Cowboys run all over young, inexperienced Rebels
Stephen R. Sylvanie-USA TODAY Sports On the second play of the game in Friday night’s game between Wyoming and UNLV, Cowboys running back Xavier Valladay went right up the middle, untouched for a 78- yard touchdown run. It was a sign of things to come in the game for UNLV as Wyoming’s running backs had a field day against a thin and inexperienced UNLV defense.
Wyoming racked up 399 total rushing yards and 498 total yards on offense as they blew out the Rebels 45-17. Both teams were playing its first games in a while due to COVID cancelations, the Rebels had its game last week canceled and the Cowboys have had its last two games canceled and have not played since Nov. 5.
