Cowboys Win in Storybook Fashion Against Appalachian State

WYOMING - 22

APPALACHIAN STATE - 19

In what most thought would be a tick in the loss column for the Cowboys, turned out to be one of the most electrifying wins you could’ve witnessed. Jakorey Hawkins blocked and returned a kick with 1:52 left to play that would give the Cowboys the lead and win them the football game.

It was an epic moment, and the defense was able to close out the game with a pick from Wrook Brown with seconds on the clock.

However, this was not a game the Pokes should’ve been even close to winning, and the fact that they did is incredibly lucky and a dodged bullet, especially heading into MWC play next week.
