WYOMING COWBOYS EARN BOWL BID FOR SECOND STRAIGHT YEAR, WILL CONCLUDE 2017 SEASON IN FAMOUS IDAHO POTATO BOWL

F

or the second consecutive season, the Wyoming Cowboys will be going to a bowl and this year’s destination is Boise, Idaho, for the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl. Wyoming earned its way to its second straight bowl appearance by finishing second in the Mountain West’s Mountain Division, posting a 7-5 overall record and a 5-3 conference mark.

“It is a great accomplishment by our football program to earn its second consecutive bowl bid,” said University of Wyoming Athletics Director Tom Burman. “We are proud of the football program that Coach (Craig) Bohl and his staff have built as they conclude their fourth season here at Wyoming.

“We appreciate the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl Committee for recognizing the outstanding season we enjoyed this year and for inviting us to play in this year’s game.

“Our players did a great job this season of finding ways to win games and building on the success they enjoyed a year ago.

“We can’t thank our fans enough for the support they’ve showed throughout the 2017 season. That includes great support that we’ve received from our student body this past year. Our fans make War Memorial Stadium one of the great places to play in college football. We look forward to seeing many of them in Boise for the bowl game.”

“Personally, our coaching staff and our players are excited about the opportunity to play in the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl,” said Wyoming head coach Craig Bohl. “We want to thank the Bowl Committee for this opportunity.

We can’t wait to see Cowboy fans in Boise on Dec. 22.

“We’re excited about being in a bowl game for the second year in a row.

I think it is another indication of us building a program for long-term success here at the University of Wyoming.

“I know it’s been many years since Wyoming has gone to back-to-back bowl games, and we are proud of our players for achieving consecutive bowl appearances.”

Building a Consistent Winner The focus of Bohl and his staff since taking over the Wyoming program has been to build a program that consistently competes for postseason appearances and competes for conference championships. This season, the Cowboys remained in contention for the Mountain West Conference title up until the second to last weekend of the regular season. UW finished the season in second place in the Mountain Division behind eventual conference champion Boise State. A year ago, the Cowboys hosted the Mountain West Conference Championship Game before losing a three-point, 24-27, game to San Diego State. The Cowboys went on to earn a trip to the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl in 2016.

Pokes Continue to Emerge As One of the Top Teams in the Mountain West Over the past two seasons, Wyoming has won 8 of 10 games against its fellow Mountain West Mountain Division opponents. The Pokes 8-2 record within the division over the past two seasons ties with Boise State’s 8-2 divisional mark. UW went 4-1 against division opponents in both 2016 and ’17. The Cowboys have swept the season series versus Air Force, Colorado State and Utah State the past two seasons. Wyoming defeated New Mexico in Laramie in 2017, while suffering its only loss within the division in 2016 in Albuquerque. Wyoming defeated Boise State in Laramie in 2016 and led the Broncos in Boise by a score of 14-10 entering the fourth quarter of this season’s meeting before losing 14-24 to the eventual conference champion Broncos. Wyoming captured the 2016 Mountain Division title and finished second to Boise State this season.

Thrilling Finishes Highlight 2017 Season A series of thrilling finishes highlighted the 2017 Cowboy Football season.

Wyoming opened Mountain West Conference play with a 28-21 overtime win over Hawai’i in Laramie. Cowboy quarterback Josh Allen connected with wide receiver James Price on the first play of overtime for a 25-yard touchdown pass to give Wyoming a 28-21 lead. Cowboy linebacker Cassh Maluia would intercept a Hawai’i pass that was tipped at the line of scrimmage by UW defensive end Garrett Crall on the Rainbow Warriors’ overtime possession to secure the win for the Pokes. Strong safety Andrew Wingard would record nine tackles, intercept a pass and break up two others to earn Mountain West Defensive Player of the Week.

Two weeks later at Utah State, Allen would lead the Cowboys on a sevenplay, 63-yard scoring drive capped off with a 28-yard touchdown pass to C.J. Johnson to give Wyoming a 26-23 lead with only 3:45 remaining in the game.

UW defensive end Carl Granderson would tackle Utah State’s quarterback in the end zone on the Aggies’ final possession to seal a 28-23 Cowboy road win.

Another key play in that game was a pass interception by Wyoming defensive end Kevin Prosser, who returned the interception 28 yards for a TD. Granderson and cornerback Rico Gafford also joined Prosser with interceptions in the victory.

Granderson would earn his first MW Defensive Player of the Week honor for his outstanding play.

The “Snow Game”, Cowboys Capture 16-13 Win Over Rival Colorado State

ANDREW WINGARD

In a game that will be remembered as the “Snow Game” against rival Colorado State, the day turned from sunshine, to rain, to snow as Wyoming would record one of its most memorable wins in the 109-year history of the “Border War”. The Cowboys trailed for much of the game, but Wyoming’s defense kept the Cowboys in the contest, allowing only two field goals and

2017 FAM OUS IDAHO P OTATO BOWL

one touchdown by the Rams all night for a total of 13 points. Meanwhile, Wyoming’s offense put together three drives of 61, 54 and 59 yards that all resulted in field goals by place-kicker Cooper Rothe. Rothe connected from 25, 43 and 32 yards to keep the Pokes within striking distance. His 43-yard field goal was a remarkable kick, coming in difficult weather conditions on the final play of the first half. He would be named the MW Special Teams Player of the Week for his performance. Trailing 13-9 with 10:39 remaining in the game, Wyoming’s offense put together a drive for the ages. The drive began with a pass from quarterback Allen to fullback Drew Van Maanen, who made a diving catch for 17 yards. Running back Kellen Overstreet then broke a run for 16 yards on the second play of the drive, and CSU was called for a facemask penalty, taking the ball to the CSU 21-yard line. Runs of four and three yards

by Overstreet were followed by runs of five and six yards by Allen, moving the ball to the three-yard line. Overstreet carried the ball for the final three yards and the TD to give the Cowboys their first lead of the game at 16-13. The Cowboy defense would force a three-and-out on what would be Colorado State’s final drive of the game, and the UW offense would run out the final 2:38 of the game to give the Cowboys the victory and the right to retain the “Bronze Boot” traveling trophy. It was the 50th game in the Battle for the Bronze Boot portion of the series that began in 1968. Wyoming now holds a two-game lead in that series, with 26 wins to CSU’s 24.

“I am certainly proud of our team for that final scoring drive,” said Bohl.

“I was proud of Drew Van Maanen coming up with a big catch. He had not only one stinger but two on the play. It was a remarkable game.

“You talk about the will and desire of this football team. Our culture has changed in the locker room and those guys do everything they can to win a football game the right way. This was a classic Wyoming Cowboy win.”

Big Wins vs. New Mexico and Air Force Solidified Cowboys Second-Place Finish in MW Mountain Division In addition to the three close conference victories over Hawai’i, Utah State and Colorado State, the Cowboys also recorded two convincing wins over New Mexico and on the road at Air Force to solidify their second-place finish in the Mountain West Mountain Division.

When Wyoming hosted New Mexico for Homecoming, the Pokes were coming off a disappointing loss at Boise State that saw the Cowboys take a 14-10 lead into the fourth quarter before falling 14-24 to the Broncos. But the Cowboys came out focused and had a night to remember as they forced seven New Mexico turnovers on way to a 42-3 home victory. The seven takeaways were a Wyoming school record, and included five interceptions and two fumble recoveries off muffed punts by the Lobos.

The Pokes forced five of those seven turnovers in the first half and scored 35 points off those turnovers as they built a 42-0 halftime lead. Two of Wyoming’s five interceptions were made by strong safety Wingard, marking the first time in his career that he had two interceptions in a game. He would earn Mountain West Defensive Player of the Week honors for his performance. For the second time in the 2017 season, defensive ends Granderson and Prosser each intercepted a pass in the same game – the other game being against Utah State. Cornerback Tyler Hall was the fourth Cowboy to come up with an interception vs. the Lobos. The two fumbled punts were recovered by tight end Tyree Mayfield and cornerback Braden Smith.

The Cowboy offense converted all five of the first-half turnovers into touchdowns, and put together another 80-yard, seven-play TD drive for the sixth first-half touchdown. Allen was named the Mountain West Offensive Player of the Week for completing 16 of 28 passes (57.1 percent) for 234 yards, throwing 4 passing touchdowns, no interceptions, rushing for 20 yards and one rushing TD and accounting for 254 yards of total offense.

Wide receiver James Price had four receptions for 68 yards. Fellow wide receiver C.J. Johnson had two catches for 44 yards and one TD reception, and tight end Austin Fort had two catches for 15 yards -- both going for touchdowns -- plus one rush of two yards for a TD. Turnovers would also key Wyoming’s win on the road at Air Force. On the first possession of the game, Cowboy free safety Marcus Epps would intercept the Falcon quarterback setting up the Wyoming offense for its first touchdown of the game. The second quarter would begin the same way as UW linebacker Jalen Ortiz would recover a Falcon fumble, leading to a Wyoming touchdown

CARL GRANDERSON

two plays later. The Pokes would add a third first-half touchdown to take a 21-0 lead on way to a 21-7 halftime score. On the Falcons’ first possession of the fourth quarter, the Cowboy defense would recover a second fumble, this time by defensive end Garrett Crall. Back-up quarterback Nick Smith, who was in for an injured Allen, would lead the Cowboys on a six-play, 67-yard drive, including a 38-yard pass from Smith to running back Trey Woods. Running back Overstreet would carry the ball in from nine yards out to give UW a 28-14 lead, and that is how the game would end. It was Wyoming’s sixth win in a seven-game stretch.

