STORY: No off week for Wyoming football staff during bye (trib.com)

“I still remember a bye week a couple years ago, I went and watched Carl Granderson play live,” said Cooper, who was spotted recruiting Friday night in Hannibal, Missouri. “So those things are invaluable, to get into high schools, to see kids play live, to be able to sit with coaches and counselors and principals and really find out about young men.

COLUMN: Cowboys climb up to No. 3 in Gagliardi MW power rankings (WyoSports.net)

3. Wyoming (4-2, 2-0): A homer pick? Not really as the Cowboys started league play with convincing wins over rivals Colorado State and Air Force, and their 73 points in league play is the best among the 12 conference teams. UW still has a lot to prove, but it has turned a lot of heads in the conference so far.

Wyoming defense capitalizing on takeaways, touchdowns in 4-2 start (Trib.com)

“I knew we had the potential for it, so it’s just good to see it all come together,” safety Marcus Epps said. “I mean, we work hard at it in practice, so just seeing the potential come out, it’s showing on the field, and the hard work is showing on the field. It feels good.”

Gagliardi column: Wyoming looks to build off impressive first half (WyoSports.net)

How did UW get here? First, with defense.

UW leads the MW and is ninth nationally in the Football Bowl Subdivision with 14 forced turnovers (10 interceptions and four fumble recoveries). It forced 10 turnovers all of last season. The Cowboys have scored four defensive touchdowns through six games. That’s tied for second in the country.

There are several factors for the defense’s turnaround, but they all go hand in hand.

The Wolf Pack lost two more keys pieces to its defense – linebackers Alex Bertrando, the team’s leading tackler, and reserve Travis Wilson, who both could miss this week’s game – and running back Akeel Lynch retired Monday from the game. Lynch, a transfer from Penn State, had back-to-back concussion this season.

When Nevada lost at Wyoming last season, it was a shock given the state of the Cowboys’ program.

But, this season, the Wolf Pack is actually an underdog, even at home. That’s how far Wyoming has come in one year’s time. Sitting at 4-2 overall and 2-0 in the Mountain West, the Cowboys sit just a half game behind Boise State for first place in the Mountain Division standings. Nevada, on the other hand, is sorely in need of a victory after dropping two of its first three games in conference play.

“It’s fun to walk in a few stores with teammates and have people come out to you and say congratulations and good job so far this season,” Allen said. “It’s nice to have that kind of support, and its definitely motivation for us moving forward. We’ve exceeded expectations from a lot of people so far, but I’ve always had the mindset that we are a good football team and I continue to have that. I don’t expect anything for us to change this week. We’re out to go 1-0.”

Nulph column: Bohl knew Wyoming's cavalry was coming - did you? (WyoSports.net)

There was one guy who saw the future for UW and liked what he saw.

That guy was Cowboys head coach Craig Bohl.

On the last Monday in August, Bohl uttered a simple phrase that seemed to be nothing more than some positive words for the UW faithful. At the end of Bohl’s press conference for the season-opener against Northern Illinois, the veteran head coach ended the 20-minute Q-and-A with the media with a simple, “I know there’s been tough times. But I can tell you this, fans: ‘The cavalry is coming.’”

STORY: Wyoming turns to depth at defensive end to replace Granderson (WyoSports.net)

LARAMIE – To no one’s surprise, junior Nela Lolohea will start at one defensive end spot for the University of Wyoming football team this week in place of the injured sophomore Carl Granderson.

Who plays behind Lolohea, however, remains somewhat uncertain.

Wyoming freshman defensive end Shiloh Windsor dresses for success (trib.com)

“They didn’t have any of my stuff ready,” he said. “I had to go and get my ankles taped by Cole (Vertz), and they had to go get my pants out of the back. We had to get everything situated real quick, and I had to run back out there just in case.

“I didn’t really know what was going to happen, so I was nervous. It was crazy.”

The whole process took five to 10 minutes, Windsor said. He didn’t end up seeing the field, which was probably for the best, considering the Cowboys were going up against the Falcons’ triple-option offense.
