The Cowboys won their first game in four tries in their final home game in the season, giving their five seniors a nice finish to their home campaign, where they finished 9-5 in Laramie this season after a nice win over the Air Force Falcons.
The Cowboys enjoyed good balance on the offensive side of the ball and also demonstrated one of their best efforts on the defensive side of the ball in conference play this season, holding the Falcons 41.2% from the field and 38.9% from deep.
Despite gaining a 19 point lead in the second half, the Cowboys had to use some late heroics to hold off the Falcons who came surging back to make it a four point game late in the second half.