Dominating Defense Plays Big Role in Wyoming’s 2017 Success Wyoming’s success in 2017 has been due in large part to a dominating defensive unit. The Cowboys ranked No. 13 in the nation in scoring defense, allowing opponents only 17.8 points per game, and ranked No. 21 in the nation in total defense, giving up only 332.8 yards per game. The Wyoming defense held six opponents to 14 points or less in 2017. In a four-game stretch starting in late October through mid-November, the Pokes held all four of their opponents to 14 or fewer points (New Mexico – 3 points, Colorado State – 13, Air Force 14 and Fresno State 13). That was the first time a Wyoming team had held opponents to that few points for four games in a row since 1969.

UW has been particularly effective at defending opponents’ passing attacks. The Pokes have allowed opponents only 160.7 passing yards per game, which ranks No. 5 in the NCAA. The Cowboys have also been one of the best teams in the nation in forcing turnovers. UW ended the regular season ranked No. 2 in the nation in takeaways, with 30, intercepting 16 passes and recovering 14 fumbles to rank No. 11 and No. 4 in the NCAA, respectively. The only team that ranked ahead of the Cowboys in total takeaways this season is their opponent in this year’s Famous Idaho Potato Bowl – Central Michigan. The Chippewas forced 31 turnovers on the season.

Opportunistic Offense Not only has the Cowboy defense generated 30 turnovers, but the Wyoming offense has converted those turnovers into points. The UW offense scored on 17 possessions immediately following a takeaway and generated 99 points on those 17 possessions. That equated to 37 percent of Wyoming’s total points scored this season of 268.

The Wyoming offense has been one of the most effective in the nation once entering the red zone. In the 30 times UW has entered the red zone, the Cowboys have scored on 29 of those 30 opportunities to rank No. 3 in the nation.

Wingard was twice named MW Defensive Player of the Week in 2017 for his performances versus Hawai’i and New Mexico. He had one interception and nine tackles versus Hawai’i and two interceptions and five tackles vs. New Mexico.

Wingard had five double-figure tackles games in 2017 (15 vs. Boise State and Utah State, 14 vs. Oregon, 12 vs. Fresno State and 10 at San Jose State).

And when it came down to scoring in key situations, the Pokes’ offense created three game-winning scoring drives late in games. The Cowboy offense scored the game-winning touchdown in overtime vs. Hawai’i, scored a fourthquarter winning TD at Utah State and scored the game-winner in the fourth quarter versus Colorado State.

The offense also did an outstanding job of protecting the ball, committing only 14 turnovers all season to rank No. 25 in the nation in that category, and helped the Cowboys rank No. 1 in the country in turnover margin.

Special, Special Teams Explosive special teams play made a major contribution to Wyoming’s success in 2017. Cowboy kick returner Tyler Hall has led the Cowboys to the No. 1 ranking in the nation in kickoff returns as a team. Hall also wrote his name in the Wyoming record book becoming the first player in school history to return two kickoffs for touchdowns in both a single season and a career. He returned his first kickoff for a TD 97 yards against Hawai’i. The following week, he returned a kickoff 95 yards for a touchdown versus Texas State. Seven former Cowboys had returned one kickoff for a TD in their careers, but Hall became the first to record two. Those seven Cowboys who had one kickoff return TD in their careers were: Devin Moore (2007), Alex English (1999), Peter Gunn (1988), Archie Gray (1972), Vic Washington (1966), Dick Behning (1960) and Sonny Jones (1948).

Outstanding Individual Play Earns Cowboys Postseason Honors

Carl Granderson (Junior, Defensive End, Sacramento, Calif.)

Granderson earned the first All-Mountain West Conference recognition of his career by leading the Mountain West and ranking No. 15 in the nation in sacks, averaging 0.71 sacks per game (8.5 total sacks). He also was No. 1 in the MW and No. 27 nationally in tackles for loss (1.3 TFLs per game, 15.0 total TFLs). Granderson led all Mountain West defensive linemen in tackles, averaging 6.0 per game (72 total tackles). He also helped the Cowboys rank No. 2 in the conference and No. 38 in the nation in sacks as a team. The Cowboys sacked opposing quarterbacks 28 times in 2017 for an average of 2.33 per game. Granderson was named MW Defensive Player of the Week for his performance vs. Utah State when he had six tackles, intercepted a pass and recorded a safety to seal the win for the Cowboys. He also had 12 tackles at Boise State, including 3.0 sacks and 3.5 tackles for loss. He intercepted the second pass of his career versus New Mexico.

Youhanna Ghaifan (Sophomore, DT, Grand Island, Neb.) Ghaifan was named First Team All-Mountain West as a sophomore. He ranked second among all MW defensive linemen in tackles (5.8 tackles per game), trailing only his teammate Granderson. Ghaifan had 13.0 tackles for loss to rank No. 3 in the league, and he recorded 5.0 sacks to rank No. 6 in the Mountain West. He helped the Cowboys rank No. 2 in the MW and No. 38 in the nation in sacks, averaging 2.33 sacks per game as a team, and rank No. 2 in the conference and No. 36 nationally in tackles for loss, averaging 6.80 tackles for loss per game. His best game of the season came in a road win at Air Force when he recorded 11 tackles, 1.0 sack and 2.0 tackles for loss.

LOGAN WILSON

When the Mountain West Conference released its 2017 All-Conference Football Team seven Wyoming Cowboys were honored. For the first time since Wyoming has been a member of the Mountain West Conference, three Cowboys were named to the First Team defensive unit. Junior strong safety Andrew Wingard earned First Team honors for the second consecutive season.

He was joined on the All-Mountain West First Team by junior defensive end Carl Granderson and sophomore defensive tackle Youhanna Ghaifan. It was the first All-Conference honor for both Granderson and Ghaifan.

Two other Cowboy defenders were named to the All-MW Second Team.

Those two were sophomore linebacker Logan Wilson and senior cornerback Rico Gafford. Wilson was recognized by the Mountain West for the second straight season. He was honored a year ago as the MW Freshman of the Year.

Gafford received the first All-Conference recognition of his career.

The final two Cowboys to be recognized were junior quarterback Josh Allen and sophomore kick return specialist Tyler Hall, who both earned Honorable Mention honors. Allen was honored for the second straight year. He was a Second Team choice in 2016. Hall earned his first All-Conference honor.

The All-Conference Team was selected in a vote of the 12 Mountain West head football coaches and media members from across the Mountain West.

2017 FAM OUS IDAHO P OTATO BOWL

Wyoming Second Team All-Mountain West Selections Logan Wilson (Sophomore, Linebacker, Casper, Wyo.) Wilson earned Second Team All-Mountain West recognition as a sophomore. Wilson tied for the team lead in tackles with teammate Wingard, both had 111 tackles during the regular season. Among MW linebackers, Wilson ranked fifth in tackles, averaging 9.3 tackles per game. He ranked No. 29 in the nation in total tackles. Wilson also ranked No. 3 in the conference and No. 10 in the NCAA in solo tackles, averaging 5.9 per game. He led the Cowboys in solo tackles with 71. He scored the third defensive touchdown of his career versus Texas State earlier this season. Wilson helped the Cowboys rank No. 2 in the Mountain West and No. 17 in the nation as a team in defensive touchdowns, with three on the season.

Rico Gafford (Senior, Cornerback, West Des Moines, Iowa) Gafford joined teammate Wilson on the All-Mountain West Second Team.

Gafford shared the team lead in interceptions with Wingard, picking off four passes as a senior. That ranked Gafford No. 3 in the conference and No. 36 in the nation in interceptions. He led the Cowboys in passes defended (interceptions + pass breakups), and ranked No. 8 in the conference in that category. Gafford ended the regular season with 10 total passes defended (4 interceptions and 6 PBUs). Gafford’s play helped the Cowboys rank No. 1 in the MW and No. 11 nationally as a team in interceptions. UW intercepted a total of 16 passes in 2017.

Wyoming Honorable Mention All-Mountain West Selections Josh Allen (Junior, Quarterback, Firebaugh, Calif.)

Allen led a very young Cowboy offense in 2017. The junior engineered three game-winning scoring drives late in games this season versus Hawai’i (in overtime), at Utah State (with 3:45 remaining in the 4th quarter) and versus Colorado State (with 4:21 left in the 4th quarter). The leadership the two-year team captain showed throughout the season was immeasurable as he helped lead Wyoming to a 7-5 record and a second-place finish in the Mountain Division at 5-3. Allen ranked No. 5 in the league in points responsible for (10.8 points per game) and No. 6 in pass completions per game (14.10 completions per game). Allen threw 13 touchdown passes this season and only six interceptions, while rushing for another five TDs. He has helped lead the Cowboys to back-to-back winning seasons and back-to-back bowl appearances the past two seasons. He was unable to play the final two games of the regular season after suffering a shoulder injury in a road win at Air Force, but he has publicly stated that he wants to play in the Cowboys’ bowl game if healthy and is doing everything to rehab his shoulder and be ready on Dec. 22 for the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl.

Tyler Hall (Sophomore, Return Specialist, Hawthorne, Calif.)

Hall accomplished something in 2017 that no player in the history of Wyoming Football had ever accomplished -- he returned two kickoffs for touchdowns in the same season. Hall returned a kickoff 97 yards for a touchdown against Hawai’i and the very next week returned one 95 yards for a TD against Texas State. Hall tied for No. 1 in the Mountain West and No. 5 in the nation in kickoff return TDs. He averaged 34.5 yards per return, which would have led the MW in kickoff returns and would have ranked him No. 3 nationally, but he fell just under the NCAA minimum of 1.2 returns per game in order to be ranked. He returned 13 kickoffs in 12 games this season (1.08 returns per game) for 448 yards. Hall helped Wyoming, as a team, rank No. 1 in the MW and No. 1 in the nation in kickoff returns (29.50 yards per return).

Cowboy Defenders Wingard, Wilson and Epps In Select Group of NCAA Active Leaders Wyoming’s outstanding defensive trio of Andrew Wingard, Logan Wilson and Marcus Epps not only have made their mark on the Cowboy Football program, but they have made their mark nationally. Wingard, Wilson and Epps rank among the top active FBS players in total tackles and solo tackles for their careers.

