IOWA CITY, Iowa -- Wyoming quarterback Josh Allen, whose profile exploded over the past year as a potential top pick in the 2018 NFL draft, struggled Saturday in his second career opportunity to exploit a Power 5 defense.
Allen threw for 173 yards on 23-of-40 passing with two fourth-quarter interceptions as Iowa beat the outmanned Cowboys 24-3 at Kinnick Stadium.
The 6-foot-5 junior from Firebaugh, California, often showed the arm strength and physicality that has bolstered his professional stock and earned Allen strong reviews at the offseason Manning Passing Academy.
A bevy of NFL scouts watched in person Saturday as he failed to connect with Wyoming receivers downfield.
