered the week receiving votes in the AFCA Coaches Poll. By defeating Fresno State, the Pokes ended the Bulldogs’ 14-game winning streak dating back to last season. That winning streak was second only to defending National Champion Georgia’s current 23-game winning streak. It also marked the first time that Wyoming has defeated two Top 25 ranked teams in the same season since 2016 when Wyoming defeated then No. 13 ranked Boise State and then No. 24 ranked San Diego State both in Laramie. The Cowboys extended their own home winning streak to five games this season.

#RideForTheBrand

Peasley completed 19 of 27 passes (70.4 percent) in the game for 183 yards, 3 touchdowns and 0 interceptions. He also added 25 rushing yards for 208 yards of total offense. Tight end Treyton Welch led the Cowboys in receiving with six catches for 74 yards and 1 TD. Wide receiver Wyatt Wieland caught five passes for 50 yards and 2 touchdowns. Running back Harrison Waylee carried the ball 22 times for 83 yards. Linebacker Shae Suiaunoa led the Cowboy defenders with 12 tackles and one sack. Fellow linebacker Easton Gibbs recorded eight tackles and 0.5 sacks, and nose tackle Godbout had four tackles and a 0.5 sacks to go with his interception.

Wyoming’s defense set the tone early against Fresno State.

After UW won the opening coin toss and deferred to the second half. The Cowboy defense came out aggressive. Fresno State entered the game having gone 40 consecutive offensive drives without a three-and-out series. The Cowboy offense not only forced a three-and-out on the first Bulldog offensive series, but they held FS to three-and-outs on its first two offensive possessions. Fresno State had also scored in 25 consecutive quarters, heading into Saturday’s game, but the UW defense shut out the Bulldogs in the first quarter.

AIR FORCE RECAP RECAP: In another game that would go down to the wire, it

looked like the Wyoming Cowboys would once again find a way to win in their magical 2023 season. But in the end, the Air Force Falcons prevailed in a 34-27 home win over the Cowboys. It was Wyoming’s first Mountain West loss of the season and only their second loss overall to fall to 5-2 and 2-1 in the Mountain West Conference. Air Force improved to 6-0 overall and 4-0 in conference play. Both teams entered Saturday’s game receiving votes in both the Associated Press media poll and AFCA Coaches poll.

“We got off to a good start in the first half, but Air Force came back and made more plays than we did in the second half,” said Wyoming head coach Craig Bohl. “We got beat by a good football team tonight.

“It was a classic game. There certainly were some ebbs and flows and things we can do better, but I don’t want to take anything away from Air Force. They played physical, our guys battled in there and hung in there, and we had an opportunity to win and didn’t get it done.

“There are a lot of things that are disappointing. I’m going to encourage (Hoyland). I knew coming in, we had two classic teams vying for it. What we have to do is make some corrections and take advantage of this bye week. We are a beat-up football team. Coming into this game I was scared to death that we are going to have to play a physical game, and we certainly did. But we’ll lick our wounds and bounce back.”

“I thought (Peasley) played really well,” said Bohl. “He made some great plays -- obviously the fourth-down touchdown. He was gutting things out. I was encouraged by Andrew.

“We have to get refreshed. We’ve gone through a gauntlet.

We have to bounce back. Those guys are hurting in the locker room, and I’m hurting too.

“One of our goals is to win the conference championship. The winner of this game would put themselves in the catbird seat, so now you have to count on someone else. But what we’ve got to do is we’ve got to correct things. The effort was there, but the execution wasn’t.”

BOISE STATE RECAP RECAP: After trailing by only one possession, 15-7, at halftime, the Wyoming Cowboys were unable to mount a second-half comeback on way to a 32-7 road loss at Boise State on Saturday.

It was only Wyoming’s third loss of the season. UW’s other two losses came on the road against then No. 4 ranked Texas, 31-10, and at Air Force, 34-27, when both the Cowboys and Falcons were receiving votes in the national polls. After Saturday’s loss, Wyoming is now 5-3 overall this season and is 2-2 in the Mountain West. Boise State is now 4-4 overall and 2-2 in the conference.

The Cowboys were unable to generate any scoring threats in the second half, while Boise State would add two touchdowns and a field goal to stretch its 15-7 halftime lead to a final score of 32-7.

For only the second time this season, Wyoming was shutout in a half.

The first shutout came in the second half against Fresno State on Oct. 7, but Wyoming had built a 24-7 halftime lead over the Bulldogs on way to a 24-19 home win. The Cowboys seven points against Boise State on Saturday were their lowest point total of the season.

“It was really tough,” said Bohl. “They (Boise State) played particularly well. I don’t want to take anything away from Boise, I thought they had a really good game plan. They out-coached us and then sometimes things just go right for the other team. I don’t know how many times I saw balls punted inside the five-yard line tonight and sometimes it’s just not your day.

“I think Boise is a good team. They’re a hungry team. I told our guys when they (Boise State) play on the blue (turf) they’re going to play really hard defending their turf. They certainly did.

“Our challenge is we have to take a critical look at what we’re coaching as far as our schemes in all three phases (offense, defense and special teams) and what players are out there. We’re going to have a big challenge getting ready to play Colorado State this next week on a short week on Friday.”

COLORADO STATE RECAP RECAP: It was another one for the ages in the 115th Edi-

tion of the Border War between the Wyoming Cowboys and Colorado State Rams on Friday night in Laramie as the Cowboys came away with a 24-15 victory over the Rams.

It was the third consecutive win in the series for Wyoming and the seventh UW win in the last eight Border War meetings, earning the Cowboys the right to retain the Bronze Boot traveling trophy in Wyoming for another year. UW improved to 6-3 overall for the 2023 season and are now 3-2 in the Mountain West this season. Colorado State is 3-6 overall and 1-4 in MW play.

Wyoming’s sixth win of the season has earned the Cowboys bowl eligibility for the seventh time in the last eight seasons.

Since the 2016 season, Wyoming has earned bowl eligibility seven times. The only season UW did not earn bowl eligibility during that span was the COVID-shortened season of 2020.

Friday night’s victory also kept the Pokes’ home record at a perfect 6-0 this season, with one home game remaining on Nov. 18 vs. Hawai’i. The home-field advantage was evident Friday night as 27,905 Wyoming fans showed up for the largest home crowd of the season and the largest since the 2019 season.

Wyoming never trailed in the game, taking a 3-0 lead at the end of the first quarter, leading 10-7 at halftime, holding a 24-7 lead at the end of three and finishing with a 24-15 final score.

The Cowboys came out with a great all-around performance versus their rival Colorado State, and head coach Craig Bohl was very pleased with how his team played.

“We certainly responded tonight,” said Bohl. “This is always such an important game and you can throw the records out. I want to say kudos to our fans. They were unbelievable. It was a great atmosphere, a big-time atmosphere and our players fed off of that.”

“It was certainly special,” said Bohl. “Gunner has gone through so much and he hails from Denver. To score that touchdown was great. I know Coach (Tim) Polasek was choked up, and I thought it was a great play by him.”

UNLV RECAP RECAP: It was a game with everything on the line as both the Wyoming Cowboys and UNLV Rebels entered Friday night’s game at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas looking to keep their hopes alive to play in this year’s Mountain West Championship Game. Wyoming entered the game with a 6-3 overall record and a 3-2 Mountain West mark. UNLV brought a 7-2 overall record and a 4-1 conference record into the game. When the game came to an end, UNLV had prevailed with a 34-14 home win over the Cowboys and the Rebels had improved their record to 8-2 and 5-1. Wyoming fell to 6-4 and 3-3 in the Mountain West.

The game was one of streaks. UNLV came out of the gate fast, building a 21-0 lead at the end of the first quarter. But Wyoming put on a streak of its own, scoring 14 consecutive points in the second quarter to narrow the lead to 21-14. On its final possession of the first half, the Pokes drove all the way down to the UNLV 10-yard line, but UNLV would halt the potential game-tying drive by Wyoming with an interception at the Rebel three-yard line just as the half was expiring.

Wyoming quarterback Andrew Peasley played an outstanding game in spite of being under pressure for much of the night.

He completed 11 of 22 passes for 144 yards and was Wyoming’s leading rusher with 69 rushing yards to account for 213 yards of total offense. He also scored the Cowboys’ first touchdown on a 32-yard TD run. He threw one interception and was sacked three times for -19 yards. Running back Harrison Waylee carried the ball eight times for 29 yards, and fellow running back Sam Scott also had eight carries for 20 yards. Waylee didn’t play in the first quarter. When asked after the game, Bohl said he set Waylee out the first quarter for a violation of team rules.

Wide receiver Wyatt Wieland caught a team high five passes for 72 yards and scored Wyoming’s other touchdown on a one-yard run. Tight end Treyton Welch caught three passes for 50 yards.

Wide receiver Will Pelissier caught two passes for 15 yards, and tight end John Michael Gyllenborg had one catch for 28 yards.

