The Walter Camp Football Foundation announced the Football Bowl Subdivision National Offensive and Defensive Players of the Week on Sunday. The awards are presented by Generation UCAN. This is the 11th year that the Walter Camp Football Foundation honors one offensive and one defensive player as its national Football Bowl Subdivision players of the week during the regular season.

Hill, a true freshman running back from Belleville, Ill., accounted for 387 all-purpose yards in leading Wyoming to a 45-17 road win over Fresno State. Hill rushed for 281 yards on 23 carries and two touchdowns, averaging 12.2 yards per carry. He also caught three passes for 106 yards. He became only the fifth player in NCAA history to rush for at least 200 yards and have at least 100 yards receiving in a single game.

Describing the play-by-play action will be Dave Flemming. He will be joined by color analyst Rod Gilmore and sideline reporter Allison Williams. Wyoming and Utah State Renew Rivalry That Began in 1903, New “Bridger’s Battle” Tradition Was Introduced in 2013: A new tradition was incorporated into a century-old rivalry in 2013 when the Wyoming Cowboys and Utah State Aggies introduced a new “Bridger’s Battle” tradition to the football series between the two schools. As part of the new tradition, a traveling “Bridger Rifle” will be awarded to the winner each year. The rifle is a .50-caliber Rocky Mountain Hawken rifle that was popular among mountain men of the 1800s, and is widely-considered to be the rifle carried by the legendary Jim Bridger. “Bridger’s Battle” was chosen as the name for the new series due to Bridger’s ties to the Wyoming-Utah region. Born in 1804, Bridger was the foremost mountain man in the history of the American West. He was one of the first Americans to set foot in what is now Yellowstone National Park, documenting the natural wonders of what would become the nation’s first national park and establishing the first fur trading post in the area. While leading the Stansbury expedition in 1849, Bridger discovered the Great Salt Lake, and also helped construct a route that would one day become part of the Transcontinental Railroad. Bridger spent a majority of his life in the Rocky Mountain region, primarily in the areas that would become the states of Wyoming and Utah. The score from each year’s contest will be recorded on the maple stock of the new “Bridger Rifle”. Wyoming and Utah State first played in 1903, and this year’s meeting will be the 65th in the series. Wyoming has won 24 of the previous 64 meetings, while Utah State has won 36 times and there have been four ties. Colby Kirkegaard Coming Into His Own as Cowboy QB: Colby Kirkegaard has played some of his best football in the Wyoming Cowboys’ last two games at Colorado State on Oct. 25 and at Fresno State on Nov. 1. Over the past two weeks, here are some of Kirkegaard’s numbers: •He recorded his first two career 300-yard passing games -- 335 at CSU and 320 at FSU. •The senior has completed 43 of 68 (63.2 percent) passes with four TD passes and no interceptions. Kirkegaard threw two TD passes in each of the past two games. •He guided Wyoming to a season high 694 yards of total offense at Fresno State. •Kirkegaard has helped Wyoming post its two highest point totals of the season -- 31 at CSU and 45 at Fresno State. Wyoming’s 694 Yards of Total Offense vs. Fresno State Ranks 19th Best in the Nation in 2014, Among Best in School History: The Wyoming offense generated 694 yards of total offense in its 45-17 road win at Fresno State on Nov. 1. That ranks as the 19th best single-game in the nation in 2014. It also ranks No. 4 in Wyoming school history in total offense. Eddie Yarbrough Moves Into Tie for Third in Cowboy History in Tackles for Loss: Junior defensive end Eddie Yarbrough recorded 2.0 tackles for loss against Fresno State on Nov. 1 to move into a tie with former Cowboy great Zach Morris on the Wyoming career tackle for loss list. Yarbrough now has 26.5 TFLs for his career through his first three seasons. Morris, a defensive tackle, had 26.5 tackles for loss from 2001-04. Only two players now rank ahead of Yarbrough -- John Fletcher (36.0 TFLs as a DE from 2005-09) and Josh Biezuns (31.0 TFLs as a DE/ OLB from 2008-11). See more details on Page 8 of this week’s release. Freshman Brian Hill Comes Off the Bench With Impressive Performance vs. Colorado State: In the first series of Wyoming’s Oct. 25 game at Colorado State, junior running back Shaun Wick suffered a broken hand. That put the load of the Cowboy rushing attack on the shoulders of true freshman Brian Hill. The 6-1, 204-pound freshman from Belleville, Ill., responded in impressive fashion, carrying the ball 28 times for 121 yards and two touchdowns. It was the first 100-yard rushing game of his career, and his two TD runs were the first of his career. He also averaged a strong 4.3 yards per carry. His 28 carries were the most by a Cowboy this season.

