Border War Rivalry Has a Special Meaning to a Wyoming Team That Features Numerous Players From Wyoming and Colorado: The Border War rivalry between Wyoming and Colorado State means a great deal to the people of Wyoming. It also holds a very special meaning to members of the Wyoming Football team who are natives of the states of Wyoming and Colorado. Wyoming’s 2023 football roster has 13 players from the state of Wyoming on the team and 22 players from the state of Colorado. The 22 players from Colorado is the most from any one state on the Wyoming roster. Of those Wyoming and Colorado natives, nine have started for the Cowboys this season, including: Wyoming natives Jordan Bertagnole (DT), Frank Crum (OT) and Will Pelissier (WR); and Colorado natives Buck Coors (DB), Wyett Ekeler (S), John Hoyland (PK), Ryan Marquez (WR), Braden Siders (DE) and Wyatt Wieland (WR).



Wyoming Improves Home Winning Streak to Five Games:The Wyoming Cowboys have won each of their five home games this season. Two of Wyoming’s five home wins in 2023 have come against Top 25 ranked opponents. The Pokes began the season defeating then No. 24 ranked Texas Tech 35-33 in double overtime. On Oct. 7, Wyoming defeated Fresno State, who was ranked No. 24 at the time, by a score of 24-19.



Back Home: After opening the season with five home games in the first six weeks of the

season, the Wyoming Cowboys return to Jonah Field at War Memorial Stadium. The Cowboys are 5-0 at home this season and will return home for the first time in 27 days. Wyoming played two roads and had a bye week during that stretch.



Linebacking Crops: the Wyoming linebacking corps led the way at Boise State for the UW defense. Easton Gibbs and Shae Suiaunoa each added 11 tackles and combined or 22 in the contest. That was 28 percent of Wyoming’s tackles in the game. The duo also each added 1.5 tackles for loss apiece. For the season, the linebacking duo has combined for 138 tackles, which is 25 percent of Wyoming’s tackles this season.



Wrook Brown Note: Nickel Wrook Brown added eight tackles for the Cowboys at Boise State. It was his highest tackle output since recording eight against Portland State. The eight tackles was a season-high. He has 40 tackles on the season to rank fifth on the Cowboys this season.



Ekeler Makes Another Play: Safety Wyett Ekeler forced a fumble in the first quarter against the Broncos. It was his second forced fumble of the season to tie him for the team lead with linebacker Easton Gibbs. He also has one interception and one fumble recovery on the season. He is third on Wyoming in tackles with 54 on the season. He and Gibbs rank third in the conference and No. 27 in the nation in forced fumbles.

McMurphy thinks we will get to 6 wins and become bowl eligible.

I'm not so sure we have a HC and Coaching staff that can pull that off......

Because I couldn't believe how bad it was the first time I looked at it....

Looking at again, it was that bad and worse. Our OL looked like they had never played a game before together, if they had a name on their jersey, it would have said, "Welcome Mat"... Their defensive guys were in our backfield more than our own RB's were. Our offensive guys looked like they had never seen pressure before.....whatever our coaches told our players was wrong, and everything our offensive players heard was wrong. Meaning there had to be a big disconnect between our coaches and players OR the coaches really misjudged what they thought Boise State was going to do.

Our defense looked small, slow and out of position all night....and that was the good part. It got worse when you looked at the tackling. Not to pick on Wyatt Ekeler, as everyone on Wyoming's defense played like this, but this was just a really good example of how our defense played all day. I saw one play early on where Wyatt literally got bowled over onto his backside early in the game by one of their RB's. The only thing that Ekeler did was allow their RB a spot to clean his shoes off as he was running over him.

It was obvious that Boise State did not fear or respect this Wyoming team.

Every coach on this team has to look at themselves and ask themselves, what did I do wrong? That was a total team beatdown, there literally was not a part of the team that played well. Ultimately it was a CEO that failed to get his coaches to prepare the team properly.

Certainly can't hurt. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nf...n&cvid=be71bbdf765f4552abeb4b67e2cd6c44&ei=44

Pokes in the Pros: Week 8

LARAMIE, Wyo. (10/31/23) – Logan Wilson had perhaps his best game as a National League Football player when Cincinnati desperately needed someone, anyone, to step up back in Week 3. The Bengals were in search of their first win of the season, and Wilson recorded two interceptions in a defensive win over the Los Angeles Rams.

Just a month later, the Bengals are rolling, and Wilson – the former University of Wyoming football player – is still playing at an extremely high level. The Casper native had another interception and a team-high 11 tackles in Cincinnati’s decisive 31-17 victory at San Francisco.

Wilson’s logged 57 tackles, four tackles for loss, three interceptions, one sack and one quarterback hit this season. The Bengals have completely turned their season around, sitting at 4-3.

Wilson isn’t the only former Wyoming student-athlete making a sizable impact with his NFL franchise. Below is a list of the former Pokes and how they performed in Week 8.