The Cowboy defense was led by defensive tackle Jordan Bertagnole and linebacker Easton Gibbs, who each had nine tackles.

Linebacker Shae Suiaunoa added seven tackles, while safety Isaac White was credited with six. Seven other Cowboys each had five tackles.

“We came up against a good football team,” said Wyoming head coach Craig Bohl after the game. “We came out sluggish. I had challenged our team before the game to make sure we were set and ready to go. It was obvious that some guys weren’t. We fought back and made it somewhat close, but we couldn’t finish it off.

“We had some guys cramp up, which is befuddling to me, but nonetheless they cramped up. We had some other guys get banged up, but it’s late in the year and when the next guy gets their opportunity to play they’ve got to take advantage of that opportunity.”

The second half would see the Rebels add a third quarter touchdown, while the Cowboys would miss their one scoring opportunity on a 52-yard field goal attempt. UNLV would add two fourth-quarter field goals to make the final score 34-14.

“UNLV is a good team. We knew that coming in. It was a disappointing loss, but we got beat by a good football team. Barry (Odom) has done a good job of mixing in the remainder of the squad he inherited and then bringing in some transfers. We didn’t make some plays when we needed to make them.

HAWAII RECAP RECAP: An explosive first half by Wyoming’s offense and

a smothering Cowboy defense fueled a 42-9 victory for the Wyoming Cowboys over Hawai’i in the final home game of the 2023 season. Wyoming scored five touchdowns on its first six possessions of the first half, while the Poke defense shutout the Rainbow Warriors in the first half to build a 35-0 halftime lead.

Wyoming’s five first-half scoring drives included numerous big plays as the Cowboys’ scoring drives consisted of 3 plays for 75 yards, 1 play for 89 yards, 6 plays for 69 yards, 4 plays for 66 yards and 3 plays for 39 yards.

Wyoming completed a perfect 7-0 home record with Saturday’s win over Hawai’i. It is the first time in War Memorial Stadium history that the Cowboys won seven home games in a single season. It is the 15th undefeated regular-season home record in War Memorial history and the third in the Bohl era. The 2019 and 2016 Cowboy teams posted perfect 6-0 home records in the regular season.

Cowboy quarterback Peasley played a near flawless game against Hawai’i, completing 14 of 17 passes (82.4 percent) for 319 yards and three touchdown passes. Both his 82.4 completion percentage and his 319 passing yards were career highs for Peasley during his Wyoming playing career. His previous career bests were an 78.3 completion percentage (18 of 23) against Air Force in 2022 and 256 passing yards vs. Tulsa in 2022.

Linebacker Easton Gibbs recorded another double-figure tackle game on Saturday, recording 11 tackles. It was Gibbs fifth double-digit tackle game this season and the 18th of his career.

He has 101 tackles for the 2023 season. Gibbs now has 354 career tackles as a Cowboy. With his 11 tackles vs. Hawai’i, Gibbs moved into eighth place on the Wyoming career tackle list, passing former Cowboy linebacker greats Lucas Wacha (344 career tackles) and Ken Fantetti (352 career tackles).

“It was really special and we’re really pleased with how we came out,” said Bohl. “It was going to be important for us to start fast, and we certainly did that. Our passing game was explosive, and we came up with some big plays on defense.

“Hawai’i is a prideful football team. We knew that they would fight, but the first half I think really secured this victory.”

Bohl was asked how excited he was for the play of quarterback Andrew Peasley in Saturday’s win. Bohl responded, “I certainly am (excited). He played gutty last week (at UNLV), but he was displeased with his performance in that game. He’s a winner, and I thought he played great today.”

Both the Cowboy offensive and defensive lines played key roles in Wyoming capturing Saturday’s victory, as well as the Pokes winning the turnover battle.

NEVADA RECAP RECAP: For the second straight week, the Wyoming Cowboys enjoyed a fast start that led to their eighth overall win of the season and their fifth Mountain West Conference victory of the year as the Cowboys secured a 42-6 road win over the Nevada Wolf Pack. Wyoming finished the regular season 8-4 overall and 5-3 in the Mountain West. The Cowboys will now await a bowl invitation for the sixth time in the past eight seasons and the third consecutive season. Wyoming has never gone bowling in three successive seasons.

It was Wyoming’s fourth eight-win season during the Craig Bohl era and the first eight-win regular season since 2016. The Pokes’ other two eight-win seasons under Bohl in 2017 and ‘19 included bowl victories. Wyoming will have an opportunity to win nine games this season when they go bowling later this year. The last time a Wyoming team won at least nine games was in 1996 when the Cowboys went 10-2 under then head coach Joe Tiller.

BOWL BOWL HISTORY HISTORY

1 9 5 1 G ATO R B OW L WYOMING 20, WASHINGTON & LEE 7 January 1, 1951 • Gator Bowl • Jacksonville, Florida he game was a battle of two different offenses and one nasty defense.

The Generals were rolling with the new split “T” formation and threatened to run through Wyoming's defense. The Wyoming single-wing offense was operating better than ever behind tailback Eddie Talboom. The Cowboy defense, tops in the nation heading into the game, was handed a challenge when W & L supporters doubted its toughness and questioned the UW schedule. The Generals also had a big and physical defensive front, and the Cowboys had trouble penetrating the wall. The first quarter ended scoreless, but UW had figured out how to beat the W & L crew. If you can't run through them, throw over them. Wyoming started a drive late in the first period, using the passing skills of Talboom and the receiving gifts of Dewey McConnell and Jerry Parker. The Cowboys moved the ball to the General eight-yard line, where Talboom tossed a touchdown to back Dick Campbell, who was wide open in the end zone. Talboom kicked the point after and UW led, 7-0. After an excellent defensive stand by the Cowboys, the Generals were forced to pass, and Selmer Pederson picked off the ball at the UW 47-yard line. Talboom went back to work, hitting on three straight passes for 45 yards to put the Cowboys in scoring position. A pass interference penalty put the ball on the General two-yard line, and Talboom carried it in from there.

He missed the point after, but the Pokes extended their lead, 13-0.

The Generals got their offense moving late in the second quarter and reached the UW 21-yard line. On fourth down and long, Ray Leister's pass attempt to Talbot Trammel sailed out of the end zone, and the half came to a close. W & L got the ball to start the second half and moved it with ease against the Cowboy defense. Wes Abrams ran for 22 yards, and Charlie Holt followed that with a 30-yard run to the Cowboy 25-yard line where he was hit and fumbled. Vaughn Hilpp recovered for the Pokes and stopped the scoring threat.

After taking a Wyoming punt, the Generals moved backward on three straight plays, including a 16-yard loss on an errant pitch.

Punting from his five-yard line, Leister's kick went just 20 yards, and Wyoming had the ball on the W & L 25. After a two-yard loss, Talboom found McConnell for nine yards. Fullback John Melton ran up the middle for 18 yards and a touchdown. Talboom made the point after, and Wyoming's lead grew to 20-0. The Generals scored late in the fourth quarter on a two-yard quarterback-sneak

by Gil Bocetti. The Cowboys ran out the clock after the ensuing kick-off. Wyoming was just the second conference team ever to win a bowl game and vowed it wouldn't be too long before it

BOWL HISTORY BOWL HISTORY

1 9 5 6 S U N B OW L WYOMING 21, TEXAS TECH 14 January 2, 1956 • Kidd Stadium • El Paso, Texas he 1956 Sun Bowl culminated an outstanding 8-3 season for the Wyoming Cowboys. It also marked a return to postseason play for the Pokes for the first time since the 1951 Gator Bowl.

The depth of the 1955 Cowboy squad was put on full display in the ‘56 Sun Bowl when a number of individuals stepped forward to lead the Cowboys to a hard-fought victory over Texas Tech.

Wyoming entered the game without all-conference quarterback Joe Mastrogiovanni. The Brooklyn, N.Y., native had suffered a seasonending knee injury in the regular-season finale at Houston. Dan Nickla, a junior from Merrick, N.Y., was given the Sun Bowl start by head coach Phil Dickens, but when UW’s single-wing offense struggled early in the game, he turned to sophomore quarterback Larry Zowada to attack the Red Raiders through the air.

Zowada, a sophomore from Sheridan, Wyo., had completed only two of five passes for 20 yards during the regular season, but on this day he played like a veteran. Before the day was through, Zowada completed six of ten passes for 112 yards and two touchdowns.

It was also a coming out party for junior tailback Jim Crawford from Greybull, Wyo. Crawford was a big powerful back at 6-0 and 180 pounds.

During the regular season, Crawford had teamed in the backfield with Jerry Jester, a speedster at 5-9 and 155 pounds from Greenwood, S.C., and Ove Stapleton, a 5-8 and 175-pound fullback from Cromona, Ky. While Crawford ranked third on the team in rushing for the season with 431 yards, the Sun Bowl was his day as he ran for 103 yards on 18 carries against Tech.

Defensively, a number of individuals played key roles in containing the Red Raiders, but none played better than junior linebacker Vince Guinta.

