A series of missed opportunities caused to Wyoming fall to 1-and-2 in conference play.
Wyoming running backs Terron Kellman and Samuel “Tote” Harris led the offense, each rushing for 83 yards. Wide receiver Jaylen Sargent added a season-high five catches for 65 yards. Quarterback Kaden Anderson was 23-of-29 passing for 211 yards with a touchdown and interception.
The game came apart in the fourth quarter when the game was tied at 14-a piece. The Cowboys drove deep into Air Force territory and were threatening to score from the three-yard line. Quarterback Anderson threw a pick in the end zone.
The Falcons drove the ball back for a touchdown to make it a 21-14 game and held onto the lead for the win. The Falcons improve to 1-and-4 in Mountain West play with the win. Wyoming falls to 1-and-2.
