Wyoming 14, Colorado State 13
Associated Press
FORT COLLINS, Colo. - Jayden Clemons threw for a touchdown and ran for another score to help Wyoming beat Colorado State 14-13.
Wyoming (7-3, 5-1 Mountain West) went three-and-out on the game's first drive and Tory Horton returned the ensuing punt 72 yards for a touchdown and Michael Boyle kicked a 40-yard field goal to give the Rams a 10-0 lead with 14:10 left in the second quarter.
Clemons capped a 12-play, 69-yard drive with a 14-yard scoring run - the first touchdown of his career - with 34 seconds to play in the first half and Boyle added a 25-yard field goal that made it 13-7 with 12:55 remaining in the game. The Colorado State (2-8, 2-4) defense forced a three-and-out but Horton muffed the punt, Wyoming took possession in Rams territory and, two plays later, Clemons hit Alex Brown for a 32-yard touchdown - the sophomore's sixth career reception and first career TD - that gave the Cowboys their first lead of the game and capped the scoring with 10:47 to play.
Colorado State responded with a 10-play, 52-yard drive that took five minute, 59 seconds off the clock but Boyle missed a 40-yard field-goal attempt with 4:48 left and Wyoming held on from there.