In solo tackles, Wingard ranks No. 2 nationally, averaging 5.92 solo tackles per game for his career. Wilson ranks 13th in the solo tackle category (4.85 solo tackles per game) and Epps ranks 21st (4.62 solo tackles per game).

YOUHANNA GHAIFAN

In total tackles, Wingard is No. 3 among all active FBS players, averaging 9.58 per game. Wilson averages 7.88 tackles per game for his career to rank No. 15. Epps averages 7.00 tackles per game for his career to rank No. 34 nationally.

Several 2017 Cowboys Among the Best Ever in Wyoming History There are several members of the 2017 Cowboy squad that not only have posted some of the best individual seasons in University of Wyoming history, but they rank among the greatest in school history.

Junior safety Wingard has risen to the No. 6 position in career tackles at Wyoming. He will enter this bowl season with 364 career tackles. He is only 103 tackles away from the school record with one year of eligibility remaining at Wyoming. Wingard also joined a very exclusive club this season as he recorded his third consecutive 100-tackle season, with 111 tackles. That makes Wingard only the third Cowboy in 121 seasons of Wyoming Football to accomplish that feat. He joins former Cowboy greats John Salley, a free safety who had 100-tackle seasons in 1980, ’81 and ’82; and Jim Talich, a linebacker who recorded three 100-tackles seasons in 1995, ’96 and ’97.

Junior quarterback Allen concluded the regular season ranked No. 8 in career total offense (5,682 yards) and No. 8 in career passing yards (4,912 yards) in Wyoming history. Allen’s 54 touchdowns responsible for (passing, rushing and receiving TDs) ranks No. 4 in school history, and his 41 touchdown passes ranks him No. 5 in the Wyoming record book.

Sophomore kick returner Hall is of course now the Wyoming record-holder in kickoffs returned for touchdowns with two.

Cowboys Have Bright Future With Relatively Young Team Returning for Next Season The Wyoming Cowboys have enjoyed another successful season in 2017, and they have achieved that success with a relatively young team. A look at who has started and played for the Cowboys thus far this season indicates that of the 37 players who have started at least one game this season, only six are seniors.

The junior class (13 starters) and sophomore class (11 starters) lead in that category. There have been seven freshmen start at least one game in 2017.

In terms of the 70 players who have appeared in at least one game for the Cowboys this season, the combination of true freshmen and redshirt freshmen lead the way with 23. The other individuals who have played include: 18 sophomores, 20 juniors and only nine seniors.

The Cowboys’ future also looks bright due to the fact that head coach Craig Bohl signed a contract extension following the 2016 season that runs through the 2023 season. In four years at Wyoming, the Cowboy head coach and his staff have taken the Cowboys to consecutive winning seasons and consecutive bowl appearances the past two years, while also challenging for the Mountain West Conference Championship in both 2016 and ’17.

The Pokes now turn their attention to finishing the 2017 season on a positive note as they seek a win in the 2017 Famous Idaho Potato Bowl

CRAIG BOHL (Nebraska ‘82)

Head Coach, University of Wyoming

hen Craig Bohl was hired as head football coach at the University of Wyoming, he was open in saying he wanted to return Cowboy Football to a place of national prominence. As he concludes his fourth season at Wyoming, Bohl has made great strides in achieving that goal. Bohl led Wyoming to its second consecutive winning season and second consecutive bowl appearance in 2017. Wyoming once again challenged for the 2017 Mountain West Conference title, staying in the conference race up until the second to last week of the season. The 2017 Cowboys were one of the top defensive teams in the nation, ranking No. 13 in the NCAA in scoring defense (allowing opponents only 17.8 points per game), No. 21 in total defense (allowing only 332.8 yards per game) and No. 5 in pass defense (160.7 yards allowed per game).

Wyoming also ranked No. 2 in the nation in takeaways, forcing 30 opponent turnovers.

In 2016, Wyoming 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 and was invited to the San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl. Bohl’s Cowboys ended the year as one of the NCAA’s top scoring offenses, averaging 35.9 points per game to rank No. 25 in the nation. Bohl was named the 2016 Mountain West Conference Coach of the Year in voting by conference head coaches and media.

During Bohl’s time at Wyoming, two Cowboys earned AllAmerica honors in 2016 in running back Brian Hill and center Chase Roullier. Linebacker Logan Wilson earned Freshman All-America honors in 2016, joining Andrew Wingard, who earned Freshman All-America honors a year earlier.

Bohl, who was part of building National Championship teams at North Dakota Staate and Nebraska, was introduced

by University of Wyoming Athletics Director Tom Burman as the new head football coach of the Wyoming Cowboys on Sunday, Dec. 8, 2013. Bohl became the 32nd head football coach in University of Wyoming history.

He 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

16

consecutive wins (24 from 2011-13) and became the first undefeated FCS National Champion since 1996.

“Rarely do you get an oppor tunity to hire a head coach who has won multiple National Championships and has a reputation as a program builder,” said Burman.

“I am absolutely confident we hired one of the best football coaches in the country. All you have to do is look at Craig’s record.”

“I understand the awesome responsibility to lead this football team,” said Bohl. “I also understand how important football is in the fabric of this institution and not only this institution but around the state. Whether you’re in Sheridan, Casper or Thermopolis, this is the state team, and I embrace that.

“I’m looking forward to getting to know the people of our great state of Wyoming. It will be an exciting time for us. We understand that the bar is high. I also appreciate the vision that Tom (Burman) has, and I want to thank him for having faith in me to lead this football program. He was able to articulate to me where our football program needs to go and the resources that are going to be provided to allow us to experience success.

“I can’t tell you how excited I am to embrace the Cowboy tradition.”

Not only has Bohl won three national titles at the FCS level, but he was the linebackers coach at his alma mater, Nebraska, when the Huskers won the 1995 and 1997 National Championships.

Bohl currently serves on the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) Board of Trustees, having been elected by a vote of the membership at the 2012 AFCA national convention. He was also appointed to the 13-member NCAA Division I Football Competition Committee in January of 2017.

Bohl concluded his career as head coach of the NDSU Bison, with a 104-32 (.765) record. He guided the Bison to the FCS Playoffs each of his final four seasons, posting a 14-1 record in the FCS Playoffs. His last three teams posted records of 14-1 (2011), 14-1 (2012) and 15-0 (2013) for a combined record of 43-2 (.956) on way to their three consecutive FCS national titles.

By winning the 2013 FCS National Championship, Nor th Dakota State extended its winning streak to 24 consecutive games, which tied both the NDSU and FCS records for consecutive victories. The Bison teams from 1964-66 originally set the school record with 24

straight victories. The University of Pennsylvania set the FCS record of 24 consecutive wins from 1992-95. That record was later tied by Montana from 2001-02.

The 2013 NDSU team also set a North Dakota State single-season record for wins, posting a perfect 15-0 record. The Bison became the first undefeated FCS National Champion since Marshall went 15-0 to win the 1996 FCS title.

The Bison had great success against FBS teams to go with their elite status at the FCS level. In each of his last four seasons at NDSU, Bohl’s Bison defeated all four of the FBS teams they faced, and captured all of those wins on the road. NDSU won at Kansas in 2010 (by a score of 6-3), at Minnesota in 2011 (37-24), at Colorado State in 2012 (22-7), and at Kansas State in 2013 (24-21). Overall during his 11 years at North Dakota State, Bohl’s teams built a 7-3 record against FBS teams.

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.

He was also a finalist for The Sports Network Eddie Robinson Award in 2011, 2007 and 2006, and was the 2011 and 2013 AFCA Region 4 FCS Coach of the Year.

His North Dakota State teams were built on an exciting West Coast offense and a physical, aggressive defense. In the 2013 season, North Dakota State’s offense ranked No. 7 in the nation in rushing offense (257.3 yards per game), No. 10 in scoring offense (38.7 points per game) and No. 14 in total offense (457.5 ypg). The Bison defense ranked No. 1 in the nation in scoring defense (11.3 points allowed per game), No. 2 in the nation in pass defense efficiency (97.59 rating), No. 3 in rushing defense (91.3 yards allowed per game) and were No. 3 in total defense (255.9 yards allowed per game). The Bison led all FCS teams in scoring defense three consecutive seasons (2011-13).

In addition to his 15 years of experience as a head coach,

2017 FAM OUS IDAHO P OTATO BOWL

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 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. Bohl’s final three seasons (2000-02) at Nebraska, he served as the Cornhuskers’ defensive coordinator under head coach Frank Solich, before accepting the headcoaching job at North Dakota State in 2003. Bohl was part of 11 bowl-game appearances while at Nebraska -- eight as an assistant coach from 1995 to 2002 and three as a graduate assistant coach for the Huskers from 1981-83.

As the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Duke in 1994, he helped coach the Blue Devils to the Hall of Fame Bowl in his only season at Duke.

Bohl’s North Dakota State teams were ranked in The Sports Network or FCS Coaches Top 25 polls for 107 weeks since beginning FCS play in 2004, and earned the No. 1 ranking in both the final 2011, 2012 and 2013 polls, including being named a unanimous No. 1 following the 2013 campaign. The Bison’s record versus FCS Top 25 ranked teams under Bohl’s direction was 30-8.

From 2004-2007, Bohl helped lead Nor th Dakota State through its transition to the NCAA FCS level. During that transition period, his teams posted back-to-back 10-1 seasons in 2006 and 2007, but weren’t eligible for postseason play due to NCAA rules regarding teams moving up a division.

During his time in Fargo, N.D., Bohl coached 10 Academic All-Americans and 37 All-Americans, while six studentathletes in the last 10 years were named to the Allstate/AFCA Good Works team. He added a seventh Allstate/AFCA Good Works team member in 2014 at Wyoming, when senior wide receiver Dominic Rufran earned that honor.

Bohl grew up in Lincoln, Neb., and went on to attend the University of Nebraska where he was a reserve defensive back from 1977 to 1979 under head coach Tom Osborne.

