As he warmed up before Saturday night’s game at War Memorial Stadium, Boise State quarterback Brett Rypien stood on the exact same spot where “bad memories” lived.
The senior gave himself a little pep talk, to not let the reminder of the safety he took his last time in Laramie affect his current approach. His fumble out of the end zone gave Wyoming its winning points late in a 30-28 loss Oct. 29, 2016.
“I told myself, ‘You’re a different player than you were in 2016, this is a different team, and just go out and play like you know how to play,’ and I was able to do that,” Rypien said.