Andrew Wingard, Jacksonville Jaguars

Wingard backed up his strongest game of the season with an even better one in Jacksonville’s 20-10 victory at Pittsburgh. He boasted a season-high six tackles, two passes defended and one interception.

On the year, Wingard owns 16 tackles, two passes defended and an interception for 6-2 Jacksonville.

The Jaguars are idle in Week 9.

Carl Granderson, New Orleans Saints

Granderson continues to stack strong game on top of strong game, as the Saints won at Indianapolis, 38-27. He boasted six tackles, one tackle for loss, one sack and three quarterback hits.

In 2023, Granderson has recorded 35 tackles, nine tackles for loss, 5.5 sacks, 12 quarterback hits and one forced fumble for 4-4 New Orleans.

The Saints host Chicago in Week 9.

Josh Allen, Buffalo Bills

Allen played pretty well in the Bills’ 24-18 victory over Tampa Bay. He was 31-for-40 for 324 yards with two touchdowns and one interception. Allen also ran it seven times totaling 41 yards with one score.

For the season, Allen is 205-for-286 for 2,165 yards with 17 touchdowns and eight picks. He also has 189 yards on 36 carries with five scores for 5-3 Buffalo.

The Bills travel to Cincinnati for Sunday Night Football.

Mike Purcell, Denver Broncos

Purcell put forth a decent game in the Broncos’ 24-9 win over Kansas City. He recorded one tackle and one quarterback hit.

On the year, Purcell lays claim to 11 tackles, four quarterback hits and two passes defended for 3-5 Denver.

The Broncos are idle in Week 9.

Marcus Epps, Las Vegas Raiders

Epps carded his strongest game of the season in the Raiders’ 26-14 loss at Detroit. He piled up a season-high nine tackles and one tackle for loss.

For the season, Epps has 36 tackles and three tackles for loss for 3-5 Las Vegas.

The Raiders host the New York Giants in Week 9.

Tashaun Gipson, San Francisco 49ers

Gipson registered a very strong game in San Francisco’s 31-17 loss to Cincinnati. He piled up a season-high eight tackles and one tackle for loss.

This season, Gipson lays claim to 30 tackles and one interception for 5-3 San Francisco.

The 49ers are idle in Week 9.

Chad Muma, Jacksonville Jaguars

Muma didn’t record a stat in the Jaguars’ 20-10 win at Pittsburgh.

Muma has 13 tackles this season for 6-2 Jacksonville.

The Jaguars are idle in Week 9.

Tyler Hall, Las Vegas Raiders

Hall didn’t record a stat in the Raiders’ 26-12 loss at Detroit.

For the season, Hall owns 10 tackles for 3-5 Las Vegas.

The Raiders host the New York Giants in Week 9.

Can't wait to get my eyes on the games I missed while on my sports mental health break. Not really worried about Josh as I'm sure he made the necessary corrections to have on outstanding game against Faker Mayfield and the Bucs. However, I'm...

Really excited to see if The Old Bald Coach has the 'Boys the lasered focused in all three phases of football against the worst Boise State Bronco football team in 20 years. Surely, with two weeks of prep, The Old Bald Coach (TOBC) has fixed issues in the passing game defense to prevent a wide open receivers in the middle of our soft Cover 2 zone. Also, as the special teams coach, I'm sure TOBC has his special teams group ready for any two point conversation attempts unlike we have seen in past games. I'm sure dang excited to watch Waylee run through the Broncs like Earl Campbell and controlling the clock while Peasely is gun slinging and taking advantage of Boise State's poor pass defense. I bet TOBC trots out Johnny Red Shoe for multiple 49 yard field goal makes. Boise State's two quarterback system (if you have two quarterbacks you don't have one - amirite?) will be no match for our vaunted DLine and we will tackle like the '85 Bears.

After this game, the TOBC mantra of "Those who stay will be champions" will be closer to reality as a cohesive football team piss-pounds and dominates on the Blue and setting up an eventual rematch against Air Force. En TOBC confio!

What the???? Snapped 16 game streak

Who was ready for this game?

It certainly wasn't Bohl's Wyoming Cowboys!

Sone people just like to beat a dead horse after a loss and just want attention! Or see how many times one can post the same thing in different threads.
“It sucks to be!””
Go Pokes

We can be very professional and thank Coach Bohl for all of the things that he has done for the program, but it is time for him to work on a buyout with UW and retire to his ranch. He does not have an overall winning record at UW and he does not own a conference winning record at UW, and 10 years is long enough for us to have hope that he can finally put an offense on the field that can actually pass the ball and can be better than one of the worst in the nation.

before he can actually admit, his offenses suck, and his offensive philosophy is outdated?

Bohl's passing game has consistently been one of the worst in all of America, and yet he talks about it being just a little extra (2%) effort and things will be much better. Bohl face it, your offense stinks and it doesn't matter who you have had as the OC! It is you Bohl that is the problem with the offense!

.....for BS'ng the Wyoming administration and the Wyoming faithful all these years while putting on an inconsistent and often time mediocre team on the field.

I don't see how anyone can have any faith in Bohl any longer!