In a Jan. 3, 1956, Laramie Daily Bulletin story, Guinta was described as a “terror” on defense. In the first quarter, the Brooklyn, N.Y., native recovered one Texas Tech fumble and also intercepted a pass to set the tone for the game.

Wyoming’s defense held the Red Raiders scoreless in the first half.

In the second quarter the Poke offense gave the Cowboys the early lead when Zowada hit wingback John Watts down the sideline for a 53-yard TD pass. Watts, a native of Schlater, Miss., and described in the Bulletin article as “the Mississippi flash,” gave Wyoming the lead.

Capping off that first scoring drive was another “unsung hero” senior tailback and place-kicker Pete Kutches of Escanaba, Mich. Kutches was forced into the key role of place-kicker on extra points. That was due to the fact that the injured Mastrogiovanni was also the Cowboys’ regular place-kicker. He came through in fine fashion converting his first PAT of the day to give Wyoming a 7-0 halftime lead.

To start the second half, Texas Tech quickly got back in the game.

On their first possession, the Red Raiders drove 80 yards to tie the game at 7-7 with 6:15 remaining in the third quarter.

Entering the fourth quarter, the game was still tied at 7-7, but Tech went on a 10-play scoring drive to take its first lead of the game at 14-7 with 11:50 remaining in the game.

With the momentum in favor of the Red Raiders, the Cowboys received a strong punt return from senior wingback Clifford “Butch” Wilson of Ethete, Wyo., but a penalty nullified the return. Wyoming began the drive on their own six-yard line. It was then that Crawford made his mark on the game. Crawford recorded three key plays during the drive: a 24-yard rush; a 13-yard pass completion to sophomore Roger Jeffers of Oneida, Tenn.; and a critical block on a 15-yard rush by fullback Stapleton. The drive ended with Zowada finding sophomore end Bob Marshall of Warwick, R.I., on a 13-yard touchdown pass to tie the game at 14 with less than five minutes to play.

After adding his second extra point of the day, place-kicker Kutches then contributed another critical play coming up with a Red Raider fumble deep in Texas Tech territory.

Two plays later, fullback Stapleton battled his way in from the one and with Kutches third extra-point the Cowboys had a 21-14 lead with 3:25 left.

Wyoming’s defense came up with another fumble recovery in the final three minutes, and recorded its eighth win of the season and the second bowl victory in school history.

There were too many contributors to count for the Cowboys that day. It was truly a team effort.

Crawford was awarded the Dr. C.M. Hendricks award as the Sun

BOWL HISTORY BOWL HISTORY

1 9 5 8 S U N B OW L WYOMING 14, HARDIN-SIMMONS 6 December 31, 1958 • Kidd Field • El Paso, Texas he 24th Annual Sun Bowl battle between Wyoming and Hardin-Simmons pitted one set of Cowboys against another one. It was expected to be an old-fashioned Wild West shootout featuring the passing expertise of Hardin-Simmons and the high scoring ball-control offense of Wyoming. Coach “Slingin” Sammy Baugh brought his Cowboys from Abilene into the Sun Bowl after winning the Border Conference championship. Baugh, one of the NFL's all-time passing greats, introduced his exciting style of throwing the football to the Texas team. But the defensive side controlled the game more than the offensive. Wyoming took advantage of two Hardin-Simmons' mistakes in the second quarter to take an early and insurmountable lead. Wyoming's Pat Smyth recovered a Dewey Bohling fumble, giving Wyoming the ball in excellent field position. Mark Smolinski rambled in from 23 yards to give Wyoming a 7-0 lead. Moments later Wyoming linebacker Len Kuczewski intercepted a Harold Stephens pass on the UW 19-yard line and made a lateral pass to Robert Sawyer who took the ball to the 29-yard line. Bud Snyder carried it in from the four-yard line moments later and Mike McGill nailed his second point after to give the UW Cowboys a 14-0 lead. Bohling returned a kick 83 yards in the third period, but the drive was halted by the Wyoming defense on the one-foot line. Wyoming quick-kicked on the first down to the Hardin-Simmons 49-yard line. Stephens finally got the HardinSimmons offense going, hitting Benji Lipsey with a 22-yard pass for a touchdown with 4:30 remaining in the third quarter. Stephens' two-point pass attempt failed, and Wyoming led 14-6. That was the only damaging play by the potent passing attack of Baugh's Border Conference champs. Hardin-Simmons finished the game with 82 passing yards, completing 11 of 23 passes. Neither team threatened to score for the remainder of the game because defensive teams were so strong. For the first time in Sun Bowl history the Dr. C.M. Hendricks Trophy for the Most Valuable Player was given to a lineman, Wyoming's Len Kuczewski, a product of the Pennsylvania coal mines. His interception and tough defensive play stopped the Hardin-Simmons attack. “I never expected the award,” Kuczewski said following the game. “I was honored to receive it, and it will receive an honor spot in our home.” The Cowboy defense was praised

1 9 6 6 S U N B OW L WYOMING 28, FLORIDA STATE 20 December 24, 1966 • Sun Bowl Stadium • El Paso, Texas he Cowboys battled the Seminoles of Florida State in the 1966 Sun Bowl. FSU had the nation’s best quarterback tandem in Gary Pajcic and Kim Hammond. The Cowboys had a pretty good passer of their own, but it was a ball control offense, featuring the running game, and a defense that keyed Wyoming to the WAC title and a 9-1 record. It was those same two elements that guided Wyoming past Florida State, 28-20.

Wyoming’s mule on offense packed quite a Kiick, Jim Kiick that is. In winning the Dr. C.M. Hendricks Award as the Sun Bowl Most Valuable Player, he rushed for the game’s first score on UW’s third offensive possession. The one-yard plunge came with 4:43 remaining in the first period and capped a 31-yard drive. The drive was set up by Vic Washington’s 34-yard punt return to the FSU 31-yard line. Florida State took control in the second quarter, scoring two touchdowns in less than four minutes. The Seminoles recovered a fumbled punt by Washington on the UW 49-yard line. On the first play from scrimmage, Pajcic hit end Pat Sellers for 49-yards and the score with 5:21 remaining in the half. FSU took the lead, 14-7, on another toss on the next possession when Hammond found T.K. Wetherell for a short gain that he turned into a 58-yard touchdown romp. Wyoming tied the score just five plays into the third quarter when quarterback Rick Egloff hit receiver Jerry Marion for a 39-yard strike down the left sideline.

Jerry DePoyster added the point after conversion. It was three and out for Florida State on the next possession, as the tough Cowboy defense backed the Seminoles up to their own six-yard line. Following the punt, Kiick carried the Cowboys to pay dirt in just two plays. He first tried the right side of the line for three yards and on the next play went over the left side and found daylight, dashing 43-yards for the score. DePoyster again aced the PAT and Wyoming regained the lead 21-14. From that point,

1 9 6 8 S U G A R B OW L LOUISIANA STATE 20, WYOMING 13 January 1, 1968 • Tulane Stadium • New Orleans, Louisiana espite the fact that Wyoming was the only undefeated major college team in the nation, bowl officials were more than a little skeptical when it came to offering the Pokes an invitation. Wyoming's schedule wasn't tough enough, they said. Most wondered if Wyoming could sell any tickets. The Sugar Bowl officials looked past that, and despite severe scrutiny, gladly accepted the unwanted Cowboys to play in the 34th Sugar Bowl Classic. They laughed all the way to the bank.

Over 78,000 fans watched Cinderella in cowboy boots nearly knock off the local favorites. The Cowboys, who brought over 10,000 fans to Bourbon Street, jumped to an early 13-0 lead on LSU. The Tigers entered the game with a 6-3-1 record, after playing the nation's toughest schedule. In a game featuring four All-America players, two on each team, it was a third string sophomore halfback with a common name, that led the Tigers to victory. Glenn Smith earned the Most Valuable Player award after rushing 16 times for 74 yards and a touchdown. A cold, intermittent rain shower prevailed and the temperature dropped ten degrees during the course of the game. Wyoming jumped to a 7-0 lead on the first play of the second quarter when Jim Kiick capped an 80-yard drive with a one-yard run around the left end. All-American Jerry DePoyster kicked the point after. Safety Dennis Devlin came up with a big defensive play midway through the second quarter. The Tigers attempted to convert a fourth down and three-yard play when Devlin tackled LSU back Tommy Allen for a three-yard loss. The Wyoming offense took control and moved the ball 64 yards in 11 plays for a DePoyster 24-yard field goal. The Cowboy defense again stopped LSU, this time in three plays forcing a punt. Tackle Larry Nels sacked Tiger quarterback Nelson Stokely for an eight-yard loss to the LSU 17-yard line. After a short punt to midfield, quarterback Paul Toscano moved Wyoming to the Tiger 32-yard line and DePoyster added his second field goal in less than three minutes with a last second 49-yard boot. The kick not only gave Wyoming a 13-0 halftime lead, but also broke the Sugar Bowl record for the longest field goal. Wyoming dominated the first half stats, leading LSU 215-38 in total yards. Kiick was Wyoming's leading rusher with 62 yards on 14 carries and Toscano was 6-for-11 passing for 85 yards. Wyoming held a 13-7 margin heading

he game was best described by Steve Luhm: “It was more like a fiasco bowl than a Fiesta Bowl.”

