The Wyoming Cowboys (7-3 overall, 5-1 MW) rallied back from a 10-point deficit to defeat the Colorado State Rams (2-8, 2-4 MW) by a score of 14-13 on Saturday evening in Canvas Stadium in Fort Collins, Colorado. It marked the fifth comeback win for the Cowboys this season. Backup quarterback Jayden Clemons connected with wide receiver Alex Brown on a 32-yard touchdown in the fourth that proved to be the winning score, as Wyoming earned the Bronze Boot for the 45th time.

“We certainly dug ourselves a hole in the beginning, but the effort was great and for a young team to go on the road and keep believing was great to see,” UW coach Craig Bohl said. “It was a very physical game tonight and I’m sure Colorado State feels the same as well. This goes down as one of the classic Wyoming vs. Colorado State rivalry games. We did a good job offensively in the second half getting to the second level on the runs. The quarterback run game was also good for us tonight. But we are going to enjoy the night and start getting ready for Boise State tomorrow.”

Wyoming allowed only six points defensively with the Rams recording 372 yards of offense with 251 yards through the air and 121 yards on the ground. Offensively, Wyoming had 236 yards of total offense rushing for 142 yards and passing for 94 yards. The Cowboy defense recorded five sacks and now have 18 sacks in their last four games.

Clemons finished the game 7-11 passing for 90 yards with a touchdown and added 32 yards on the ground with a touchdown. He entered the game in the second quarter and led the Pokes to their first score. Running back Titus Swen rushed for 73 yards to lead the team. Tight end Parker Christensen added four catches for 32 yards to lead the team.

“Clemons certainly played well tonight,” Bohl said. “He hasn’t gotten a lot of repetition, but he has studied well and made some big plays and certainly his pass to Alex Brown was huge.”

The Cowboy defense was led by Easton Gibbs with 12 tackles on the night. He also added a sack and two tackles for loss. Safety Isaac White added eight tackles with linebacker Shae Suiaunoa adding seven along with a career-high seven from nose tackle Gavin Meyer. Defensive tackle Jordan Bertagnole added six tackles and a career-high two sacks.

The Rams were led by Horton offensively with eight catches for 168 yards. Millen threw for 251 yards on 18-26 passing. Running back Avery Morrow rushed for 104 yards on 22 carries. Linebacker Dequan Jackson led the defense with 13 tackles.