Below is a list of the first 19 of “The 25 Most Interesting People” in college football that had been featured by ESPN.com through Sunday, Aug. 24.

Athlon’s description of Bohl read, “It’s not often a coach jumps from the FCS to FBS ranks and takes the top spot in a conference.

In 11 years at North Dakota State, Bohl guided the Bison to 104 victories, including three consecutive FCS Championships.” Wyoming-Utah State Coaching Connection: There is one coaching connection between this week’s two teams. Utah State’s Passing Game Coordinator and Wide Recievers Coach is none other than Jovon Bouknight, one of Wyoming’s all-time greatest receivers. www.GoWyo.com 2014 Wyoming Team Notes University of Wyoming Football Possessing the Ball, Long Scoring Drives Highlight Wyoming’s New Offensive System: A key to Wyoming’s new offensive philosophy is to be able to maintain possession of the ball and create long scoring drives. The Cowboys have shown strong signs of being able to sustain long drives during the 2014 season. •Wyoming’s offense put together two 75-yard touchdown drives, including the gamewinning drive against the Air Force. On the final scoring drive versus Air Force, senior quarterback Colby Kirkegaard completed 6 of 7 passes for 73 of the 75 yards and capped off the drive with a three-yard TD pass to senior tight end J.D. Krill. •Against Oregon, the Cowboys put together their longest scoring drive of the season -- a 98-yard drive that took 11 plays and 5:27 off the game clock and resulted in Wyoming’s first score of the game to take a 7-0 lead in the first quarter. The Pokes followed that up with a fourth-quarter drive that went 76 yards in 11 plays and lasted for 6:28. •In the Sept. 20 win over Florida Atlantic, Wyoming posted scoring drives of 80 yards, 71 yards and 91 yards. •The Pokes’ two scoring drives at Michigan State were 80 and 75 yards, and at Hawai’i the Pokes had scoring drives of 71 and 98 yards. •As the Cowboys scored a season high 45 points in a 45-17 win at Fresno State, the Pokes generated drives of 75, 92, 88, 95, and 88 yards. Forcing Turnovers and Scoring Points -- Cowboy Defense Scores Touchdowns in Consecutive Weeks vs. Hawai’i and San Jose and Intercept Two Passes vs. Fresno State Leading to 10 Points: In two consecutive weeks at Hawai’i on Oct. 11 and versus San Jose State on Oct. 18, the Wyoming defense converted a turnover into an immediate touchdown. At Hawai’i, senior linebacker Mark Nzeocha forced a fumble when sacking the Hawai’i quarterback and fellow senior linebacker Devyn Harris picked up the loose ball and returned it 78 yards to give Wyoming a 14-0 lead. Against San Jose State, senior cornerback Blair Burns ripped the ball loose from a Spartan running back and took the forced fumble 63 yards for the score and tie the game at 10-10. At Fresno State on Nov. 1, Cowboy cornerback Tyran Finley intercepted two passes in the fourth quarter that led to a touchdown and a field goal Four Cowboys Receive Recognition on Phil Steele’s Midseason All-Mountain West Team, Three of the Four Injured and Out for Extended Periods of Time: Four Wyoming Cowboys have been recognized as Midseason All-Mountain West selections by Phil Steele. The four are: First Team Midseason All-MW Defense Mark Nzeocha, Sr., LB Second Team Midseason All-MW Offense Shaun Wick, Jr., RB Second Team Midseason All-MW Defense Darren White, Sr., FS and Eddie Yarbrough, Jr., DE Unfortunately, three of the four Cowboys have been injured since the midseason teams were announced.

