Former Wyoming Cowboy and current Buffalo Bills quarterback, Josh Allen, went on a 55-second rant Wednesday afternoon, sharing his thoughts on his college rivals, Colorado State.

Allen never lost to the Rams -- or "sheep" as he repeatedly called them -- in his two games against them.

In Fort Collins in 2016, the Cowboys overcame an early deficit to run away from Colorado State, 38-17. Wyoming defensive tackle, Chase Appleby, had an interception for a touchdown in that one. Allen threw for 165 yards and a touchdown. He rushed for 55 yards and another score in the Cowboys final trip to Hughes Stadium.

The second contest will always be remembered for a second-half snowstorm and a leaping catch by fullback Drew Van Maanen. Wyoming escaped with a 16-13 victory that November night in Laramie. Allen threw for 138 yards in the elements and rushed for 60 more.

The 111th Border War will kickoff Friday night at 7:30 p.m. MST.

Allen and the Bills take on the Denver Broncos Sunday at 11 a.m. MST.

(Editor's note: Wyoming knocked off CSU 17-7 on a frigid night on the high plains. The Bills also handled business in Orchard Park the following day, beating the Broncos, 20-3.)

University of Wyoming’s Top 50 Football Players

During the summer of 2021, 7220Sports.com counted down the Top 50 football players in University of Wyoming history, presented by Premier Bone & Joint Centers, Worthy of Wyoming.

The rules are simple: What was the player's impact while in Laramie? That means NFL stats, draft status or any other accolade earned outside of UW is irrelevant when it comes to this list.

This isn't a one-man job. This task called for a panel of experts. Joining 7220's Cody Tucker are Robert Gagliardi, Jared Newland, Ryan Thorburn, and Kevin McKinney.

We all compiled our own list of 50 and let computer averages do the work. Think BCS -- only we hope this catalog is fairer.