Bohl was part of Nebraska’s 1979 Orange Bowl and 1980 Cotton Bowl teams.

The 2016 season will be Bohl’s 37th year coaching at the college level. He began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at his alma mater in 1981, assisting with the Nebraska linebackers and defensive backs for three seasons from 1981-83. His first full-time coaching position came at North Dakota State in 1984, coaching the defensive backs. He moved on to coach the linebackers at the University of Tulsa for the 1985 and ‘86 seasons. In 1987 and ‘88, Bohl was the linebackers coach at the University of Wisconsin. He earned his first defensive coordinator position in 1989 at Rice, where he served as the defensive coordinator for five seasons from 1989-93. In 1994, Bohl

accepted the defensive coordinator position at Duke. The following season in 1995, he had the opportunity to return to Nebraska as the linebackers coach, and in his first season back in Lincoln the Huskers won the National Championship.

Two seasons later, they captured their second National Championship during Bohl’s time as an assistant coach.

Born July 27, 1958, Bohl will be 59 years old when the 2017 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.

Brent Vigen was elevated to Associate Head Coach in the spring of 2017. He continued in his roles as offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach for the fourth consecutive season in 2017, and concluded his 20th year as a college coach and his ninth as an offensive coordinator. In 2017, Vigen helped lead the Cowboys to their second consecutive winning season and second consecutive bowl appearance. Vigen has coached junior quarterback Josh Allen, who is one of the top rated college quarterbacks in the nation by numerous NFL Draft experts. Allen was named to 2017 watch lists for the Maxwell Award, Davey O’Brien Award, Walter Camp Award and Manning Award. Vigen’s offense, while very young in 2017, generated three game-winning drives versus Hawai’i, Utah State and Colorado State. The Wyoming offense was one of the most efficient in red-zone situations, converting 29 of 30 red-zone opportunities (96.7 percent) to rank No. 3 in the nation.

Vigen was part of a coaching staff that led Wyoming to the 2016 Mountain Division title and earned the Cowboys the right to host the Mountain West Conference Championship Game. Wyoming also earned a berth in the 2016 San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl. Four members of the 2016 Wyoming offense earned spots on NFL rosters in 2017, including wide receiver Tanner Gentry, running back Brian Hill, tight end Jacob Hollister and center Chase Roullier.

The 2016 Cowboy offense averaged 35.9 points per game to rank No. 2 in the Mountain West and No. 25 in the nation. The passing game, averaged 15.3 yards per completion to rank No. 8 in the NCAA, and in red-zone offense the Pokes converted 90.6 percent of their red-zone opportunities into scores to rank 14th in the country. Wyoming’s offense ranked No. 1 in the MW and No. 22 in the NCAA in first downs (312), was No. 32 in the nation in time of possession (31:34), ranked No. 33 in the country in passing efficiency (143.82 rating) and No. 36 in the nation in rushing offense, averaging 205.4 yards per game. Running back Brian Hill earned Third Team All-America honors from College Sports Madness and center Chase Roullier was named Second Team All-American

by USA Today. Tight end Jacob Hollister joined Hill and Roullier as First Team All-Mountain West selections, and quarterback Josh Allen and wide receiver Tanner Gentry earned Second Team All-MW honors. Hill was one of 10 national semifinalists for the Doak Walker Award. Roullier was named to the Outland Trophy and Rotary Lombardi Award Watch Lists, and Gentry was named to the Biletnikoff Award Watch List. Hill was selected in the fifth round of the 2017 NFL Draft by the Atlanta Falcons. Roullier was drafted in the sixth round by the Washington Redskins. Gentry signed a free-agent contract with the Chicago Bears, and Hollister signed as a free agent with the New England Patriots.

In 2015, Vigen’s offense had two individuals earn All-Mountain West honors as sophomore running back Hill and junior offensive lineman Roullier both earned Second Team All-Conference honors. Hill was one of 11 semifinalists for the Doak Walker Award in 2015 and was the only semifinalist from a non-Power Five conference. Junior wide receiver Gentry was also named to the Biletnikoff Award Watch List in 2015. The 2015 Wyoming offense ranked sixth in the Mountain West in passing efficiency, with a rating of 135.0.

Vigen’s 2014 Cowboy offense featured Biletnikoff Award Watch List receiver Dominic Rufran, who was invited to a free-agent camp by the Atlanta Falcons following his senior season. Another Cowboy senior, offensive tackle Connor Rains, signed as a free agent with the Denver Broncos following the 2014 season. Vigen’s Wyoming offense was very effective at protecting the ball in 2014, committing only 18 turnovers to rank No. 4 in the MW and No. 33 in the nation.

Vigen served as the offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach at North Dakota State under current Wyoming head coach Craig Bohl from 2009-13. He began his college coaching career at his alma mater, NDSU, in 1998.

Vigen was the offensive coordinator for each of North Dakota State’s three consecutive FCS National Championships in 2011, ‘12 and ‘13. In 2013, Vigen’s offense at North Dakota State ranked No. 10 in the nation in scoring offense (38.7 points per game), No. 7 in rushing offense (257.3 yards per game), No. 14 in total offense (457.5 yards per game), No. 1 in third-down efficiency (55.4%), No. 3 in passing efficiency (164.9) and No. 6 in red-zone offense (89.2%). The 2013 NDSU offense also was one of only 12 FCS teams to average 200+ yards rushing and 200+ yards passing per game. The 2012 Bison offense ranked No. 7 in the nation in third-down efficiency (50.7%) and No. 16 in red-zone offense (89.2%). Vigen’s 2011 offense ranked No. 5 in the country in red-zone offense (91.1%).

From 2011 through 2013, Vigen helped NDSU to a 43-2 (.956) overall record and a 22-2 (.917) Missouri Valley Football Conference (MVFC) mark on way to its three consecutive FCS national titles. The 2013 NDSU squad became the first undefeated (15-0) FCS National Champion since Marshall went 15-0 to win the 1996 title. That 15-0 record by the Bison also set a North Dakota State school record. NDSU extended its winning streak to 24 consecutive games with the 2013 FCS Championship. That tied both the FCS and NDSU records for consecutive victories. The University of Pennsylvania set the FCS record of 24 consecutive wins from 1992-95. Montana later tied the record from 2001-02. The NDSU record was originally set from 1964-66.

Vigen coached quarterback Brock Jensen, who earned Third Team All-America honors from the Associated Press in 2013 and went on to sign a free-agent contract with the Miami Dolphins in the Spring of 2014. Jensen was named the Missouri Valley Football Conference Offensive Player of the Year in 2013. He also was named the: 2012 and 2013 NCAA Division I Championship Game MVP; the 2012 and 2013 College Sporting News FCS Playoff MVP; and the 2013 College Sports Journal FCS Playoff MVP. Jensen ranked: No. 4 in the country in points responsible for in 2013 (264 points); No. 5 in the nation in passing efficiency (167.4 rating); No. 5 in passing TDs (34); No. 9 in the nation in completion percentage (66.3 percent); and No. 23 in passing yards (2,793). Jensen set North Dakota State single-season passing records in 2011, throwing for 2,524 yards and broke that record with 2,793 passing yards in 2013. He concluded his career as North Dakota State’s career passing leader, with 8,598 passing yards.

The 2013 Bison offense featured three All-Americans. In addition to Jensen earning Third Team AP All-America honors, offensive tackle Billy Turner was named a Consensus All-American and fullback Andrew Grothmann earned First Team All-America recognition from The Sports Network.

In 2011, ‘12 and ‘13, the NDSU offense featured a pair of 1,000-yard rushers. The 2011 season was the first time in NDSU school history that the Bison offense featured two 1,000-yard rushers and a 1,000-yard receiver in the same season. Sam Ojuri rushed for 1,105 yards, and DJ McNorton tallied 1,020, while receiver Warren Holloway had 1,003 receiving yards. In 2012, Ojuri (1,047 yards) and John Crockett (1,038) each rushed for 1,000 yards. The 2013 season saw Ojuri (1,398) and Crockett (1,277) duplicate their 1,000-yard seasons of the previous year, while Vigen’s 2013 offense also featured 1,000-yard receiver Zach Vraa (1,191 receiving yards).

Vigen began his college coaching career as a graduate assistant for the Bison from 1998-2000. He became a full-time coach in 2001, coaching the NDSU tight ends in 2001 and the quarterbacks in 2002. He remained at his alma mater as the running backs coach in 2003 when Craig Bohl became head coach of the Bison. From 2004-08, Vigen was elevated to passing game coordinator and quarterbacks coach, and in 2009 he was named offensive coordinator and continued to coach the Bison QBs. He coached two-time All-America tight end Jared Peck in 2000 and 2001. Peck went on to sign a free-agent contract with the Denver Broncos.

Vigen helped to develop two-time Great West Football Conference Player of the Year, quarterback Steve Walker, who earned the honor in 2006 and 2007. North Dakota State was 8th in rushing offense (219.82 ypg) and 19th in total offense (400.09 ypg) in the 2009 NCAA Division I FCS statistics.

Running back Pat Paschall led the FCS in rushing yards per game (139.7) in 2009.

As a player, Vigen was a tight end for the Bison from 1993-97. He was part of three NCAA Division II Playoff squads in 1994, ‘95 and ‘97. In 1994, he helped lead NDSU to the North Central Quarterfinals in Conference (NCC) Championship. The Bison advanced to the NCAA Division II Quarterfi 1994 and ‘95 and the First Round of the 1997 Playoffs.

A native of Buxton, N.D., Vigen earned his bachelor’s degree from NDSU in 1998 and completed his master’s degree, also from North Dakota State in 2000. He and his wife, Molly, have three boys, Jake, Grant and Luke. Molly played basketball at NDSU and was a member of the 1996 NCAA Division II National Championship team and three NCC title squads.

