COLUMBIA, MO. • Missouri and Wyoming’s football programs meet for the first time Saturday, but Cowboys coach Craig Bohl hardly is a stranger around Faurot Field.
As a University of Nebraska player, graduate assistant, position coach and coordinator, Bohl faced the Tigers 14 times over four decades with seven visits to Columbia.
Bohl wore his Nebraska scarlet and cream for some of the most memorable matchups in a series that now lives only in memories and photographs thanks to conference realignment.
He was a backup defensive back in the 1978 game when Tigers running back James Wilder trampled coach Tom Osborne’s Cornhuskers in Lincoln, Neb.
