Wyoming Preview

The Wyoming Cowboys are a proud program, but have won just seven games over the previous two seasons.

In their season opener, Wyoming’s secondary was shredded for 242 passing yards and five touchdowns during a 35-13 road loss against Colorado State.

Wyoming cut an eight-point halftime deficit to one on a Trey Hughes nine-yard touchdown run early in the third quarter. The Cowboys were driving in Colorado State territory with a chance to take the lead, but Hughes threw a costly interception. Wyoming turned the ball over four times and failed to convert on eight third down opportunities.
