All season long, head Wyoming Cowboy football coach Jay Sawvel harped on the fact that the Cowboys have been the victims of bad luck, whereas last season they were more often the recipient of a few fortunate and timely plays that led them to win their fair share of one score games.
“We were in very similar type games a year ago, you know, we had five one score games that we won a year ago,” Sawvel said earlier in the season. “This year, we’re in those situations and we’re making the play that you can’t make.”
Nickelback Wrook Brown coming away with a timely 29-yard pick six to bring the Cowboys within three points early in the fourth quarter is one of those plays that the Cowboys have been missing all season.
