Much-talked-about Wyoming quarterback Josh Allen orchestrated the Cowboys’ upset win over the then-unbeaten Boise State Broncos in Laramie last season.
Allen was about the only effective weapon the Cowboys had this time around, but the NFL prospect couldn’t win the game on his own in a 24-14 loss Saturday night at Albertsons Stadium.
The 6-foot-5, 240-pound junior threw for 131 yards, rushed for 62 and had a hand in both of Wyoming’s touchdowns.
“He’s obviously a tremendous competitor. He’s a very gifted athlete,” Boise State coach Bryan Harsin said. “... He’s one of the best football players that we’ve played against.
