“We have a different attitude coming here,” said Spartan QB Chevan Cordiero on the 33-16 SJS win. “People say it’s hard to play here at altitude and people always make it seem like it’s going to be hard to play here, but it just makes us more hungry and it just gives us motivation.”
That 7,220 foot Laramie altitude also offered perfect weather for football, though it took some time for the Cowboys (3-3, 1-2 MW) and the Spartans (3-1, 1-0 MW) to do their part.
In the end, Cordiero and the Spartan defense were in control for most of the game despite some expected Wyoming punches.