Rufran was among a record high 182 players nominated for this year’s Allstate AFCA Good Works Team.

It is the AFCA’s pleasure to work with Allstate in promoting such great ambassadors of the game of football.” Allstate and the AFCA are looking to the fans to help determine this year’s 2014 Allstate AFCA Good Works Team® Captain.

Utah State has won two-straight conference contests by comfortable margins and boasts a 3-1 mark in MW action. The Aggies just keep on finding freshmen who are ready to contribute. In the last contest versus Hawai’i, freshman QB Kent Myers threw for 186 yards and three touchdowns in his first career start and freshman RB LaJuan Hunt rushed for 150 yards to lead the Aggies to a 35-14 road win. Myers is the fourth QB to take snaps for Utah State this season as injuries have piled up at the position. Wide receiver Hunter Sharp leads USU in the passing game, posting 49 grabs for 791 yards and seven TDs. Wideout JoJo Natson is an asset out of the backfield, with 39 catches, 397 yards and two scores. Natson adds his talents to special teams, averaging 8 yards per punt return with one score. Defensively, two brothers lead the charge for the Aggies. Linebacker Zach Vigil, an AllMountain West performer, has 96 tackles to rank second in the MW. Against Hawai’i, Vigil posted 12 tackles, including a career-high 3.0 sacks, while also forcing a fumble that was returned for a touchdown. His younger brother, Nick Vigil, has 76 stops from his linebacker spot. Safety Frankie Sutera has picked off a MW-leading six passes, and as a squad, the Aggie defense has 15 interceptions. Place-kicker Nick Diaz has hit 9-of-11 field-goal attempts, and punter Jaron Bentrude averages 41 yards per boot. Head Coach Matt Wells: Now in his second year at Utah State, Matt Wells has made his mark on the Aggie football program. In 2013, his first year, he led Utah State to the inaugural Mountain West Championship game after winning the Mountain Division of the conference with a 7-1 record. Wells also led Utah State to just its third-ever bowl victory as it posted a 21-14 win against No. 24 Northern Illinois in the 2013 San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl. For his efforts, Wells was named the 2013 Mountain West Coach of the Year as he set the school record for wins by a first-year head coach as the Aggies finished with a 9-5 record. During his first year as Utah State’s head coach, Wells mentored 14 Aggies who earned various all-Mountain West honors, including three All-Americans as Tyler Larsen was named a second-team All-American by USA Today Sports, Nevin Lawson was named a third-team All-American by College Sports Madness, and Kyler Fackrell was named an honorable mention Sophomore All-American by College Football News. Overall, Wells is the second USU coach in as many years and fifth in school history to garner conference coach of the year honors along with Bruce Snyder (1978), Chuck Shelton (1991), John L. Smith (1997) and Gary Andersen (2012). Wells is also the fourth individual to earn MW Coach of the Year honors in his first season along with BYU’s Gary Crowton (2001), Utah’s Urban Meyer (2003) and Air Force’s Troy Calhoun (2007). Wells is just the second Utah State graduate to be appointed its head football coach. Prior to being named the head coach at his alma mater, Wells spent the previous two seasons as an assistant coach at Utah State, including serving as the team’s offensive coordinator and quarterbacks coach during the 2012 campaign. Last Meeting: Utah State 35, Wyoming 7 (Nov. 10, 2013) - The 2013 season came to a close for the University of Wyoming football team as the Cowboys dropped the last game of the year, 35-7, to the Utah State Aggies. Wyoming scored just one touchdown, while Utah State used four offensive touchdowns and a 64-yard punt return TD to secure a spot in the inaugural MW Championship game. Quarterback Brett Smith went 16-for-29 for 162 yards and tossed a 60-yard TD strike to wide receiver Dominic Rufran in the fourth quarter. Smith accounted for at least one score in each of his 35 career games, a MW record, and had the second-best passing season of any UW quarterback in history with 3,375 yards. Running back Shaun Wick had 40 yards on the ground, while wide receiver Jalen Claiborne led the Pokes with five catches for 41 yards. Defensively, Marqueston Huff and Devyn Harris set career highs with 20 (No. 3 in UW single-game history) and 12 tackles, respectively. Defensive end Eddie Yarbrough added a fumble recovery, while defensive tackle Justin Bernthaler and defensive end Sonny Puletasi each had a sack. Utah State began the scoring after intercepting a UW pass in the first quarter. The Aggies drove 27 yards for a score and UW trailed 7-0. In the second quarter, the UW special teams gave up a 64-yard touchdown return and Utah State led 14-0. With just 53 seconds left in the half, USU punched it in from 1 yard out to claim a 21-0 lead heading into intermission. The second half featured two Aggie scores to push the lead to 35-0 until Smith found a wideopen Rufran on his pass, and Rufran rumbled his way in for UW’s only score.

