The Wyoming Cowboys rode a great effort by it’s defense and an offense that was able to convert some key opportunities late in the game.
The Cowboys took the opening kickoff and promptly drove 73 yards on 15 plays. The Falcons were a little too loose on the “bend but don’t break” defense, and Andrew Peasley took the opportunity to throw 7 easy short out passes that helped move the ball to the Falcon 2 yard line before the Falcons tightened it up, holding the Pokes to 3 points.
The Falcons followed with a drive of their own, but it was clear early that rushing yards were going to be hard to come by.