SCOTTIE HAZELTON (Fort Lewis ‘97) Defensive Coordinator/Linebackers

Scottie Hazelton was hired as Wyoming Defensive Coordinator and Linebackers Coach in January of 2017.

Under his leadership, the Wyoming defense enjoyed an outstanding season in 2017. The Cowboys ranked 13th in the nation in scoring defense (17.8 points allowed per game), 21st in total defense (332.8 yards allowed per game), No. 5 in pass defense (160.7 yards allowed per game) and ranked No. 2 in the nation in takeaways (30 turnovers forced).

“Scottie Hazelton brings a great body of experience, having coached in the NFL, in the PAC-12 and the Mountain West,” said Bohl. “Most importantly, he was an architect of the start of our great defenses that we had at North Dakota State.

“Scottie and I have a long history together. We’re excited about welcoming him, Brooke and their family to Wyoming. He hails from Colorado, so he is very familiar with this area. Scottie will add a great deal of vision coordinating our defense -- a defense he has many years of experience in running.”

“I’m so excited to become a Cowboy,” said Hazelton. “Even though I’ve never lived in Wyoming, it feels like I’m coming home because of the history I have with Craig (Bohl) and his staff. I’m honored and humbled to have the opportunity to help continue the tradition and culture of Cowboy Football. I’m anxious to get started. Go Pokes!”

For the 2014-16 seasons, Hazelton served as the assistant linebackers coach with the Jacksonville Jaguars of the NFL. In the 2016 season, the Jaguars ranked sixth out of the 32 NFL teams in total defense, allowing opponents only 321.7 yards per game. The Jacksonville defense also ranked No. 5 in pass defense, giving up only 215.2 yards per game. Hazelton worked with linebacker Paul Posluszny, who in 2016 ranked No. 8 among all NFL players in total tackles, with 133 and in 2015 ranked No. 2 in the NFL in tackles per game, averaging 9.5. Another Jaguar linebacker that Hazelton assisted coaching was Telvin Smith, who tied for 16th in the NFL in tackles in 2016, with 118, and tied for sixth in the NFL in 2015, with 128 tackles.

Prior to earning the opportunity to coach in the NFL for three seasons, Hazelton coached 18 years at the college level. He served as the defensive coordinator at Mountain West member Nevada in 2013. Hazelton was the linebackers coach at USC in 2012 on a team that earned a Sun Bowl berth versus Georgia Tech.

Hazelton was part of Bohl’s staff at North Dakota State for the 2007-11 seasons. His final two seasons with the Bison, Hazelton served as defensive coordinator and linebacker coach. His first season as defensive coordinator in 2010, NDSU’s defense ranked No. 7 nationally in both scoring defense (allowing only 18.21 points per game) and turnover margin (+1.07 per game), was 15th in pass efficiency defense (105.7 rating) and ranked 19th in sacks (2.57 per game).

In 2011, the Bison defense ranked No. 1 in the nation in scoring defense (allowing only 12.73 points per game), was No. 8 in turnover margin (+1.20 per game), ranked 17th in rushing defense (118.73 yards per game), was 19th in sacks (2.67 per game) and was 20th in total defense (315.93 yards per game).

He was the defensive line coach for NDSU from 2007-09. In 2008, North Dakota State led the FCS in pass defense (116.82 yards per game), ranked second in sacks (3.36 per game), fififth in total defense (254.0 yards per game), fififth in tackles for loss (8.55 per game) and 19th in scoring defense (19.18 points per game allowed).

Mike Bath has coached the Wyoming running backs through the most successful period in that position’s history at Wyoming. The 2017 season marked Bath’s fourth season coaching the Cowboy running backs and fullbacks. He completed his 14th season as a coach at the college level in 2017. Bath coached senior fullback Drew Van Maanen, who was one of the national semifinalists for the 2017 National Football Foundation William V. Campbell Scholar-Athlete Award. In 2017, Bath helped lead the Cowboys to their second consecutive winning season and second consecutive bowl appearance. While the 2017 Cowboy offense was very young, it generated three game-winning drives versus Hawai’i, Utah State and Colorado State. The Wyoming offense was one of the most efficient in red-zone situations, converting 29 of 30 red-zone opportunities (96.7 percent) to rank No. 3 in the nation. Bath helped coordinate Wyoming’s special teams that ranked No. 1 in the nation in kickoff returns, averaging 29.50 yards per return. The Cowboy special teams also ranked No. 28 in punt return defense, allowing opponents only 4.91 yards per return, and ranked No. 29 in punt returns, averaging 10.52 yards per return. Kickoff return specialist Tyler Hall wrote his name into the Wyoming record books, returning two kickoff returns for touchdowns in 2017, becoming the only player in school history to return two kickoffs for TDs in a single season and a career. Hall earned Honorable Mention All-Mountain West honors as a return specialist. Punt returner Austin Conway also ranked No. 18 in the nation in punt returns (10.5 yards per return).

Bath was part of a coaching staff that led Wyoming to the 2016 Mountain Division title and earned the Cowboys the right to host the Mountain West Conference Championship Game. Wyoming also earned a berth in the 2016 San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl.

Bath coached former Cowboy running back Brian Hill, who set the Wyoming career and single-season rushing records during his three-year career at Wyoming that ended in 2016. Hill concluded his career with 4,287 rushing yards, and in 2016 he set the Wyoming single-season rushing record of 1,860 yards. He ranked No. 3 in the nation in rushing yards in 2016 (1,860), ranked No. 4 in the NCAA in rushing touchdowns (22) and was 23rd in the nation in all-purpose yards (139.57 yards per game).

Hill earned Second Team All-Mountain West honors in 2015, and ranked No. 8 in the nation in average rushing yards per game (135.9) and No. 9 in total rushing yards (1,631).

In 2014, Bath coached Wick and Hill who combined for 1,589 rushing yards and eight 100-yard rushing games. Hill was selected the Walter Camp Football Foundation National Offensive Player of the Week for his performance at Fresno State in 2014.

His 387 all-purpose yards was the best single-game performance in the nation for the 2014 season and set a new University of Wyoming single-game record and a Mountain West Conference single-game record. His 281 rushing yards was the second best single-game performance in Wyoming school history.

Prior to coming to Wyoming, Bath served as the interim head coach at Miami, his alma mater, in 2013. He was named interim head coach on Oct. 6, 2013, and also assumed the role as offensive coordinator at that time after beginning the season coaching the quarterbacks and wide receivers.

A three-year starter at quarterback for Miami from 1998-2000, he compiled a record of 23-10 as a starter and led the RedHawks to the MAC East Division Co-Championship as a sophomore in 1998. That team posted a 10-1 record overall and a 7-1 conference mark. Among those 10 wins in ‘98 was a 13-10 upset victory over No. 12 ranked North Carolina and a 14-13 non-conference victory over Army.

Scott Fuchs completed his 24th season as a college coach in 2017 and his fourth season coaching the Wyoming offensive line. In 2017, Fuchs helped lead the Cowboys to their second consecutive winning season and second consecutive bowl appearance.

While the 2017 Cowboy offense was very young, it generated three game-winning drives versus Hawai’i, Utah State and Colorado State. The Wyoming offense was one of the most efficient in red-zone situations, converting 29 of 30 red-zone opportunities (96.7 percent) to rank No. 3 in the nation.

In 2016, Fuchs coached USA Today Second Team All-America center Chase Roullier. Roullier went on to be invited to the 2017 NFL Draft Combine, and was selected in the sixth round of the 2017 NFL Draft by the Washington Redskins. Roullier also earned First Team All-Mountain West honors, and was named to the Outland Trophy and Rotary Lombardi Award Watch Lists. Fuchs brings a great deal of knowledge coaching offensive linemen with him to Wyoming as 23 of his previous 24 years of coaching experience have been as an offensive line coach. Fuchs was part of a coaching staff that led Wyoming to the 2016 Mountain Division title and earned the Cowboys the right to host the Mountain West Conference Championship Game. Wyoming also earned a berth in the 2016 San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl. In 12 of his 24 seasons as a college coach, Fuchs has helped coach his teams to postseason play.

Fuchs offensive line played a key role in blocking for Cowboy running back Brian Hill, who set the Wyoming career and singleseason rushing records during his three-year career at Wyoming that ended in 2016. Hill concluded his career with 4,287 rushing yards, and in 2016 he set the Wyoming single-season rushing record of 1,860 yards.

NDSU extended its winning streak to 24 consecutive games with the 2013 FCS Championship. That tied both the FCS and NDSU records for consecutive victories. The University of Pennsylvania set the FCS record of 24 consecutive wins from 1992-95. Montana later tied the record from 2001-02. The NDSU record was originally set from 1964-66.

Mike Grant wrapped up his 24th season as a college coach in 2017. He coached the Cowboy wide receivers for the second consecutive season. In 2017, Grant helped lead the Cowboys to their second consecutive winning season and second consecutive bowl appearance. While the 2017 Cowboy offense was very young, it generated three game-winning drives versus Hawai’i, Utah State and Colorado State. The Wyoming offense was one of the most efficient in red-zone situations, converting 29 of 30 red-zone opportunities (96.7 percent) to rank No. 3 in the nation.

Grant was part of a coaching staff that led Wyoming to the 2016 Mountain Division title and earned the Cowboys the right to host the Mountain West Conference Championship Game. Wyoming also earned a berth in the 2016 San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl.

Prior to coming to Wyoming, Grant spent the previous five years at the University of North Texas where he coached the wide receivers, the running backs and served as recruiting coordinator during his time there.

Grant has been part of 18 bowl teams -- 13 as a coach and five as a player. In his four seasons (1993-96) as a recruiting assistant and graduate assistant at his alma mater, the University of Nebraska, he was part of Husker teams that won National Championships in 1994 and ‘95. Nebraska posted back-to-back undefeated seasons in 1994 (13-0) and ‘95 (12-0), and posted an 11-2 record in 1996, finishing that season ranked No. 6 in the national polls. Grant helped coach the tight ends and offensive tackles at NU. He was on the same staff at Nebraska in 1995 and ‘96 as current Wyoming head coach Craig Bohl.

