LARAMIE -- The hits just keep on coming.

Just when it looks like Wyoming could pull off the impossible, it loses its starting quarterback just before the half. Kaden Anderson suffered a concussion and was forced into protocol.

He wouldn't return in this 17-13 setback against No. 12 Boise State.

Anderson completed 9-of-14 throws for 116 yards. The redshirt freshman was again poised. He was also hitting deep shots, twice connecting with Jaylen Sargent, including a 41-yard strike that set up the Cowboys' lone touchdown of the night. That was a simple flat route to Justin Stevenson from five yards out.

The defense certainly did its part, limiting the visiting Broncos to just 353 yards of total offense, more than 140 under their season average.

Ashton Jeanty, a Heisman hopeful that eclipsed the 2,000-yard rushing mark tonight, was limited to just 169 on the ground, 61 of which came on a first-quarter touchdown jaunt.

Yes, that's limiting. The junior averages 256 an outing.

Aaron Bohl's defense also gave Maddux Madsen fits, limiting Boise State's signal caller to just 168 yards on 14-of-26 passing. That unit did that damage despite being without the services of defensive tackle Jordan Bertagnole and edge rushers Sabastian Harsh and Braden Siders.

Rave to the effort tonight from this team. Rant to a forgettable 2024.

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 GagliardiJared NewlandRyan 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.