That was the lead sentence of the sports story in the December 26 issue of the Laramie Daily Boomerang written by Luhm, the paper's sports editor. The previous day Big Eight Conference co-champion Oklahoma pounded the Wyoming Cowboys 41-7 in a nationally televised broadcast. Not only was the game itself a fiasco, but all 10 days leading up to the game were chaotic for the Wyoming football program. On December 16, Head Coach Fred Akers was named the head football coach at the University of Texas. While the UW administration moved swiftly, six days to be exact, to hire a new head coach (Bill Lewis), the preparation for the game was horrendous. Akers and his staff were making plans for the move to Texas and recruiting for the Longhorns. Members of the coaching staff not hired by Akers to follow him to Texas were scrambling for other jobs. Some of the coaches did not even attend the practice sessions leading up to the Fiesta Bowl game.

Oklahoma, one of the most powerful offensive teams in college football history, gained 415 rushing yards and 20 first-half points before the Cowboys knew what hit them. OU continued to run on Wyoming in the second half, scoring three more touchdowns before Cowboy Robbie Wright scored on a one-yard run with 24 seconds remaining in the game. It was Wyoming’s second loss in a bowl game. Sooner sophomore quarterback Thomas Lott was named the game's Most Valuable Player after masterfully guiding the wishbone attack for four Fiesta Bowl offensive records. The Sooners also set a bowl record by intercepting five Wyoming passes. “It's obvious Oklahoma has a heck of a football team,” Akers said following the game. “We knew that. I was disappointed that we didn’t play our best football. We caught them at their strongest. (Oklahoma coach) Barry (Switzer) told me that. We really didn't show the kind of team that we are.”

Roach and his staff prepared the Cowboys for the heavily favored Iowa Hawkeyes. A national television audience and a Holiday Bowl record crowd of 61,892, including more than 10,000 Wyoming fans, witnessed a great game. The Cowboys' opening drive, which consisted of two Craig Burnett pass completions for 35 yards, stalled on the Iowa 26-yard line. Greg Worker kicked a 43-yard field goal, and the Cowboys led 3-0. Iowa's strength was in the offensive and defensive lines, but on the Hawkeyes' first possession, the Cowboy defensive line was dominating. Iowa failed to get a first down on its first two drives. Worker added another field goal, a 38-yarder, with 6:37 left in the first quarter to give Wyoming a 6-0 lead. The Cowboy offense again moved the football on its next possession.

Burnett completed five of his six passes on the drive, hitting Anthony Sargent twice for five and 24 yards. From the 15-yard line, Burnett threw into the left corner of the end zone where James Loving leaped and made a beautiful one-handed catch for the touchdown.

The Cowboys attempted a two-point conversion which failed, but they held a 12-0 lead with 1:48 left in the first quarter. Wyoming dominated the first quarter statistics with 144 total yards to 28 for lowa. The Cowboy defense continued to take control of the game in the second quarter. Iowa was forced to punt on each possession of the quarter except one. Iowa's only score in the first half came when the Hawkeyes blocked a Tom Kilpatrick punt and returned it for a touchdown. That play pulled Iowa to within five points, 12-7.

Wyoming's next drive lasted 3:13 and covered 77 yards. Burnett attempted eight passes in the drive, completing four, and Wyoming had three rushing plays. Gerald Abraham scored from the Iowa three-yard line and Worker booted the point-after giving Wyoming a 19-7 halftime lead. On the second play of the fourth quarter Burnett made a rare error. A bad throw to the right sideline was picked off by Iowa cornerback Anthony Wright, who returned the interception 33 yards for a touchdown. Iowa put together a 10-play, 86-yard drive on its next possession, culminating in a David Hudson one-yard touchdown run. Iowa attempted a two-point conversion

he 1988 Holiday Bowl was expected to be one of the best match-ups on the college football bowl docket. The battle between these two Cowboy teams was supposed to be a high-scoring, offensive fireworks show. Wyoming and Oklahoma State were two of the nation's best offensive teams. OSU led the nation in scoring, 47.5 points per game, and Wyoming was third, 41.4 points per game. Oklahoma State averaged 515 yards of total offense per game and Wyoming 478 yards. While the two offenses had great reputations for moving the football, this game featured one of the greatest players in NCAA history, 1988 Heisman Trophy winner Barry Sanders.

Sanders had the best year of any running back in history that season, and the 1988 Holiday Bowl was his final collegiate game.

Sanders singlehandedly beat Wyoming with five touchdowns and 222 rushing yards. Oklahoma State started the scoring on its first possession with a Sanders 33-yard touchdown run. Cary Blanchard kicked the point-after and Oklahoma State led 7-0 with 10:13 left in the first quarter. Wyoming finally got the ball rolling on its third possession later in the quarter. Randy Welniak completed a thirddown pass to Ted Gilmore for 20 yards and rushed for 14 yards and another first down later in the drive. Welniak capped the drive with a four-yard sprint around the right end. Sanders scored his second touchdown of the day with 1:29 left in the first half on a two-yard run up the middle. Oklahoma State added another score, a 33-yard field goal, right before the half expired to give it a 17-7 lead at halftime. OSU dominated the first half statistically with 250 total yards to Wyoming's 57. On its first possession of the second half, Oklahoma State scored on a 12-yard pass from Mike Gundy to Brent Parker. Wyoming put together a 12-play 75-yard drive on its next possession. Welniak completed five passes in the drive and scored his second touchdown on a four-yard run. Fleming's point after pulled Wyoming to within 10 points at 24-14. Then Sanders scored again on Oklahoma State's first play from scrimmage, a 67-yard dash to the end zone. He followed that with scores on each of the next two possessions with one-yard and ten-yard runs. Oklahoma State took a 45-14 lead into the fourth quarter.

Oklahoma State scored 17 points in the fourth quarter to make the final score 62-14. The Cowboys from Oklahoma rolled up 698 total offensive yards. The Oklahoma State team of 1988 will be SCORING BY QUARTER Oklahoma State Wyoming

1 9 9 0 COPP E R B OW L CALIFORNIA 17, WYOMING 15 December 31, 1990 • Arizona Stadium • Tucson, Arizona yoming would play California for the first time ever. Cal had a dangerous backfield trio: I,000-yard rushers Anthony Wallace and Russell White and strong-armed quarterback Mike Pawlawski. The Wyoming defense, spearheaded by AllAmerican defensive end Mitch Donahue, played an outstanding game. California had 89 rushing yards and 261 total yards for the game. The Bears scored first with 11:43 left in the second quarter.

Pawlawski threw to receiver Brian Treggs, who was wide open on the left sideline, for a 25-yard touchdown. Robbie Keen kicked the point-after, and California led 7-0. The Cowboys had some big plays but couldn't sustain a drive. With 6:09 left in the half, punter-kicker Sean Fleming masterfully ran a fake punt from near midfield. After taking the snap, Fleming noticed an opening on the right side of the Wyoming line and sprinted for 30-yards before being tackled by the surprised Bear defense. Wyoming failed to capitalize on that drive. Wyoming's next possession started on its own 31-yard stripe.

Quarterback Tom Corontzos commanded a fine drive leading to a 26-yard Fleming field goal with :49 seconds left in the half. California led 7-3 at halftime. The Bears scored on their first possession of the second half when Keen nailed a 46-yard field goal with 10:04 left in the third period. California scored on its first possession of the fourth quarter when Greg Zomalt ran up the middle for four yards. Keen's extra point gave the Bears a 17-3 lead. The Cowboys scored with 5:57 left in the game after an impressive 83-yard drive.

Corontzos completed three straight passes on the drive and found wide receiver Shawn Wiggins for 22 yards to midfield. Three plays later, Jay Daffer ran untouched around the left end for an 11-yard touchdown. UW's two-point pass attempt failed, and the Cowboys trailed 17-9. The Cowboy defense stopped the Bears after three plays on the next drive. Wyoming went back to work on offense with another impressive drive. Corontzos connected with Wiggins for a 33-yard pass and moved to the California 24-yard line. Fleming's 41yard field goal with 2:07 remaining was wide left. Again the Cowboy defense stopped California after three plays, and Keen punted to speedy Robert Rivers, who took the punt on the Wyoming 30-yard line and dashed to his left. After finding no running room, he raced to his right, went to the sideline, and won a footrace to the goal line.

