We have something special for you this week!


Under the lights at War Memorial Stadium, Wyoming gave fans plenty to remember in a 28-14 win over Air Force on Oct. 23. Wearing their special Cowboys and Coal uniforms, the Pokes struck on the second play when Tyler Hughes ran for a 68-yard touchdown. Hughes finished with 146 rushing yards and two touchdown passes, while Wyoming’s defense recovered three Air Force fumbles to help secure a third straight win. Our own Christian Lasher and Donny Felcsuti captured the action for Pokes News as the Cowboys improved to 5-3 overall and 4-1 in Mountain West play.