War Memorial’s original capacity was 20,000 in 1950. It was expanded to 25,500 in 1970, and the seating was increased to a capacity of 33,500 in 1977. Following reconstruction of the upper deck on the West side of War Memorial Stadium in the summer of 2004, the new capacity of War Memorial Stadium was 30,514. With the construction of the Wildcatter Stadium Club & Suites in 2009-10, the current capacity is 29,181.

In September 2013, the national football website FootballScoop.com. ranked Jonah Field as one of its Top10 college football field designs in the country. Jonah Field came in at No. 6 and was the top ranked field West of the Mississippi. The Top 10 included: 1. LSU; 2. East Carolina; 3. Tennessee; 4. North Carolina; 5. Notre Dame; 6. Wyoming; 7. Nebraska; Tie 8. Clemson and Georgia; 9. Maryland; and 10. Boise State. In describing Wyoming’s new design, FootballScoop had this to say, “Like the (North Carolina) Tar Heels, Wyoming’s recent changes pushed them into the national consciousness. Also, it’s never a bad thing when you can paint an intimdation factor into your field, as the Cowboys do by reminding everyone they’re playing a mile and a half above sea level.” Installation of the beautiful new FieldTurf Revolution playing surface at the University of Wyoming’s War Memorial Stadium was completed in late June 2013. The field’s new features include the image of Wyoming’s Teton Mountains in the end zones, and on the sidelines is the lettering “7220 Feet” to distinguish Jonah Field as the highest NCAA Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) stadium in the country. UW’s school colors of brown and gameday gold are prevalent throughout. The traditional words “WYOMING” and “COWBOYS” are boldly displayed in brown on a vivid gameday gold background in opposite end zones. Those words appear in a new western-style font. Another traditional element that was incorporated into the design was Wyoming’s iconic “Steamboat” symbol of a bucking horse and rider at midfield in brown, outlined in white and gameday gold. Jonah Field will continue as the name of Wyoming Football’s playing surface to commemorate the generous donations to UW Athletics by Mick and Susie McMurry and John and Mari Ann Martin and their families. The concept of incorporating a unique Wyoming design into the field was that of University of Wyoming Athletics Director Tom Burman. Award winning graphic designer David Coleman, who is a UW graduate and Wyoming native from Wheatland, was retained to develop the design. The Mountain West Regional Manager for FieldTurf is UW graduate and former Cowboy baseball letterwinner Jed Easterbrook. Easterbrook worked extremely hard with his company, FieldTurf, to win the bid, and Easterbrook monitored the installation of the new surface through completion. He was assisted by University of Wyoming Senior Associate Athletics Director Bill Sparks. The FieldTurf Revolution turf system was selected by Wyoming Athletics due to its elite-level playability. FieldTurf has been installed at many of the top NCAA football stadiums in the country for its grass-like performance and safety. Installation of the new surface began on Monday, June 10 and was completed on Thursday, June 27 -- under three weeks from beginning to end. The field includes over 750,000 pounds of crushed rubber to provide cushioning to the playing surface. The various elements of the field were manufactured in Calhoun, Ga., outside Atlanta and then sewn together as the field was installed. The cost of the field was $500,000, all of which was funded from self-generated dollars with no state funds going to pay for the project. Cost savings of nearly $500,000 came from the excellent condition of the base that was already in place from the installation of Wyoming’s original artificial turf surface back in the summer of 2005. Stuart Williams Named a Semifinalist for the NFF Campbell Trophy: The National Football Foundation & College Hall of Fame (NFF) has announced its semifinalists for the 2014 William V.

