Hell of a gritty comeback. Your guys never lost hope and fought to the end. The Pokes are fortunate to come away with the W. Great players and a great coach. Good luck the rest of the way out. Shock the world and beat the Woverines!!

Good luck the rest of the way to the Pokes too.

Fun game. Hope Wyoming NIU games can be crazy good everytime and have that tradition. Cowboys are a great G5 program.

I hope that our respective ADs work out another Home and Home deal. I like playing MAC teams. I think the MWC and MAC ought to arrange an alliance between the two conferences.

Bohl nearly gave it to us with that fourth down call but was nearly perfect all game. Absolutely outclassed us most of the way.

Shouldn't you be rooting for, well, you know , Virginia?

I agree though, it's an interesting matchup

Wyoming dominated us up front with their OL. We couldn't get any pressure or stuff the run. Hope you guys tear it up in the result of your schedule.

Oh wow, that explains it well. Wyoming OL starts 4 seniors and one junior. Very veteran line. Even the Wyoming defense is very senior and junior heavy.

Wyoming's OL was great.

Yes, they were and very big and strong. They were fully grown men.

Thanks for your posts this week. We had a a great time with the Wyoming fans we encountered on Saturday (with the exception of one). Hope your fans were treated well. Good luck the rest of the way.

A. I’m a Wyoming alumnus living in Virginia. B. It’s a nod to a book by Owen Wister of the same name that’s based in Wyoming. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Virginian_(novel)

Yeah, that was a head scratcher. Apparently, Bohl had concerns about the long snapper. Huskies should be commended for taking advantage and surging to the lead. Pokes were fortunate to win.

"outclassed us most of the way?"

no.

no.

and no.

we were up 43-42 with 4 minutes left. We had a chance to win with a last drive TD. So, no.

Correct.

And Cowboys' bootleg calls is what won the game for them ... so ... credit should be given to their play-calling-- on BOTH sides.

It was an absolute ass-whupping for most of the game. We rode our momentum to the lead but with so much time left, Wyoming's offense went back to kicking our defense's tail. On our final drive our inconsistency on offense reared its ugly head and we couldn't mount a final rally. So yeah... They outclassed us most of the way.
