The bout between the Wyoming Cowboys and the New Mexico Lobos on Saturday marked what should have been a turning point for the Pokes in their hopes of reshaping this season’s narrative. The New Mexico Lobos had other plans, defeating the Pokes in the low-scoring affair at War Memorial, 14-3. Next week, the Cowboys will travel down to the South Bay in California in hopes of upsetting the San Jose State Spartans.
Scoring was hard to come by when the Cowboys and Lobos took the field at War Memorial Stadium on Saturday. The New Mexico Lobos delivered the first blow of the day, capitalizing off a Sean Chambers interception in the first quarter that would lead to a nine-play drive that was finished off by a wide-open 43-yard touchdown pass from Isaiah Chavez to Trace Buckler making it 7-0 Lobos, early.