During Grant’s first season with the Wyoming Cowboys in 2016, he coached senior wide receiver Tanner Gentry, who earned Second team All-Mountain West honors and signed a free-agent contract with the Chicago Bears in the spring of 2017.

Gentry was named to the Biletnikoff Award Watch List for the second consecutive year. He caught 14 touchdown passes in 2016 to lead the Mountain West Conference and rank No. 9 in the nation. Gentry’s 1,326 receiving yards in 2016 also led the MW and ranked 12th in the NCAA. He averaged 94.7 receiving yards per game, ranking him No. 3 in the conference and No. 21 in the country. His 18.42 yards per reception was 27th best in the nation. Grant also coached senior wide receiver Jake Maulhardt, who was invited to the New Orleans Saints rookie camp in the spring of 2017.

Grant was part of a coaching staff that led the 2016 Cowboy offense to a very productive season. The Pokes averaged 35.9 points per game to rank No. 2 in the Mountain West and No. 25 in the nation. The passing game, averaged 15.3 yards per completion to rank No. 8 in the NCAA, and in red-zone offense the Pokes converted 90.6 percent of their red-zone opportunities into scores to rank 14th in the country. Wyoming’s offense ranked No. 1 in the MW and No. 22 in the NCAA in first downs (312), was No. 32 in the nation in time of possession (31:34), ranked No. 33 in the country in passing efficiency (143.82 rating) and No. 36 in the nation in rushing offense, averaging 205.4 yards per game.

Grant earned his first full-time coaching position in 1997, coaching the wide receivers and tight ends at James Madison University. Grant has coached at the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) level for the past 20 seasons, including: nine seasons at Iowa State (1998-06), one season at Southern Miss (2007), three at Western Michigan (2008-10), five seasons at North Texas (2011-15) and now at Wyoming (2016-17).

While at North Texas, Grant started out as the running backs coach for two seasons in 2011 and ‘12. As the running backs coach, Grant coached Lance Dunbar, who became the career rushing leader in North Texas history and earned All-Sun Belt Conference honors. Grant took over as the wide receivers coach from 2013-15 and added recruiting coordinator responsibilities in 2014 and ‘15. Among the top receivers he coached at North Texas were Brelan Chancellor, who in 2013 became the first player in Conference USA history to earn First Team All-Conference honors as both a punt returner and kickoff returner. Chancellor also earned Second Team All-Conference honors at wide receiver. Wide receiver Darnell Smith was an Honorable Mention AllConference honoree in 2013. In 2015, wide receiver Carlos Harris finished his career No. 2 in North Texas school history in career receptions, No. 5 in career receiving yards and No. 9 in career all-purpose yards.

While coaching the wide receivers at Western Michigan from 2008-10, Grant coached four All-Mid-American Conference receivers. In 2010, he had two receivers, Jordan White and Juan Nunez, record 1,000-yard receiving seasons and each caught over 90 passes. White set a school single-season record with 1,378 receiving yards in 2010 on way to earning Honorable Mention All-America honors from CNN/SI and First Team All-MAC honors. He also concluded his career as Western Michigan’s career record holder for receiving yards. Nunez had 1,032 yards receiving in 2010 and also earned First Team All-MAC honors. In 2008, Grant coached wide receiver Jamarko Simmons, who led the MAC in receptions (98) and receiving yards (1,100). Simmons ranked No. 3 in the NCAA in receptions in 2008 and earned Second Team All-America honors.

Grant’s time at Iowa State included him coaching two receivers who would break the Iowa State career receiving record. In 2002, Lane Danielson became the Cyclones’ all-time leading receiver and earned All-Big 12 recognition. Then three years later in 2005, Todd Blythe broke Danielson’s record on way to earning First Team All-Big 12 honors.

Grant also coached First Team All-Big 12 running back Ennis Haywood in 2000.

Of the 18 bowl teams Grant has been a part of nine came during his time at Nebraska, fifive came at Iowa State and one each came during his time at Southern Miss, Western Michigan, North Texas and Wyoming.

Grant has continued to develop his coaching skills throughout his career. He participated in the 2009 NCAA Football Coach’s Academy, the 2013 NCAA/NFL Coach’s Academy and the Bill Walsh NFL Minority Internship Program, serving an internship in 2013 with the Buffalo Bills.

A quarterback at Nebraska from 1988-92, he was a three-year letterwinner and was named to the Phillips 66 Academic All-Big Eight Honor Roll. He earned his bachelor’s degree in communication studies from Nebraska in 1993, added a second bachelor’s degree in journalism with a concentration in advertising in 1995 and has completed his course work for his master’s degree in mass communication.

He and his wife, Nina, have one daughter, Mireia.

Pete Kaligis is the longest serving assistant coach on the Cowboy coaching staff. He completed his ninth consecutive year at Wyoming in 2017. The 2017 season also marked Kaligis’ 23rd season as a college coach. He coached the Wyoming defensive tackles and nose tackles for the fourth straight year. Kaligis helped guide the Cowboys to their second consecutive winning season and second consecutive bowl berth in 2017. The Wyoming defense enjoyed an outstanding season in 2017. The Cowboys ranked 13th in the nation in scoring defense (17.8 points allowed per game), 21st in total defense (332.8 yards allowed per game), No. 5 in pass defense (160.7 yards allowed per game) and ranked No. 2 in the nation in takeaways (30 turnovers forced).

Kaligis’ interior defensive line unit in 2016 was led by senior nose tackle Chase Appleby, who made two of the biggest plays of the season for the Cowboys. Appleby returned an interception 55 yards versus Colorado State for what proved to be the winning touchdown for the Cowboys. Later in the season against No. 13 ranked Boise State, Appleby created a game-winning safety to give Wyoming a 30-28 victory.

As a unit, the 2016 Cowboy defense scored five defensive touchdowns to rank No. 1 in the Mountain West and No. 3 in the nation. Wyoming recovered 12 opponent fumbles, ranking No. 1 in the MW and No. 15 in the NCAA. The Cowboys’ 15 interceptions were second best in the conference and 22nd nationally. UW’s 27 total forced turnovers ranked No. 2 in the Mountain West and No. 10 in the country.

During his previous years coaching at the college level, Kaligis has been a part of 13 teams that advanced to postseason play, including six bowl appearances with NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision teams.

In his first season coaching the Cowboys’ interior defensive line in 2014, he coached senior defensive tackle Patrick Mertens. Mertens signed as a free agent with the Baltimore Ravens of the NFL following his senior year.

Kaligis served as Wyoming’s assistant head coach, co-offensive coordinator and running backs coach in 2013.

Sophomore running back Shaun Wick nearly reached the 1,000-yard plateau in 2013, rushing for 979 yards. Wick ended his Wyoming career in 2016 with 2,533 career rushing yards to rank No. 6 on the Wyoming career list. For the 2012 season, Kaligis was promoted to assistant head coach and coached both the Cowboy offensive line and running backs.

Kaligis coached sophomore center Carlson in 2010.

Carlson went on to earn Honorable Mention All-Mountain West Conference honors. One of Kaligis’ 2009 Cowboys, offensive tackle Ryan Otterson, signed a free-agent contract with the San Diego Chargers following the 2010 NFL Draft.

An outstanding college football player and track and fifield athlete, Kaligis started all 12 games at offensive guard for the Washington Huskies and former head football coach Don James when they captured the 1991 National Championship. The Huskies posted a perfect 12-0 record and defeated Michigan, 34-14, in the Rose Bowl on Jan. 1, 1992, to win the national title. Kaligis was a member of the Husky Football team from 1990-94.

GAME #3

GAME #4

Wyoming 13, Oregon 49

Wyoming 28, Hawai’i 21 OT

The Oregon Ducks brought one of the top ranked offenses in the nation into Wyoming’s War Memorial Stadium on Saturday, and the Ducks rode that offense to a 49-13 win over the Wyoming Cowboys. The game attracted an outstanding crowd of 29,139. The Cowboys suffered their first regular-season loss in War Memorial Stadium since a 26-7 loss to Colorado State on Nov. 7, 2015, snapping an eight-game regular season home winning streak.

Oregon ended the day with 558 yards of total offense to Wyoming’s 183. The Cowboy defense forced three turnovers on the day, with two first half fumble recoveries and a second-half interception. Wyoming turned all three of those forced turnovers into points -- one touchdown and two field goals.

Sophomore running back Milo Hall busted the longest rush of his career, a 14-yarder, in the first quarter. Hall rushed for a career-high 43 yards on 11 carries.

Freshman running back Trey Woods entered the game in the second quarter and gained 14 yards on his first carry. On his first carry against Gardner-Webb, Woods gained 13 yards. Woods recorded career bests of 11 carries and 42 yards during the game.

Junior safety Andrew Wingard recorded 14 tackles, his first double-digit tackle game of the season and the 15th of his career. He also had 2.5 tackles for loss, including a sack. He now has 3.0 sacks in his career.

It was a key conference opener for both the Wyoming Cowboys and Hawai’i Rainbow Warriors and both teams gave gutsy performances before the Cowboys prevailed in the first overtime to capture a 28-21 home win. Wyoming improved to 2-2 overall and 1-0 in the Mountain West Conference. Hawai’i is now 2-2, 0-1 in the MW. A 25-yard touchdown pass from junior quarterback Josh Allen to junior wide receiver James Price on the first play of overtime gave the Cowboys the lead at 28-21. Price was playing in his first game this season, after suffering a broken collarbone early in fall camp. Hawai’i, which had won the coin toss in overtime and chose to go on defense first, was then faced with having to score a TD to extend the game. Hawai’i senior running back Diocemy Saint Juste gained 10 yards on a first down rush down to the 15-yard line. On second down, UH quarterback Dru Brown attempted a pass that was tipped by Wyoming redshirt freshman defensive end Garrett Crall and intercepted by sophomore linebacker Cassh Maluia to give the Cowboys the victory.

