Photo by Ian Cadena, PokesNews.com Staff LARAMIE, Wyo. - For about 340 days, Wyoming players had to walk past an empty trophy case in the weight room. That emptiness was a daily reminder of Wyoming's 24-10 loss to CSU last November. The Bronze Boot had been in Colorado State's possession for nearly a year. Saturday night marked the last time Wyoming would face CSU as conference rivals, as the Rams head to the Pac

Terron Kellman (5). Photo by Troy Babbit, UW Athletics LARAMIE, Wyo. - With the loss last Saturday against Air Force (1-5 heading into the game), there were still some positives.

When Wyoming needed sparks against Air Force, Kellman delivered.   Kellman, who transferred to Wyoming from Charlotte during the offseason, turned nine carries into 83 yards and t

Jones Thomas. Photo Courtesy of UW Athletics Wyoming safety Jones Thomas has quietly become a productive Cowboys defender this year. After barely seeing the field a year ago, Jones has already climbed into the program’s top five in tackles.   “Last year I didn’t really play at all,” Jones said, noting he logged only a handful of snaps in 2024. “I got like seven plays in one game at safety at least. And so just being in the action… yeah, it’s just exciting. It’s just an exciti

Wyoming head coach Jay Sawvel postgame at Air Force. Photo by Ian Cadena, PokesNews.com I asked a simple question after Wyoming’s gut-punch loss to Air Force in Colorado Springs: What’s it like in the locker room right now? Fair and obvious question, right? Wyoming had just lost to one of the worst defenses statistically in the Mountain West, and I wanted to know whether the emotion in the locker room matched the frustration fans felt outside. I wasn’t looking for a typical s

The former University of Wyoming linebacker was told his snaps would be reduced, making way for a rookie to play more. Wilson didn’t pout or make a scene, he just prepared like he always has and helped his understudy. And wouldn’t you know it, Wilson still produced at a high level in the Bengals’ 33-31 victory over Pitt
