Reliving the 1985 Australia Bowl between UW and UTEP
The University of Wyoming football team has only ever played one game outside of the United States in the history of the program.
That one contest happened to be against the UTEP Miners, in a game played at the VFL Park in Melbourne, Australia on December 7, 1985. While the contest made history as the first college football game played in Australia, the implications within the Western Athletic Conference (WAC) weren't as significant as one would assume.