(The following bowl information has been compiled by the Mountain West Conference entering the 2014 season.) The number of postseason appearances for the Mountain West will be driven by on-the-field performance, starting with the opportunity to play in the national semifinals or another New Year’s Day bowl game as part of the new College Football Playoff arrangement. The highest-rated champion from among the five noncontracted conferences (American, C-USA, MAC, MW Sun Belt, or chosen by the playoff selection committee) is guaranteed a slot in the system. In the 15 seasons since the league’s inception, the Mountain West’s champion or a current MW member has secured that position 11 times, placing teams in the Fiesta (2), Rose and Sugar (2) Bowls during that period. The MW also has agreements with eight (8) different bowl games that in any given year will generate six (6) or seven (7) postseason opportunities for its member institutions. These include primary positions in some or all years with the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl, Famous Idaho Potato Bowl, Gildan New Mexico Bowl, R+L Carriers New Orleans Bowl, Royal Purple Las Vegas Bowl, San Diego County Credit Union Poinsettia Bowl and Sheraton Hawai‘i Bowl - and a secondary position with the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl. The Mountain West will collaborate with the bowl partners to place all eligible teams with consideration given to matchup, geography and historical considerations (e.g., last time a team participated in any bowl or a particular bowl). NOTE: The MW is the primary backup for the Buffalo Wild Wings Bowl if the Big 12 or Pac-12 does not fill. ABOUT THE COLLEGE FOOTBALL PLAYOFF Beginning with the 2014-15 season, college football will enter a new era when a postseason playoff will begin. The format is simple: top four teams, two semifinals played in bowl games, and a national championship game played in a different city each year. Each semifinal will be played during the New Year’s holiday with the national championship game in prime time on a Monday night at least a week later. THE SELECTION COMMITTEE A selection committee will choose the four teams for the playoff based on their performance during the regular season, including strength of schedule, head-to-head results, championships won, and other factors. The teams will be seeded so that #1 will play #4 in one semifinal and #2 will meet #3 in the other, with the winners advancing to the national championship game.

