Less than 20,000 on hand in Wyoming - this is just foreign to us.

Quentin Christian brings the kick out to their 43. Add 15 yards for piling on and we have a very short field to start with.
Rattay to Martin for 11 on 3rd and 8.
Morris runs it in from 10 yards out. 7-0, 12:51 left in the quarter.

3 and out for Wyoming offense.

Rattay to WR Kato Thelwell for 21 yards, 10 of it after the catch.
Rattay is sacked - wonder who gave that one up?
We punt from midfield.

DE Phil Patten records a sack on 1st down.
3 and out.

Rattay to Martin for 36 yards, nice work by both players on that one.
21 yards to Fortunato.
17 yards to Voight. Rattay is hot to start this game.
Morris runs it in from 6 yards out. 14-0, 4:21 left in the quarter.

DE Mark Dickerson sacks the QB.
But Wyoming picks up 3rd and 10, despite a defensive holding violation.
Offensive pass interference takes away a 29 yard gain.
Punt.

Rattay's string of completions is over at 7.
But starts again with a 36 yard gain to Voight.
10 more to Voight on 3rd and 7.
Morris gets his 3rd TD of day from 3 yards out. 21-0, 12:30 left in half.

Jack Farmer forces a fumble that is recovered by CB Bowens. We'll start at their 38.

Rattay is sacked on 1st and goal.
And we are forced into a field goal. 24-0, 5:42 left in half after the 26 yard field goal.

ILB Scott Wilson intercepts a deep ball. Nice to have the MLB making plays in coverage 35 yards downfield.

Rattay has cooled off after hot start. He is now 13-22 for 193 yards.
Punt.

Another holding call on Wyoming wipes out a first down. They have 6 penalties for 60 yards already.
They punt from the 50 with time running out in the half.


Halftime Notes:
Pretty solid on both sides of ball. Unless something dramatic happens 2nd half recap will just detail scoring plays.

Wyoming opens up the second half pounding away on the ground, converting a TD. 24-8 (after 2 point conversion), 10:12 left in the quarter.

OK, this is getting a little serious. We are driving, but WR Kai Olson gets lit up after a catch and fumbles. Wyoming recovers and advances the ball 59 yards to our 23.

OK, crisis averted. First play for Wyoming offense is an interception by J.R. Jackson. 77 yard return for a TD. 31-8, 7:01 left in 3rd.

Ellis 28 yard field goal. 34-8, 3:29 left in 3rd.

Wes Satterwhite dives in from one yard out. 34-15, 14:02 left in game.

J.R. Jackson returns a punt 54 yards. 41-15, 11:01 left in the game.

Burris to Simmons for 6 yard TD pass. 41-22, 2:35 left in the game. And that was the final score.


Offense wasn't terribly inspiring. Defense forced 6 turnovers.