Rivers' score with 0:49 left in the game pulled Wyoming to within two points. The Cowboys attempted a two-point play, but Corontzos was sacked. Fleming attempted an onside kick, but it sailed out of bounds and California ran out the clock to end the game. The finish

1 9 9 3 COPP E R B OW L KANSAS STATE 52, WYOMING 17 December 28, 1993 • Arizona Stadium • Tucson, Arizona yoming and Kansas State are rewarded for excellent seasons with invitations to the 1993 Weiser Lock Copper Bowl in Tucson. The Cowboys tied for the WAC title and had an 8-3 record, while the Wildcats had their finest season in school history with an 8-2-1 overall record. The Cowboys blew two big scoring chances early when a Ryan Yarborough 56-yard touchdown strike was called back by a penalty and then a Yarborough to Mike Jones reverse was thwarted by a touchdown saving interception. Those two non-plays for the Cowboys would have given them a 14-0 lead early in the ball game. Wyoming took a 3-0 lead on a Taylor Sorenson 35-yard field goal midway through the first quarter but the Wildcats answered with a J.J. Smith two-yard touchdown plunge. Kansas State missed the PAT and later added a field goal to hold a 9-3 lead after the first quarter. Early in the second quarter, the Wildcats capped an eight play drive with a Chad May two-yard run and extended their lead to 16-3. Wyoming answered on a Ryan Christopherson three-yard pitch play to pull within six at 16-10. Andre Coleman then took a Brian Gragert punt all the way home for 68-yards and the Wildcats led 24-10 at the half.

The second half belonged to Kansas State with two third quarter touchdowns, to take a 38-10 lead. The Cowboys scored their final touchdown on a John Gustin to Eddie Pratt ten-yard toss early in the fourth. The Wildcats scored two late touchdowns, one on a 37-yard interception return. The game was special for the Cowboys and Wildcats, who were playing in just their second bowl game, because of the record attendance of 49,085.

The Cowboys finished with 302 yards of total offense, but three Wyoming turnovers proved costly. Joe Hughes threw for 237 yards on 28 completions. In his final game as a Cowboy, All-

2004 PIONEER PUREVISION L AS V E G AS B OW L WYOMING 24, UCLA 21 December 23, 2004 • Sam Boyd Stadium • Las Vegas, Nevada

W

yoming fans had been waiting 38 years for a night like this one. Not since Dec. 24, 1966, when the Wyoming Cowboys defeated Florida State by a score of 28-20 in the Sun Bowl had the University of Wyoming won a bowl game.

But second-year Cowboy head coach Joe Glenn and his team would put an end to that streak with the biggest upset of the 2004 college bowl season.

The Pokes entered the 2004 Pioneer PureVision Las Vegas Bowl as 12.5-point underdogs to the UCLA Bruins. UCLA came into the game versus UW having nearly knocked off their archrival, eventual National Champion USC, in the final regularseason game of the season before losing 29-24.

Glenn’s Cowboys showed from the opening kickoff that they had taken their head coach’s words to heart – Wyoming wasn’t just happy being in a bowl game, the Cowboys were there to win a bowl game.

UW took an early 3-0 lead when Deric Yaussi converted a 39-yard field goal to cap off a six-play, 73-yard drive with 5:57 remaining in the first quarter. On UCLA’s next possession, Randy Tscharner forced a Bruin fumble, and Zach Morris recovered on the UCLA 25-yard line. It took Corey Bramlet and the Cowboy offense just three plays to convert the turnover into a 10-yard touchdown pass to Tyler Holden giving Wyoming a 10-0 lead with 4:11 left in the first quarter.

The second quarter belonged to the Bruins as they scored on TD drives of 56 and 30 yards to take a 14-10 halftime lead. UCLA extended their lead to 21-10 in the third quarter when they took their first possession of the second half on a 12-play, 80-yard touchdown march. The third quarter ended with the score UCLA 21, Wyoming 10.

As the fourth quarter began, Wyoming had the ball on its own 36-yard line with a second down and 11 yards to go for a first down. Following an 18-yard pass from Bramlet to Holden and rushes of 14 yards by Joseph Harris and nine yards by Bramlet, backup quarterback J.J. Raterink entered the game at quarterback. On second down and one from UCLA’s 22-yard line, Raterink took the snap and tossed the ball to running back C.R. Davis on a sweep left. But it wasn’t a sweep. Davis handed the ball to wide receiver Jovon Bouknight, who came around on a reverse.

Bouknight running to his right then threw the ball to the end zone where Raterink made a diving catch to pull the Cowboys to within four points at 21-17 with 12:50 remaining in the game.

The Bruins next possession saw Wyoming cornerback Derrick Martin force a UCLA fumble, which he returned to the UCLA 17-yard line. It appeared as if the Pokes had the opportunity they had been looking for, but two plays later, Wyoming committed its only turnover of the day when Bramlet threw an interception at the goal line that was returned 48 yards by UCLA’s Matt Clark.

With 9:55 now remaining in the game, UCLA drove down to the Wyoming 27-yard line where the Bruins set up for a 45-yard field goal by Justin Medlock.

However, Medlock’s kick fell short, and with only 5:53 left on the clock, Wyoming took over at its own 28-yard line.

On first and second down, Bramlet had two passes fall incomplete. It was third and ten from the 28, and the Cowboys’ backs were against the wall. Bramlet dropped back on third down, and found Holden on a 24-yard completion to give SCORING BY QUARTER Wyoming UCLA

the Cowboys new life. Following an incompletion on first down, Bramlet hit backto-back completions of 11 and nine yards to Bouknight and Dustin Pleasant to take the ball down to the UCLA 28. A rush by Joseph Harris went for no gain – it was now fourth down and one. The Cowboys had to gain one yard to keep their hopes alive. Wyoming’s offensive line, led by senior center Trenton Franz, was able to lead Bramlet on a quarterback sneak to get the first down by inches. With a first down at the UCLA 27 and a little over a minute to go, Bramlet dropped back and looked for his favorite receiver – Bouknight. The pass fell incomplete, but interference was called on UCLA cornerback Matt Clark. After the 15-yard penalty was marked off, Wyoming had the ball on the UCLA 12-yard line.

It was then that the play Cowboy fans had been waiting for since 1966 finally happened. As Bramlet surveyed the field, he saw tight end John Wadkowski running down the middle of the UCLA defense. Bramlet let the ball go, and Wadkowski made one of the most remembered catches in Wyoming history in the end zone to give the Pokes a 23-21 lead. UW place-kicker Yaussi then connected on his 36th and final extra point of the season to give the Cowboys a 24-21 lead. UW was only 57 seconds away from victory.

After Yaussi’s kickoff, UCLA had the ball at its own 22-yard line with 53 ticks left on the clock. UCLA gained seven yards on a first down pass play, followed by an eight-yard rush. It was now first and ten at the Bruin 37, but as UCLA quarterback David Koral dropped back, Wyoming defensive end Aaron Robbins fought through to sack Koral for a nine-yard loss. It was second and 19. After an incomplete pass, it was third down and 19. A complete pass for three yards left the Bruins with a fourth down and 16 yards to go at their own 31-yard line – only 18 seconds remained. Koral dropped back and threw the ball, but the pass was incomplete and Wyoming fans could breathe a sigh of relief with only 10 seconds remaining on the clock. UW ran one play, and the celebration began. The final score was Wyoming 24, UCLA 21. The Cowboys were Las Vegas Bowl champions.

Bramlet was named Pioneer PureVision Las Vegas Bowl MVP as he completed 20 of 34 passes for 307 yards and two touchdown passes. Bouknight and Holden each recorded 100-yard receiving days – Bouknight with 107 yards and Holden with 115 and a TD catch. Wyoming’s offense accumulated 405 yards of total offense on the day. The Cowboy defense held UCLA to only 311 yards of total offense, and recorded a season high six sacks. Wyoming was led by middle linebacker Tscharner and strong safety Ron Rockett, who both had seven total tackles. Tscharner also forced one fumble and shared in a sack. Cowboy defensive end John Flora was credited with two sacks and three tackles for losses on the day. Defensive tackle Morris recovered one fumble and shared in a sack, while cornerback Derrick Martin forced one fumble, which he also recovered, had one sack and broke up one pass.

W

yoming fans will never forget the 2009 New Mexico Bowl — the first overtime bowl game in Cowboy history.

It was a game filled with one big play after another. The Cowboys scored the first points of the game when freshman running back Alvester Alexander exploded for a 68-yard touchdown dash with 7:37 remaining in the first quarter.

Fresno state came back to tie the game in the second quarter when the nation’s leading rusher, Ryan Mathews scored from four yards out.

Wyoming responded on its very next possession, engineering a 15-play, 95yard drive that took 7:20 off the clock. The drive was keyed by runs of 13 yards from freshman quarterback Austyn Carta-Samuels and 17 yards from Alexander, as well as a 17-yard pass from Carta-Samuels to senior tight end Jesson Salyards.

The final critical play of the drive came on a third-and-eight from the Fresno State 21-yard line. Carta-Samuels connected with senior wide receiver Greg Bolling on a TD strike to put the Pokes up 14-7 with only 4:55 remaining in the half.