Bohl becomes the 32nd head football coach in University of W Wyoming history. Bohl came to Wyoming after building a national power at North Dakota State as a head coach for 11 seasons ffrom 2003-13. His teams won three consecutive National Championships at the NCAA Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) level in 2011, ‘12 and ‘13. NDSU became only the second FCS school in NCAA history to w win three consecutive national football titles, tied the FCS record for consecutive wins (24 from 2011-13) and became the first undefeated FCS National Champion since 1996. “Rarely do you get an opportunity to hire a head coach who has won multiple National Championships and has a reputation as a program builder,” said Burman. “I am absolutely confident we hired one of the best ffootball coaches in the country. All you have to do is look at Craig’s record.” “I understand the awesome responsibility to lead this football team,” said Bohl. “I also understand how important football is in the fabric of this institution and not only this institution but around the state. Whether yyou’re in Sheridan, Casper or Thermopolis, this is the state team, and I embrace that. “I’m looking forward to getting to know the people of our great state of Wyoming. It will be an exciting time ffor us. We understand that the bar is high. I also appreciate the vision that Tom (Burman) has, and I want tto thank him for having faith in me to lead this football program. He was able to articulate to me where our ffootball program needs to go and the resources that are going to be provided to allow us to experience success. “I can’t tell you how excited I am to embrace the Cowboy tradition.” Not only has Bohl won three national titles at the FCS level, but he was the linebackers coach at his alma mater, Nebraska, when the Huskers won the 1995 and 1997 National Championships. Bohl concluded his career as head coach of the NDSU Bison, with a 104-32 (.765) record. He guided the Bison to the FCS Playoffs each of his final four seasons, posting a 14-1 record in the FCS Playoffs. His last three teams posted records of 14-1 (2011), 14-1 (2012) and 15-0 (2013) for a combined record of 43-2 (.956) on way to its three consecutive FCS national titles. By winning the 2013 FCS National Championship, North Dakota State extended its winning streak to 24 consecutive games, which tied both the NDSU and FCS records for consecutive victories. The Bison teams from 1964-66 originally set the school record with 24 straight victories. The University of Pennsylvania set the FCS record of 24 consecutive wins from 1992-95. That record was later tied by Montana from 2001-02. The 2013 NDSU team also set a North Dakota State single-season record for wins, posting a perfect 15-0 record in 2013. The Bison became the first undefeated FCS National Champion since Marshall went 15-0 to win the 1996 FCS title. The Bison had great success against FBS teams to go with their elite status at the FCS level. In each of the past four seasons, Bohl’s Bison defeated all four of the FBS teams they faced, and captured all of those wins on the road. NDSU won at Kansas in 2010 (by a score of 6-3), at Minnesota in 2011 (37-24), at Colorado State in 2012 (22-7), and at Kansas State in 2013 (24-21). Overall during his 11 years at North Dakota State, Bohl’s teams built a 7-3 record against FBS teams. In 2012 and ‘13, Bohl received both The Sports Network Eddie Robinson FCS National Coach of the Year Award and the American Football Coaches Association (AFCA) FCS National Coach of the Year Award. He became the first coach in the 27-year history of the Eddie Robinson Award to win it in consecutive seasons. In 2013, he also received the Liberty Mutual FCS Coach of the Year Award, which is presented in partnership with the National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame. His other National Coach of the Year honor came in 2006, when he was recognized by the Football Gazette as the FCS National Coach of the Year and the Northwest Region Coach of the Year. He was also a finalist for The Sports Network Eddie Robinson Award in 2011, 2007 and 2006, and was the 2011 and 2013 AFCA Region 4 FCS Coach of the Year. Bohl was selected to the American Football Coaches Association Board of Trustees by a vote of the membership at the 2012 AFCA national convention. His North Dakota State teams have been built on an exciting West Coast offense and a physical, aggressive defense. In the 2013 season, North Dakota State’s offense ranked No. 7 in rushing offense (257.3 yards per game), No. 10 in the nation in scoring offense (38.7 points per game) and No. 14 in total offense (457.5 ypg). The Bison defense ranked No. 1 in the nation in scoring defense (11.3 points allowed per game), No. 2 in the nation in pass defense efficiency (97.59 rating), No. 3 in rushing defense (91.3 yards allowed per game) and were No. 3 in total defense (255.9 yards allowed per game). The Bison led all FCS teams in scoring defense three consecutive seasons (2011-13). His last eight years as an assistant coach were spent at Nebraska where he was the linebackers coach under head coach Tom Osborne for five seasons and was part of the 1995 and ‘97 Nebraska National Championship teams. Bohl’s final three seasons (2000-02) at Nebraska, he served as the Cornhuskers’ defensive coordinator under head coach Frank Solich, before accepting the head-coaching job at NDSU in 2003. Bohl was part of 11 bowl-game appearances at Nebraska -- eight as an assistant coach from 1995 to 2002 and three as a graduate assistant coach from 1981-83. As the defensive coordinator and linebackers coach at Duke in 1994, he helped coach the Blue Devils to the Hall of Fame Bowl in his only season. Bohl’s North Dakota State teams were ranked in The Sports Network or FCS Coaches Top 25 polls for 107 weeks since beginning FCS play in 2004, and earned the No. 1 ranking in the final 2011, 2012 and 2013 polls, including being named a unanimous No. 1 following the 2013 campaign. The Bison’s record versus FCS Top 25 ranked teams under Bohl’s direction was 30-8. During his time in Fargo, N.D., Bohl coached 10 Academic All-Americans and 37 All-Americans, while six student-athletes in the last 10 years were named to the Allstate/AFCA Good Works team. Bohl grew up in Lincoln, Neb., and went on to attend the University of Nebraska where he was a reserve defensive back from 1977 to 1979 under head coach Tom Osborne. Bohl was part of Nebraska’s 1979 Orange Bowl and 1980 Cotton Bowl teams. The 2014 season will be Bohl’s 34th year coaching at the college level, including 12 years as a head coach, 19 as a full-time assistant coach and three seasons as a graduate assistant. He began his coaching career as a graduate assistant at his alma mater in 1981, assisting with the Nebraska linebackers and defensive backs for three seasons from 1981-83. His first full-time coaching position came at North Dakota State in 1984, coaching the defensive backs. He moved on to coach the linebackers at the University of Tulsa for the 1985 and ‘86 seasons. In 1987 and ‘88, Bohl was the linebackers coach at the University of Wisconsin. He earned his first defensive coordinator position in 1989 at Rice, where he served as the defensive coordinator for five seasons from 1989-93. In 1994, Bohl accepted the defensive coordinator position at Duke. The following season in 1995, he had the opportunity to return to Nebraska as the linebackers coach, and in his first season back in Lincoln the Huskers won the National Championship. Two seasons later, they captured their second National Championship during Bohl’s time as an assistant coach. Born July 27, 1958, Bohl will be 56 years old when the 2014 season kicks off. He earned his bachelor’s degree in business administration from Nebraska in 1982.

