Cowboy Football

The past few football seasons have been tough on us Pokes fans. However, it doesn't keep us from showing that "Pokes Pride," no matter where the schedule takes our beloved team.

The college football season might still be three months away, but the pre-season prognostications are starting to be revealed.

A pair of road trips to Oregon and Michigan State highlights the 2014 Wyoming Cowboy football schedule that was announced today. With the unveiling of the Mountain West football schedule, the Cowboys slate is complete with dates.

As the 2014 Reese’s Senior Bowl approaches this Saturday, former Wyoming Cowboys Robert Herron and Marqueston Huff are both receiving praise for their performances in practices leading up to the game.

According to a release from the University of Wyoming, wide receiver Jalen Claiborne has been suspended for the upcoming game against Northern Colorado. The official statement reads:

For the second time in two weeks the Wyoming Cowboys have had a defensive player named Mountain West Defensive Player of the Week. It was announced by the league office Monday that Sophomore Defensive End Eddie Yarbrough has earned the distinction.

Junior quarterback Brett Smith notched a record-breaking day while leading the University of Wyoming football team to a 42-10 victory over Idaho on Saturday afternoon in front of 22,030 fans at War Memorial Stadium. Smith guided the Cowboys (1-1) to 42 unanswered points in the second and third quarters, while the UW defense held the Vandals (0-2) off the scoreboard until midway through the fourth quarter.

Seven former University of Wyoming football players received free-agent offers from five professional teams over the weekend, as they try to pursue their dream of playing at the next level.

After a slow start, the offense came on late in the second quarter and then controlled the second half for a 92-60 win over the defense in the Wyoming Cowboys Spring Game Saturday at War Memorial Stadium. It was the finale of the 15 practices the Cowboys are permitted in the spring, which began March 26th.

Three interceptions, 2 of which were returned for touchdowns, and 9 total tackles for loss, which included 4 sacks, led to the Wyoming defense winning the second scrimmage of spring drills 72-62 Wednesday morning. The Cowboys ran 109 total plays from scrimmage and had a kicking period during the two-hour session in the Indoor Practice Facility (IPF) at UW.
