Wyoming kicked off their 2015 football season at home in Laramie in front of 23,669 fans. The Cowboy faithful left Jonah Field at War Memorial Stadium disappointed after a 24-13 loss to FCS (Missouri Valley Conference) North Dakota this past Saturday.
The story of the ballgame was penalties and third down conversions.
The Cowboys committed eight penalties for 96 yards. Most were the 15-yard variety and coming at the absolute worst possible time.
“Obviously that’s very disappointing,” junior offensive guard Chase Roullier said. “It’s never good when you’re getting penalties and letting the team down. I don’t know how many were on (the offensive line), but any penalty – just one penalty – is not good for us.