Running back Shaun Wick rushed for 134 yards and D.J. May added 96 on the ground to guide the University of Wyoming football team to a season-opening 17-12 victory over Montana. The Cowboys also rolled out an improved defense, holding the Griz to just 42 yards on the ground. A near-capacity crowd of 25,243 saw the Griz hold a slim 6-3 lead at halftime. The Cowboys used momentum from a fourth-down stop to craft a fiveplay, 58-yard drive that ended with a 5-yard touchdown run from Wick, as the extra point put Wyoming up 10-6 with five minutes left in the third. Following a Montana punt, May ripped off a 58-yard scoring scamper to push UW’s advantage to 17-6. Defensively, Nzeocha tallied 12 tackles, just two shy of his career high, and added a sack and three pass breakups. Senior linebacker Devyn Harris and senior defensive lineman Patrick Mertens added eight stops apiece, 1 0 3 Montana Wyoming 2 6 0 3 0 14 4 6 0 Total 12 17 UM 16 19-42 211 46-25-0 65-253 0-0 2-6 2-32 1-0 0-0 3-25 25:06 6 of 17 1 of 2 1-1 6-37 Redshirt senior quarterback Colby Kirkegaard threw for 282 yards and two touchdowns, including the game winner with 58 seconds left, to guide the University of Wyoming football team to a hard-fought 17-13 win over Air Force. The Cowboys trailed the majority of the game in front of 21,246 fans, before outscoring the Falcons 10-3 in the final quarter to pick up home win No. 300. After the Falcons added a field goal with 3:25 left to take a 13-10 lead, Kirkegaard helped the Cowboys take control of the contest with a steady hand. He went 6-of-7 on UW’s final drive, including a 25-yard strike to sophomore wide receiver Tanner Gentry to take the Pokes to midfield and a three-yard touchdown toss to senior tight end J.D. Krill for the game-winning score. Air Force would drive to UW’s 15 in the final minute, but couldn’t manage a last shot at the endzone.