Wyoming 45, Texas State 10

Wyoming 28, Utah State 23

A second quarter scoring explosion by the Wyoming Cowboys fueled a 45-10 home win over Texas State.

The Wyoming offense scored three touchdowns on TD passes by junior quarterback Josh Allen. The Cowboy defense scored twice on a 37-yard interception return by senior cornerback Rico Gafford and an 18-yard fumble return for a touchdown by sophomore linebacker Logan Wilson. And the Wyoming special teams scored on a 95-yard kickoff return for a touchdown by sophomore cornerback Tyler Hall.

Hall became the first Cowboy in the 121 seasons of Cowboy Football to return two kickoffs for touchdowns in a single season and in a career. There have been seven Cowboys who returned one kickoff return for a touchdown during their careers.

Wyoming’s offense generated 333 yards of total offense -- 249 passing yards and 84 rushing. The Cowboy defense held Texas State to 262 yards -- 127 passing and 135 rushing.

Saturday’s win marked the continued home success for UW, as it was the 10th home win in the last 12 games the Pokes have played in War Memorial Stadium.

Wyoming also continued its string of games winning the turnover battle. UW forced two Texas State turnovers on the day, while committing only one turnover itself.

The Cowboys have won the turnover battle in all five games this season.

A Josh Allen Touchdown pass to C.J. Johnson and a forced fumble by Conner Cain in the closing minutes lifted the Pokes to a 28-23 win over Utah State on Saturday afternoon in Maverik Stadium in Logan, Utah. It marked the Cowboys’ first win over the Aggies in Logan since 2003, as the Pokes came head back to Laramie with the Bridger Rifle for the second-straight season.

The Wyoming defense recorded a season-high five turnovers with the defense adding a scoring tally for the second-straight game. Junior defensive end Carl Granderson recorded a safety with remaining to seal the win for Wyoming. Granderson and fellow junior defensive end Kevin Prosser along with senior corner back Rico Gafford recorded interceptions for UW. Allen finished the day 18-of-26 passing for 208 yards with a touchdown and an interception. Eight Different receivers caught passes for the Pokes. Junior wide receiver James Price grabbed a career-high four catches for a career-high 72 yards.

Junior safety Andrew Wingard recorded a team-high 15 tackles. He went over 300 in his career, as he now has 310. Sophomore linebacker Cassh Maluia added 11 tackles for the Pokes, which all came in the first half.

Wyoming 14, Boise State 24

Wyoming 42, New Mexico 3

After a defensive battle in the opening half of play, Boise State tallied three touchdowns in the second frame to earn a 24-14 win over the Cowboys on Saturday evening in Albertsons Stadium in Boise, Idaho. The Pokes fall to 4-3 on the season and 2-1 in the MW, as the Broncos (5-2, 3-0 MW) snapped Wyoming’s three-game winning streak.

Junior Andrew Wingard recorded 15 tackles for the Cowboys. He has 325 in his career for 10th all-time at Wyoming. He has the third most tackles by a Cowboy safety in school history. Fellow junior safety Marcus Epps tied a career-high with 13 tackles.

Junior defensive end Carl Granderson recorded career-highs in sacks with two, tackles with 12 and tackles for loss with 3.5.

The Pokes defense did not record a turnover for the first time this season.

Junior quarterback Josh Allen threw for 131 yards. He moved to ninth in career passing yards at Wyoming passing Craig Burnett. Allen now has 4,470 career passing yards. He lead the Pokes in rushing with 62 yards, as it was a season best for the quarterback.

Wyoming recorded 242 yards of total offense, as Boise State recorded 342 on the night. Boise State was aggressive defensively with two interceptions and four sacks on the night.

Forcing turnovers has been a key to Wyoming victories this season, and the Cowboys had a night to remember as they forced seven New Mexico turnovers on way to a 42-3 home victory on Saturday.

The seven takeaways were a Wyoming school record.

The Pokes forced five of those turnovers in the first half and scored 35 points off those turnovers as they built a 42-0 halftime lead. The only second half scoring was a 42-yard field goal by New Mexico place-kicker Jason Sanders at the 14:08 mark of the fourth quarter.

The Cowboy offense did an excellent job of converting those turnovers into points. The Cowboy offense converted all five of the first-half turnovers into touchdowns, and put together an 80-yard, seven-play TD drive of their own for the sixth first-half touchdown.

Andrew Wingard would end the day with two interceptions and five tackles.

Cowboy sophomore linebackers Logan Wilson and Cassh Maluia would lead the Pokes with seven tackles each. Senior linebacker Jalen Ortiz had six tackles and a pass breakup. Senior defensive end Nela Lolohea recorded five tackles, including 1.0 sack for 13 yards and 1.0 tackle for loss. Granderson ended the day with his one interception, four tackles, 1.5 TFLs and 0.5 sack.

Josh Allen completed 16 of 28 passes (57.1 percent) for 234 yards, 4 passing touchdowns, no interceptions, 20 rushing yards, 1 rushing TD and 254 yards of total offense.

Nov. 4, 2017 War Memorial Stadium - Laramie, Wyo.

Nov. 11, 2017 Falcon Stadium - Colorado Springs, Colo.

There have been many memorable games in the 109-year history of “The Border War” and on Saturday night, another memory was made as the Wyoming Cowboys came from behind to capture a 16-13 victory in a game played in a snowstorm in Laramie.

With a little over seven minutes to go in the game, Colorado State held a 13-9 lead and had the ball at the Wyoming 35-yard line, facing a 4th down and six. The Rams decided to go for it on fourth down, but Wyoming’s defense came up with a huge stop. The Pokes would then take the ball and Kellen Oversteet gave the Pokes the lead 1613 with 4:21 remaining. He rushed for 26 yards on the Pokes final scoring drive and rushed seven times for 43 yards in the second half.

Wyoming ended the game with 294 yards of total offense to Colorado State’s 345. There was only one turnover in the game -- on Allen’s fourth-quarter fumble. It was the first time this season that Wyoming won a game without winning the turnover battle. The Cowboy defense held CSU 154 yards under its league-leading 499.0 yards of total offense entering the game, and held the Rams to only 13 points -- 20 points under its season scoring average of 33.2.

The victory by the Cowboys gave them their second consecutive win over the Rams and gave UW a two-game lead in the Bronze Boot portion of the series, now leading 26-24.

A strong start that saw the Cowboys score the first three touchdowns of the game was enough as Wyoming (7-3, 5-1 MW) downed Air Force (4-6, 3-3 MW) 28-14 on Saturday evening in Falcon Stadium in Colorado Springs, Colo. The Pokes scored 21 points off of turnovers and have now forced 27 turnovers this season. The Pokes have now won six of their last seven games.

The Cowboys defense was solid on the night. Sophomore linebacker Logan Wilson led UW with 12 tackles. He also forced a fumble that led to a touchdown. Sophomore defensive tackle Youhanna Ghaifan recorded a career-high 11 tackles including a sack and two tackles for loss.

Freshman defensive tackle Javaree Jackson had a career-best 10 tackles.

Freshman running back Trey Woods led Wyoming rushing for 47 yards with a touchdown. Redshirt sophomore running back Kellen Overstreet had career-bests with 16 carries and 47 yards with a touchdown. Sophomore wide receiver Austin Conway had four catches for 33 yards and threw one pass for 20 yards.

Junior quarterback Josh Allen was 8-of-11 for 70 yards with one touchdown.

He left the game in the third quarter, but junior quarterback Nick Smith came in and was 2-of-3 for 38 yards. He led Wyoming on a touchdown drive in the fourth quarter.

GAME #11

GAME #12

Wyoming 7, Fresno State 13

Wyoming 17, San Jose State 20

The Wyoming defense kept the Cowboys in the game by limiting the Bulldogs to one touchdown and two field goals prior to the Pokes taking possession at their own 20-yard line with 4:17 remaining in the contest.

Nick Smith, who started the game at quarterback for the injured Josh Allen, completed 6 of 7 passes on Wyoming’s touchdown drive, taking the Cowboys 80 yards in seven plays to pull UW to within six points at 13-7 with 2:25 left in the fourth quarter.

Smith began the scoring drive with a nine-yard completion to wide receiver James Price. He followed that with completions of 14 yards to tight end Austin Fort, 12 yards to wide receiver C.J. Johnson and nine yards to wide receiver Austin Conway that put the ball at the Fresno State 36-yard line. On the next play, Smith connected again with Conway, who made a spin move down the sideline for 30 yards to the Bulldog six-yard line. Smith then hit running back Nico Evans on a swing pass, Evans made a Bulldog miss to get into the end zone.

Wyoming followed that touchdown with one final drive of the game that saw the Cowboys take the ball all the way down to the Fresno State 27-yard line. But on the final play of the game, Cowboy quarterback Nick Smith was unable to escape the Fresno State pressure and was tackled before he could get a pass off as time expired.

Fresno State held on for the 13-7 victory to capture a road win in Wyoming’s War Memorial Stadium.

The Cowboys dropped their regular season finale to San Jose State 20-17 on Saturday afternoon in CEFCU Stadium in San Jose Calif. The Pokes pulled within three points with a little over a minute remaining, but failed to convert on the onside kick.

Redshirt sophomore running back Kellen Overstreet rushed for a career-high 139 yards, the most by a Cowboy this season. He rushed for 116 yards in the second half. Sophomore wide receiver C.J. Johnson grabbed four catches for 104 yards with a touchdown.

Wyoming recorded two turnovers defensively for 30 on the season. Junior safety Andrew Wingard recorded a team-high 10 tackles for UW. Junior defensive end Carl Granderson added seven tackles and one sack. He has 8.5 sacks on the season for the most by a Poke since 2007.

