3rd Quarter Report
After a tough loss on the road their last time out, Wyoming looks much better today on their home field. They are fully in control with a 35-9 lead over Hawaii. Wyoming took a bit hit to their ego last Friday, so a win here would be a pleasant pick-me-up.
Wyoming has yet to find success away from home, so they have something to prove. Victory is within reach; will this be their lucky break?
Preview
The Wyoming Cowboys will be playing in front of their home fans against the Hawaii Rainbow Warriors at 2:00 p.m. ET on Saturday at Jonah Field at War Memorial Stadium. Wyoming will be looking to keep their six-game home win streak alive.
Wyoming gave up the first points and the most points on Friday. Things couldn't have gone much worse for them as they lost 34-14 to UNLV. The over/under was set at 48.5 points, so nice work oddsmakers; you were right on the money.
Nobody from Wyoming had a standout game, but they got scores from Andrew Peasley and Wyatt Wieland.
Meanwhile, Hawaii must've know the odds they were up against on Saturday, but they decided it wasn't going to be the story of the game. They took down Air Force 27-13. 27 seems to be a good number for Hawaii as the team scooped up a victory with the same number of points in their previous game.
Among those leading the charge was Brayden Schager, who threw for 176 yards and two touchdowns while completing 75.9% of his passes, and also punched in a touchdown on the ground. Another player making a difference was Pofele Ashlock, who picked up 67 receiving yards and two touchdowns.
UNLV's victory bumped their season record to 8-2 while Wyoming's defeat dropped theirs to 6-3.
Going forward, Wyoming is the favorite in this one, as the experts expect to see them win by 13.5 points.
Wyoming was able to grind out a solid win over Hawaii in their previous meeting back in October of 2022, winning 27-20. Does Wyoming have another victory up their sleeve, or will Hawaii turn the tables on them? We'll have the answer soon enough.