The Bulldogs bounced back, driving 65 yards in 10 plays culminating with a 10-yard pass from quarterback Ryan Colburn to wide receiver Jamel Hamler, with only 33 seconds remaining in the half. The halftime score was tied at 14-14.

Fresno regained the lead on the first possession of the second half, scoring on a 43-yard TD pass. Wyoming pulled within four at 21-17 on a 40-yard field goal by freshman Ian Watts.

The Wyoming defense would then hold Fresno State scoreless on its next two possessions. After a three-and-out series of its own, Wyoming’s final possession of the third quarter began at the Cowboy 13-yard line. On the seventh play of that drive, Carta-Samuels was intercepted by the Bulldogs’ Chris Lewis at the Wyoming 33-yard line. Lewis returned the interception 27 yards to the Cowboy six. Two plays later, Mathews scored from five yards out, and the Bulldogs held a 28-17 lead with only 13:49 remaining in the game.

The Pokes’ next possession began at its 32-yard line after a 29-yard kickoff return by James Caraway. Alexander got 15 yards on the first play of the drive, and Wyoming was quickly out to its own 47-yard line. Facing a third and 13 later in the drive, Carta-Samuels hit junior wide receiver Zach Bolger on a 30-yard pass completion down to the Fresno 26-yard line. A 14-yard rush by Alexander and a one-yard gain by fellow running back Brandon Stewart moved the ball down to the 11-yard line where Carta-Samuels hooked up with junior receiver David Leonard to pull UW to within five at 23-28. Head coach Dave Christensen decided to go for two points on the conversion to reduce the deficit to three points. Carta-Samuels found Bolling on the successful two-point conversion, and Wyoming drew within a field goal.

Following a 39-yard kickoff return by Fresno State to the Wyoming 48, Mathews carried on four straight plays for gains of 11, 6, 1 and 4 yards. But on that fourth carry, Cowboy senior defensive end Mitch Unrein ripped the ball out of Mathews hands and Unrein recovered the fumble at the Wyoming 26 to stop the potential go-ahead drive for Fresno State.

The Cowboys took over the ball with 8:08 remaining, and had to have at least a field goal to tie. It didn’t look good for UW when Fresno forced them into a punting situation just four plays later. On fourth and two from his own 34-yard line, sophomore punter Austin McCoy was set to kick it back to FSU, but the Cowboys carried out the fake punt successfully with McCoy throwing a completion to Leonard for three yards and a first down. Another four plays later, UW was again facing fourth down and two. This time the Pokes lined up to go for it on fourth down, and Carta-Samuels carried for eight yards to the Fresno 47-yard line. The Cowboys were not to be denied when faced with a third fourth-down play on the drive — a fourth and four from the FSU 41 — Carta-Samuels came through with a six-yard run to the Fresno 35-yard line. After a loss of five yards, Bolger grabbed his second big pass of the day — a 20-yarder from Carta-Samuels — and that put the Pokes within field-goal range at the 20-yard line. Watts came with less than 30 seconds remaining, and calmly hit a 37-yard attempt to tie the game at 28-28 with only 19 seconds remaining.

After the Bulldogs received the kickoff, they took a knee on the final play in regulation, and the game was going to overtime.

Wyoming won the toss and elected to go on defense first. Fresno State was given the ball on Wyoming’s 25-yard line. After six plays had moved the ball down to the Wyoming 10-yard line, it looked good for the Cowboys as they had forced FSU into a third down and five. Fresno QB Colburn, however, responded with a nine-yard run down to the Cowboy one-yard line. With the nation’s leading runner in the backfield in Mathews and the Bulldogs having a first and goal at the Wyoming one-yard line, it wasn’t looking good for the Brown and Gold.

It was then that the Cowboy defense recorded one of the most memorable moments in Wyoming Football history. On four straight plays, Fresno gave the ball to their outstanding running back Mathews, and on four straight plays the Cowboy defense denied him.

Wyoming had the ball and just needed to kick a field goal. The Pokes ran three plays down to the Fresno 22-yard line, and then brought in Watts for a 40yard attempt, but he was unsuccessful on the kick. Time for a second overtime.

The Cowboys got the ball first in the second overtime, and on their fifth play of the series Carta-Samuels connected with Leonard in the back left corner of the end zone for their second TD of the day to give UW a 35-28 lead.

Fresno now had to score a touchdown to keep their hopes alive. On first down the Cowboys held Mathews to no gain. Colburn then threw two incompletions and the Bulldogs found themselves with a fourth down and five from the 20-yard line.

Colburn dropped to pass, Wyoming got pressure and Colburn began to scramble but Wyoming’s Brian Hendricks and Ghaali Muhammad combined on a sack of three yards and the Cowboys had won the 2009 New Mexico Bowl Championship.

T

he 2011 season was an outstanding one for the University of Wyoming Cowboys. But the Temple Owls proved too much for the Cowboys on Saturday as Temple defeated Wyoming 37-15 in the 2011 Gildan New Mexico Bowl played at University Stadium in Albuquerque, N.M. UW ended its season 8-5 overall and 5-2 in the Mountain West Conference, placing third in the MW behind TCU (11-2, 7-0) and Boise State (12-1, 6-1). Of Wyoming’s five regular-season losses three came against ranked opponents or teams receiving votes. UW lost 14-38 at No. 9 Nebraska in Week Four of the season, lost to No. 7 Boise State (14-36) in Week 11 and lost 20-31 to TCU when the Horned Frogs were receiving votes in the national polls.

It was Wyoming’s first eight-win season since 1998. The Cowboys’ five conference wins and third-place finish in the Mountain West tied for their best finish since joining the conference in 1999. Temple concluded its season 9-4 overall and 5-3 in the Mid-American Conference.

Wyoming freshman quarterback Brett Smith completed 20 of 30 pass attempts for 127 yards and two touchdowns, but also threw three interceptions. His scoring tosses went to freshman running back Kody Sutton and freshman wide receiver Josh Doctson. Sutton’s 14-yard touchdown late in the fourth quarter was his first career score as a Cowboy.

Two of Smith’s interceptions led to a Temple touchdown and field goal on the day.

Smith added 65 yards rushing. When combined with his 127 passing yards, he tallied 192 yards of total offense, which gave him 3,332 yards for the season. That ranks as the third best single-season total in school history.

Cowboy senior linebacker Brian Hendricks was credited with 13 tackles, moving him into No. 11 on UW’s Career Tackle List. Hendricks finished his Wyoming career with 309 tackles, just two shy of tying for 10th place. Senior defensive end Gabe Knapton also had seven stops, giving him a total of 368 for his career. Knapton is fifth all-time in Cowboy history.

Temple scored two rushing touchdowns and added a third through the air in the first and second quarters to go up 21-0 with 10 minutes SCORING BY QUARTER 1

remaining in the first half.

Wyoming answered with a 21-yard strike from Smith to Doctson to draw Wyoming closer, making it 21-7 with just 37 seconds to go in the first half.

But Temple scored on its next offensive play, as quarterback Chris Coyer threw a 61-yard pass to Rod Streater for the score and Temple took a 28-7 lead heading into halftime.

Smith’s day was up and down, but his accomplishments over the year gave Cowboy coach Dave Christensen hope for the future.

“Not his best day,” Christensen said. “But the great news is he’s got three more years and he’ll work extremely hard in the offseason. He’ll bounce back. He always does.

“They (Temple) just played physically better than us. My hat’s off to them. They’re a good running team. They’re a good football team.”

The final stats showed Temple with 424 total yards to Wyoming’s 267.

The Owl’s rushing attack accounted for 255 rushing yards vs. the Cowboys 140 yards on the ground.

Temple also won the turnover battle, intercepting three Wyoming passes. The Cowboys were unable to force a turnover by the Eagles.

The Cowboys’ loss broke a two-game bowl winning streak. Wyoming defeated UCLA, 24-21, in the 2004 Las Vegas Bowl, and followed that up in the 2009 New Mexico Bowl by defeating Fresno State, 35-28 in double overtime. Wyoming’s all-time bowl record now stands at 6-7 (.462).

UW falls to 6-18 in their 14 Bowl appearances.

“We got more rhythm offensively in the second half of the game,” UW head coach Craig Bohl said. “They have a big strong running back with a big offensive line making us really have to scrap defensively. We had an opportunity to win the game late, but came up short. We had a great belief we could win the ball game, but we just ran out of time.”

Wyoming recorded 373 yards of total offense on the night with BYU recording 313. UW recorded 254 yards of offense in the second half, while only allowing 167 yards in the second stanza. BYU rushed for 216 yards on the evening with Jamaal Williams accounting for 210 of those yards.

He has 20 touchdowns for his career tying for fourth all-time with former teammate Robert Herron.

goal by Rhett Almond to increase BYU’s advantage to 10-0 with 3:08 remaining in the opening half.

UW could not get on the board in the first half and went into the break trailing 10-0. It was the first time since Nov. 14 of last season against San Diego State that Wyoming was held scoreless in the first half.