Page 30 WYOMING 2014 Wyoming Cowboys University of Wyoming Football FOOTBALL 2014 GAME #3 GAME #4 No. 2 Oregon 48, Wyoming 14 Wyoming 20, Florida Atlantic 19 Redshirt senior quarterback Colby Kirkegaard passed for 284 yards and two TDs, but it wasn’t enough to overcome a powerful Oregon squad, as the University of Wyoming football team lost 48-14 to suffer its first loss of the year. Wyoming took an early 7-0 lead over No. 2 Oregon in front of a crowd of 56,533, but UO reeled off 41-unanswered to take control in the second and third quarters. Junior running back Shaun Wick tallied 122 yards rushing and sophomore wide receiver Tanner Gentry hauled in his first career TD reception. Redshirt sophomore running back D.J. May added 143 yards of total offense, along with one receiving score. Early on, UW’s defense stood tall on Oregon’s first possession. The Ducks went 13 plays and 78 yards, all the way to the UW 2. But three-straight rushes were turned away, culminating in fourth-down stop from the defense. The never-say-die University of Wyoming football team used an 18-yard field goal from senior kicker Stuart Williams with just 15 seconds left to capture a dramatic 20-19 victory over Florida Atlantic. Williams got his opportunity to win for the Cowboys after an 88-yard catch-and-run from senior quarterback Colby Kirkegaard to senior wide receiver Dominic Rufran with just 2:05 remaining in the game. The play took the Pokes from their own 8-yard line to FAU’s 4-yard line. Three rushes ran the clock down and Williams booted it through for the second game-winning kick of his career. A Wyoming victory looked like it might not happen, after Florida Atlantic stopped the Cowboys on a fourth-down attempt with 2:09 left in the game and assumed possession on UW’s 8-yard line.

Junior running back Shaun Wick rushed for 97 yards and the University of Wyoming football team battled San José State to overtime before falling 27-20 in front of a Homecoming crowd of 19,627 fans in War Memorial Stadium. The Cowboys’ game-winning field-goal attempt with two seconds left in regulation went off the right upright and the Spartans scored a touchdown on their first overtime possession, before holding the Pokes out of the endzone on defense. The Cowboys and Spartans were deadlocked in a 10-10 affair through three quarters, before combining for 20 points in the fourth quarter. UW looked to have the game in hand with a three-point lead late in the game, but SJSU converted a 50-yard field goal with 42 seconds left. Back came the Cowboys with a dramatic drive for a 46-yard field goal attempt that would have won the game, but Stuart Williams’ kick bounced off the right upright to send the game to an extra period.

Freshman running back Brian Hill had his best day as a Cowboy with his first two career scores, but his efforts weren’t enough to stop the University of Wyoming football team from suffering a 45-31 loss to rival Colorado State. In the 106th edition of the “Border War” between the two squads, Wyoming struggled to contain a potent offensive attack from Colorado State. The Rams scored on seven of their 11 total drives in the game and tallied 558 yards of offense. But UW’s offense played well in the second half, piling up 275 yards and scoring 28 points. Senior quarterback Colby Kirkegaard had a nice day, finishing with a career-best 335 yards passing and two scores. His last two tosses of the day were touchdowns, as he found senior wide receiver Jalen Claiborne from 32 yards out and sophomore wideout Tanner Gentry on a throw with just 15 seconds left for a 38-yard score for the final margin.