The Cowboys outgained the Spartans 357-320 in the game. A balanced effort, UW rushed for a season-high 187 yards and threw for 170 yards. San Jose State was balanced as well, as SJSU threw for 174 yards and rushed for 146.

Aaron threw for 174 yards on 15-of-29 passing to lead the Spartans. Packer rushed for 75 yards and Hartley finished the game with seven receptions for 109 yards. He was targeted 12 times in the game.

T

he game was a battle of two different offenses and one nasty defense.

The Generals were rolling with the new split “T” for mation and threatened to run through Wyoming's defense. The Wyoming singlewing 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 scor ing 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 quar ter 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 back ward 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 returned to a postseason classic. For Washington & Lee, the alma mater of baseball Hall of Famer Cy Young, it was the one and only appearance in a college bowl game. The Generals cur rently compete in NCAA Division III football. For Talboom, it was his final game as a Cowboy, and he earned the Most Valuable Player award. He left for an all-star game immediately af ter wards and was not present for the awards ceremony. It began a new era for Cowboy football. It took several years, but Wyoming had finally reached the big time.

1956 SUN BOWL WYOMING 21, TEXAS TECH 14 January 2, 1956 • Kidd Stadium • El Paso, Texas

T

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 quar ter back Joe Mastrogiovanni. The Brooklyn, N.Y., native had suffered a season-ending 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’s outstanding player of the game. Crawford’s performance against Texas Tech was an indication of things to come. The following season, Crawford became only the third Cowboy in history to earn All-America honors as he led the nation in rushing.

The Sun Bowl victory by the Cowboys was also a sign of things to come for the Wyoming Football program. The next season, Wyoming posted a perfect 10-0 season.

The 1955 Wyoming Cowboy football team defeated Texas Tech, 21-14, to win the 1956 Sun Bowl.

1958 SUN BOWL WYOMING 14, HARDIN-SIMMONS 6 December 31, 1958 • Kidd Field • El Paso, Texas

T

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 exper tise 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 alltime 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 Hardin-Simmons offense going, hitting Benji Lipsey with a 22-yard pass for a touchdown with 4:30 remaining in the third quar ter. 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 by Wyoming Coach Bob Devaney, especially the play of Kuczewski, Smyth, tackle Dale Memmelaar, and halfback Jack Allen. He also had special praise for Cowboy kicker Mike McGill. “Young man, you may not know it, but your second extra point kick was as important as anything anybody did all day,” Devaney told the diminutive McGill in the locker room. “That made Hardin-Simmons shoot for two points when they scored.”

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, the Cowboy defense controlled the tempo of the game. Five of Florida State’s eight possessions in the second half ended in three plays and a punt and only one went for a score. Wyoming added an insurance score with 2:42 remaining in the game when Egloff raced 15 yards on a fourth-and-goal situation. DePoyster again

The Cowboy defense, led by middle guard Jerry Durling, who won the Hixson Jewelry Trophy as the Lineman of the Game, held the Seminoles to minus 21 yards rushing. Durling was also selected to the All-Bowl team. He recorded six tackles in the game, while linebacker Bob Aylward had six tackles, two assists, a pass deflection and an interception. Kiick had 25 carries for 135 yards and two scores. Defeating a traditional national power, these young Cowboys won a modern day battle with conventional tools and wisdom.

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 quar terback 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 into the fourth quarter. LSU scored late in the third period on a Smith one-yard TD run.

The Tigers tied the game on the first possession in the fourth quarter as Stokely found receiver Tommy Morel for an eight-yard touchdown pass. The point after conversion failed and the game was tied 13-13. Stokely and Morel connected for another touchdown, this time a 14-yard pass play over the middle and LSU took its first lead, 20-13, with just 4:22 remaining in the game. Toscano led the Cowboy offense out for one final try with 0:39 left on the clock. Toscano threw SCORING BY QUARTER Louisiana State Wyoming

The clock ran out on that play and the Cowboy season ended five yards short of perfection.

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 spor ts 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.” The 1976 Sooner squad had 10 players who went on to play in the National Football League, including Heisman Trophy winner Billy Sims. For Wyoming, the game was a brief return to the elite of college football after an eight-year absence from a bowl game.

For Oklahoma, the game was the beginning of its return to the number-one spot in college football.

oach Paul Roach had not been in a college bowl game for 20 years when he guided the Cowboys to their first Holiday Bowl after winning nine consecutive games and the 1987 WAC championship. 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 quar ter. Iowa was forced to punt on each possession of the quar ter 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 which failed, and the Hawkeyes led 20-19 with 7:33 remaining in the game. Wyoming had a chance to win the game with :46 left in the game, but Worker's 52-yard field goal was blocked. Two Iowa defensive scores overshadowed the Wyoming defensive effort. The Cowboys held Iowa to 94 rushing yards. Pat Rabold had 11 tackles, three for a loss, and one and a half sacks. Burnett's per formance, 28 of 51 passes for 332 yards, was a Holiday Bowl record. He was named the Offensive Player of the Game. In the

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 third-down 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 67yard 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 remembered as one of the greatest offensive teams in history. It finished the year ranked 11th in the nation. Wyoming had a terrific season spoiled in the final game, but an 11-2 record and a second consecutive undefeated WAC season are records to be proud of. Wyoming was rated 18th in the final UPI Football Coaches poll.

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 All-American 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 41-yard 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 was fast, furious and fantastic, but the Cowboys came up two points short. “Wyoming is a damn good team,” Pawlawski said after the game. “For Wyoming to stop our run, I was impressed with that. I have a lot of respect for those guys.” The Cowboys easily won the statistic war, outgaining the Bears 355-261 in total offense. While the game ended a great season for Cowboy football, it also ended an important era in the history of Cowboy football, the Roach era.

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-American Ryan Yarborough had eight receptions for 72 yards.

Wyoming All-American, Ryan Yarborough, became the NCAA's all-time receiving leader in 1993 and helped Wyoming to the Copper Bowl.

I

n the inaugural Western Athletic Conference championship game, it was fitting that two of the conference’s charter members and most successful football programs would meet. The Cowboys came in to the game as Pacific Division champions with a record of 10-1, their only loss a heartbreaker at San Diego State (28-24). The Mountain Division-champion BYU Cougars sported a 12-1 record with their one loss coming at Washington (29-17).

Brigham Young started fast to take a 13-0 half time lead. Wyoming got on the board in the third quarter when linebacker Jay Jenkins returned a fumble 25 yards for a touchdown. Then Cory Wedel kicked a 20-yard field goal to make the score 13-10. A Josh Wallwork touchdown pass to David Saraf put the Cowboys in front at 17-13. The Cowboys had scored 17 unanswered points.

The two teams then traded touchdowns to make the score Wyoming 25, BYU 20. Wyoming then took a safety on a punting play by running out of the endzone to put the score at 25-22. BYU then drove the field to kick a game-tying field goal with one second remaining on the clock, and then went on to kick the game-winning field goal in overtime.

Linebacker Jay Jenkins was named the Defensive MVP of the WAC Championship Game. Jenkins returned a fumble 25-yards for Wyoming's first score of the game.

He also contributed nine tackles, two tackles for a loss of 11 yards, and an 8-yard quarterback sack.

2004 PIONEER PUREVISION LA S VE G A S B O WL 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 regular-season 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 the Cowboys new life. Following an incompletion on first down, Bramlet hit back-to-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, SCORING BY QUARTER Wyoming UCLA

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 Mar tin Wyoming quarterback Corey Bramlet was forced one fumble, which he named the MVP of the Pioneer PureVision also recovered, had one sack Las Vegas Bowl. and broke up one pass.

2009 NEW MEXICO BOWL WYOMING 35, FRESNO STATE 28 (2 Overtimes) December 19, 2009 • University Stadium • Albuquerque, New Mexico

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, 95-yard 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 fieldgoal 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.

Wyoming Defensive End Mitch Unrein accepts A f t e r t h e B u l l d o g s the 2009 Defensive Player of the Game Award. 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 40-yard 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.

2 0 1 1 G I L DA N NEW MEXICO BOWL WYOMING 15, TEMPLE 37 December 17, 2011 • University Stadium • Albuquerque, New Mexico

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 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 61yard 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 Brett Smith helped lead Wyoming to the 2011 record now stands at 6-7 Gildan New Mexico Bowl as the Mountain (.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 also has 35 career touchdowns after scoring Wyoming’s first touchdown. He stands all alone in career rushing touchdowns at UW. Senior Tanner Gentry grabbed seven catches for 113 yards. It was his 10th career game with over 100 yards receiving and his seventh this season. He finishes his career 2,815 yards ranking fifth all-time at UW. Gentry also grabbed two touchdowns. He has 20 touchdowns for his career tying for fourth all-time with former teammate Robert Herron.

Redshirt sophomore quarterback Josh Allen was 17-of-32 passing for 207 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. He tied Josh Wallwork for the season record for touchdowns responsible for with 35 this season.

Defensively, Sophomore Antonio Hull and redshirt freshmen Logan Wilson and Youhanna Ghaifan tied for the team lead with six tackles. Senior Logan Wilson finished with four tackles.

He had 344 career tackles passing Ward Dobbs for seventh in career tackles at Wyoming.

The Cougars got the first break of the contest on a miss handled snap by UW punter Ethan Wood, which resulted in a first and goal for the Cougars near the end of the first quarter.

Quarterback Tanner Mangum capitalized on a three yard run to five the Cougars a 7-0 lead after one quarter of play.

The Pokes offense struggled in the first quarter recording only 50 yards of offense on 17 total plays. The Pokes recorded 31 of those yards on their first possession with a 28 yard reception by senior wide receiver Tanner Gentry highlighting the drive.

The Pokes got inside BYU territory after an interception and return of 20 yards by sophomore Andrew Wingard in the second quarter. The Cowboys failed to capitalize after a miss handled snap on a field goal try. The Cougars responded with a 11-play, 66 yard drive that lasted five minutes that ended in a 27-yard field 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