The Pokes opened the second half on a mission with a 16-play, 60 yard drive that lasted a season-long 8:22. The drive was balanced with 31 rushing yards and 29 yards coming via the air attack of Allen. Sophomore Josh Harshman highlighted the drive with a fourth down reception for nine yards to the BYU 19 yard line. Hill punched in his touchdown from four yards out.

The Cougars responded with an eight play, 73-yard drive that ended with a Magnum pass to Tanner Balderree that was deflected by two Cowboy players in the back of the endzone. A 29-yard completion from Magnum to Nick Kurtz highlighted the BYU drive.

After an Allen interception that was returned to the BYU 45-yard line, the Cougars extended their lead to 24-7 on a 36-yard touchdown run by Jamaal Williams. He rushed with 46 yards rushing on the drive, as his 36-yarder was the longest of the contest for either team.

UW responded with another impressive drive that last over six minutes that featured 14 plays going 76 yards. The scoring drive ended with a nine yard touchdown pass from Allen to Gentry to cut the BYU lead to 24-14 with 7:35 remaining in the fourth quarter. Once again, another fourth down play highlighted the drive this time a 14-yard run by senior Shaun Wick to put the Pokes at the BYU 25-yard line.

After the Pokes’ defense forced a BYU punt, Allen and the Cowboy offense put together a seven-play, 81-yard scoring drive that ended with a 23-yard touchdown pass from Allen to Gentry to make it a 24-21 contest with 2:11 remaining in the fourth quarter. Another clutch play by the Cowboy offense was featured this time on third down when Allen found senior Jake Maulhardt for a 22-yard reception to put UW inside the Cougars’ 30-yard line.

The Cowboys defense stepped up once again forcing a three and out by the Cougars. Sophomore defensive end Kevin Prosser recorded a sack on third down for the Cowboys, as the Pokes got the ball back with 1:44 left on their 49-yard line.

The first play of the drive, Allen found Hill on a 20-yard reception, but the following play Allen was picked off by Kai Nacua and the Cougars knelled to earn the 24-21 win.

UW finishes the season with an 8-6 record. The Wyoming offense finished the season with 503 points. It was the second most in school history. UW scored 511 points in 1988.

BOWL HISTORY BOWL HISTORY

2 0 1 7 POT ATO B OW L WYOMING 37, CENTRAL MICHIGAN 14 December 22, 2017 • Albertsons Stadium • Boise, Idaho he Cowboys were clicking on all cylinders on Friday forcing a school record eight turnovers and scoring 37 points, the most in a Bowl Game in UW history in a 37-14 win over Central Michigan in the 21st Annual Famous Idaho Potato Bowl in Albertsons Stadium in Boise, Idaho. Junior quarterback Josh Allen was named the Most Valuable Player tossing three first quarter touchdowns.

After the contest, Allen declared for the NFL draft in front of the Cowboy faithful.

“First of all thanks for the hospitality our team has received here in Boise,” UW head coach Craig Bohl said. “It was a great win for us and put our team in a great position moving forward.”

Allen finished the game 11-of-19 for 154 yards with three touchdowns.

He opened the contest going 6-of-7 for 106 yards and three touchdowns in the opening quarter. Allen finishes his career ranking eighth in total yards at UW and eighth in career passing yards and fourth in total touchdowns with 57.

The pokes finished the game as the current national leaders in turnovers this season with 38, passing Central Michigan, who led the nation heading into the contest. The eight turnovers was a Famous Idaho Potato Bowl record.

“We have been productive in takeaways this season and today was exceptional,” Bohl said. “This team has been remarkable with takeaways and today topped it off.”

Along with the eight turnovers, UW set a season-high with five sacks.

Sophomore linebacker Logan Wilson added a team-high nine tackles with an interception and a forced fumble. Junior defensive end Carl Granderson recorded five tackles and a fumble recovery for a touchdown. Defensive tackle Youhanna Ghaifan tied a career-high with two sacks.

The Pokes held Central Michigan to 18 yards rushing and 364 yards of total offense. The Pokes recorded 275 yards of offense with 154 yards passing and 121 yards rushing. Redshirt sophomore Kellen Overstreet led UW with 85 rushing yards.

The Pokes got on the board first when Allen tossed a 23-yard strike to freshman wide out Jared Scott. It was Scott’s second catch of the season and second touchdown pass. Allen’s last touchdown pass before his injury was to Scott against Air Force. The Cowboys went five plays for 46 yards after the Pokes defense held the Chips deep in their territory on CMU’s opening possession.

The Pokes added to their lead to make it a 14-0 game at the 4:38 mark of the first quarter when a scrambling Allen found sophomore speedster Austin Conway in the endzone. The Pokes’ second touchdown of the game was set up by a strip sack from senior defensive end Nela Lolohea, his second-straight contest with a forced fumble.

Central Michigan wasted little time responding to UW’s second tally with a 74-yard touchdown pass from Shane Morris to Jonathan Ward. The three play drive made it a 14-7 contest. It was the longest passing play given up by the Pokes this season.

Allen continued to sling it for the Pokes finding sophomore wide receiver CJ Johnson on a 45-yard hookup for a touchdown a little over a minute after the Chips

BOWL HISTORY BOWL HISTORY

2 0 1 9 A R I Z ON A B OW L WYOMING 38, GEORGIA STATE 17 December 31, 2019 • Arizona Stadium • Tucson, Ariz. he Wyoming Cowboys capitalized on turnovers and recorded a season-high 524 yards of total offense in a 38-17 win over Georgia State in the NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl in Arizona Stadium in Tucson. Sophomore running back Xazavian Valladay was named the Offensive MVP and senior safety Alijah Halliburton earned Defensive MVP honors. Valladay rushed for 204 yards for his six 100-yard rushing performance this season and second 200-yard game. He also added three receptions for a career-high 91 yards for a season-high 296 yards of all-purpose yardage. Valladay also scored a receiving and a rushing touchdown for the Cowboys. Halliburton added an interception that setup a score and finished the game with 11 tackles.

Freshman quarterback Levi Williams threw for a career-high 234 yards in his first career start. He added three touchdown passes for the most in a game since Josh Allen had three in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl in 2017.

“He (Levi Williams) was composed, made a lot of big plays,” said Bohl. “He had a couple of things that we wish we could have had back, but for a freshmen or for any quarterback I thought he played with great poise and composure. And to say that Brent Vigen (Wyoming offensive coordinator) did a great job with him is an understatement. Some people may think it was a bold step, playing a freshman quarterback. It really wasn’t, in effect. I thought it was the right move. It was great experience for him and we’re glad that he’s here.”

Senior Logan Wilson added seven tackles in his final game for the Brown and Gold. The Wyoming native finished his career with 421 tackles and threestraight 100-tackle seasons.

When asked about what Wilson, a Casper, Wyo. native, has meant to the Wyoming football program, Bohl said, “I think it’s a message for all our players. All our players are important, and they come from all different kinds of places. But time and time again, when I first got the job some people and some coaches said that you couldn’t win with Wyoming players. I say we can’t win without them. I had a chance to visit with Coach (Steve) Harshman (head coach at Casper’s Natrona County High School) about that when his son Josh came into our program with Logan (Wilson). Logan has worked really hard to develop his skill set. And I think he’s going to continue to play football at the next level.

I guess it’s a refreshing example for a lot of our youngsters that are in the state of Wyoming that you too can have an opportunity. Maybe you’re not going to come in and do the things that Logan’s done, but we’re always going to look for players within the state. And it’s sure been great to have guys that are within the state. I think Logan’s really represented the state well.”

Wyoming’s passing attack featured seven different receivers who had catches on the day. Wyoming also finished the contest 11-of-17 on third-down conversions. The Cowboy defense held Georgia State to only 355 yards of total offense, which was nearly 100 yards below their season average.

Georgia State wasted little time getting on the board going 75-yards on six plays to open the game and took a 7-0 lead on a four-yard run from quarterback Dan Ellington. Ellington rushed for 45 yards on the opening drive to set up the score.

Wyoming got on the board the following drive with a 53-yard field goal by Cooper Rothe on the Cowboys’ first possession. It was a career long field goal for Rothe. It was also the longest field goal by the Cowboys since a 57-yarder

by Billy Vinnedge against Air Force in 2007. Rothe’s field goal made it a 7-3 game with 9:01 remaining in the opening frame.

The Pokes stormed to the lead with a pair of scores in the closing minutes of the first quarter to take a 17-7 lead. Redshirt freshman Rome Weber picked up what looked to be a fumble but was later ruled an incomplete pass on a fourth-down attempt by Georgia State. That was followed up by Williams finding Austin Conway for Williams’ first touchdown pass of his career and first touchdown catch of the season for Conway.

Wyoming’s second score came less than two minutes later after senior safety Halliburton recorded his second interception of the season and returned it to the GSU 11-yard line. Williams found Valladay on an eight-yard pass for the score for Williams’ second touchdown pass of the day.

