In a challenging game for the Wyoming Cowboys, the offense struggled to find its rhythm against a formidable Bulldogs defense. The Cowboys' passing game was unable to break through, completing only 12 out of 29 attempts for a total of 104 yards and suffering two interceptions. Their average yards per pass were just under four, and they failed to convert any red zone opportunities into points.


The rushing attack didn't fare much better, with the team gaining only 87 yards on the ground over 29 attempts. This amounted to an average of three yards per carry without any touchdowns. Despite these efforts, they could not secure any scoring plays throughout the game.


Special teams had their moments as well; notably, one punt was blocked by the opposition. However, this did not translate into points on the board for Wyoming. Penalties also played a role in hindering progress as seven infractions cost them a total of seventy penalty yards.


On defense, there were some bright spots for Wyoming with three sacks totaling nineteen lost yards for Fresno State and four tackles for loss that pushed back their opponents by twenty-one yards overall. Yet these defensive efforts were overshadowed by an offense that couldn't capitalize on opportunities created.


The Bulldogs took full advantage of their home field advantage before an attendance of over forty thousand fans at Bulldog Stadium. They scored fourteen points in the first quarter and added nine more before halftime. Another seven points followed in the third quarter while keeping Wyoming scoreless throughout all four quarters.


As fans look ahead following this tough defeat for Wyoming Cowboys football team, they can mark their calendars for December thirty when they face off against Ohio Bobcats at Arizona Stadium in Tucson. This upcoming game is scheduled to kick off at twenty-one thirty local time and will be broadcasted on Barstool Sports network where fans can tune in to support their team once again.