The Panthers would add a field goal in the second quarter, and it looked like it would be a one-score game going into halftime, but a roughing the punter penalty against Georgia State would turn into a 51-yard touchdown pass from Williams to Ayden Eberhardt to make it a 24-10 game with 32 seconds remaining in the first half, and that would be the score as the half would come to an end.

The Cowboys took a 31-10 lead on a one-yard touchdown run from Valladay with 8:12 left in the third quarter. Valladay set up the score for the Brown and Gold with a 63-yard reception, which was the longest of the season for the Cowboys.

Georgia State responded with a score less than a minute later, as Ellington found Corneilus McCoy for a 44-yard strike to make it a 31-17 contest. Wyoming’s defense recorded a pair of fourth-down stops against the Georgia State offense after the Panthers reached the red zone twice in the fourth quarter.

Williams added a touchdown run for Wyoming with 1:21 remaining in the game to give the Pokes a 38-17 bowl victory.

Wyoming finished the season with an 8-5 overall record tying for the most wins in the Craig Bohl Era with the 2016 (8-6) and 2017 (8-5) campaigns. The Cowboys are now 8-8 all-time in bowl games, and have won back-to-back bowl contests, including a win in 2017 in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. That marks the first back-to-back bowl victories for the Cowboys since wins in the 2004 Las Vegas Bowl and 2009 New Mexico Bowl.

2 0 2 1 POT ATO B OW L WYOMING 52, KENT STATE 38 December 21, 2021 • Albertsons Stadium • Boise, Idaho

T

he Wyoming Cowboys concluded their 2021 season with their biggest offensive performance of the season, scoring 52 points in a 52-38 win over Kent State in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl on Tuesday in Boise, Idaho.

The 52 points were the most Wyoming had ever scored in a bowl game and were the most UW had scored this season.

It was Wyoming’s third consecutive bowl victory and second Potato Bowl

Championship, having also won the 2019 NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl and the 2017 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl.

Wyoming’s offensive attack was led by quarterback Levi Williams, who scored four rushing touchdowns and threw for a fifth TD while rushing for an even 200 yards and completing 9 of 11 passes for 127 yards and no interceptions. Williams became the first quarterback in college bowl history to rush for 200 yards, score four rushing touchdowns and pass for one TD in a bowl game.

He also tied the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl record of four rushing TDs and set a Potato Bowl record for rushing touchdowns by a quarterback. Williams was named the MVP of the game. ‘ The 200 rushing yards was a single-game career-high for Williams. It was the second 100-yard rushing game of Williams career and his first 200-yard rushing game. He had 116 rushing yards in a home win over Colorado State earlier this season. Williams also rushed for the most touchdowns in a single game by a Cowboy since Alvester Alexander had five against Colorado State on Nov. 20, 2010.

Running back Xazavaian Valladay became only the fourth Wyoming Cowboy in the 125-year history of Cowboy Football to record two 1,000-yard rushing seasons. His 87 rushing yards against Kent State gave him 1,071 rushing yards this season. He rushed for 1,265 yards in the 2019 season. Only Brian Hill (1,860 yards in 2016 and 1,631 in 2015), Ryan Christopherson ( 1,455 in 1994 and 1,042 in 1993) and Dabby Dawson (1,119 in 1988 and 1,005 in 1989) had

Smith. Neyor led the Cowboys in receiving in the game, catching five passes for 87 yards. Wyoming’s remaining points were scored by place-kicker John Hoyland, who kicked a career long field goal of 44 yards.

Cowboy linebacker Chad Muma recorded his 11th double-figure tackle game of the 2021 season, with 13 against the Golden Flashes, including a half sack. That improved his season total to 142 tackles, which ranks as the fourth best single-season total in Wyoming school history. Only linebacker Galand Thaxton (158 tackles in 1986 and 143 in 1987) and free safety John Salley (143 in 1982) have ever had more tackles in a single season in Wyoming history.

Other Cowboy defenders who had excellent days in the win over Kent State were linebacker Easton Gibbs, with 11 tackles; nose tackle Cole Godbout, who was credited with a career best 10 tackles and 1.0 sack; free safety Isaac White had seven tackles and 1.0 sack and defensive end Garrett Crall recorded 1.5 sacks.

This year’s bowl invitation marked the fourth time in six seasons that Wyoming had earned a bowl bid. That is a first in the 125-year history of Cowboy Football. The previous best for the Wyoming Football program was four bowl game appearances in seven seasons from 1987 to 1993.

Head coach Craig Bohl becomes the first head coach in Wyoming Football history to take four Cowboy teams to bowl games. Bohl was previously tied with UW Athletics Hall of Fame Coach Paul Roach, with both coaches having taken three Wyoming teams to bowl games.

Bohl also recorded his third bowl victory as Wyoming’s head coach. He improved his Wyoming record for bowl wins as a head coach. He is the only Cowboy head coach in history to capture three bowl victories -- the 2017 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, the 2019 NOVA Home Loans Arizona Bowl and the 2021 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl.

rushed for over 1,000 yards in multiple seasons prior to Valladay. Valladay also added a three-yard TD run in the win over Kent State.

The Pokes’ other two touchdowns were scored by wide receiver Isaiah Neyor, who caught a 42-yard TD pass from Williams, and by running back Trey Smith, who scored on a 49-yard touchdown run -- the first of the 2021 season for

BOWL HISTORY

2 0 2 2 A R I Z ON A B OW L WYOMING 27, Ohio 30 OT December 30, 2022 • Arizona Stadium • Tucson, Ariz.

In one of the most exciting finishes of the college bowl season, the Wyoming Cowboys took a 24-21 lead with 2:08 remaining in regulation, but the Ohio Bobcats came back to send the game to overtime with a 56-yard field goal with only four seconds remaining. In overtime, Wyoming place-kicker John Hoyland gave the Cowboys a 27-24 lead in the first OT, but on a third and eight on Ohio’s first overtime possession the Bobcats completed a 10-yard touchdown pass in the back of the end zone to capture a 30-27 win in the 2022 Barstool Sports Arizona Bowl.

“I’m really proud of these guys,” said head coach Craig Bohl following the game. “We came in as an underdog and we had tons of adversity. It was a tough game, but I’m really proud of how we battled back from behind. There are a bunch of guys hurting in that locker room.” When asked how important it was that Ohio won the coin flip and chose to go on defense first in overtime, Bohl said, “Probably not as important as it is in the NFL, but typically you know what you have to do when you get the ball second. We of course kicked the field goal on our first possession, and then Ohio knew that if they scored a touchdown they would win and their guy made a heckuva a play.”

T

history to win three bowl games (2017 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, 2019 Arizona Bowl and 2021 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl).

Another bright spot entering the offseason is the Cowboys will return the vast majority of a team that began the 2022 season as the fourth youngest squad in the country.

Among the individual highlights for the Cowboys on the night: •Sophomore place-kicker John Hoyland kicked his 21st and 22nd field goals of the 2022 season, setting a new Wyoming single-season school record.

•Sophomore linebacker Easton Gibbs recorded 10 tackles in the Arizona Bowl to improve his season total to 121. That ties him for the 18th best single-season tackle total in school history, tying him with former Cowboy linebackers Bruce Mowry (1983 season) and Jim Talich (1997 season).

•Junior tight end Treyton Welch caught a single-game best five passes for a career best 91 yards vs. Ohio.

•Redshirt freshman running back Jordon Vaughn, playing in his first game for Wyoming, carried the ball 16 times for 67 yards and scored two rushing touchdowns.

•Junior wide receiver Ryan Marquez caught a career high three passes for a career best 38 yards.

•Sophomore wide receiver Alex Brown caught a career best three passes.

The head coach was asked what words he shared with his team after the game.

“I told them not only how proud we were of them, but how much we loved them,” said Bohl. “In life, sometimes you give everything you have and sometimes the result is not always what you want it to be. We knew it was going to come down to a play here and there. In this game, there were a lots of plays that we made and lots of plays that Ohio made. I told them to hold their heads high, thank the seniors who aren’t going to be back next year and that next season starts as soon as the plane lands back in Laramie.”

For the Cowboys, it broke a three-game winning streak in bowl games. But the Cowboys ended the season with many accomplishments for a team that began the season picked to finish fifth in the Mountain Division of the Mountain West Conference. Wyoming ended the season with a 7-6 record, finished second in the MW Mountain Division and won seven games for the fifth time in the past seven seasons (2016, 2017, 2019, 2021 and 2022). UW also appeared in its fifth bowl game in the past seven seasons (2016 Poinsettia Bowl, 2017 and 2021 Famous Idaho Potato Bowls and 2019 and 2022 Arizona Bowls), which is the most successful period in the 126-year history of Cowboy Football.

Head coach Bohl has set a new standard for Cowboy football, becoming the first head coach in Wyoming Football history to take five Cowboy teams to bowl games. Bohl and his coaching staff are also the only coaching staff in school
