The Wyoming Cowboys played their annual spring game Saturday in Laramie under sunny blue skies inside War Memorial Stadium. The Gold Team won 21-17.
UW Head coach Jay Sawvel acknowledged that the team still has work to do through the summer but said he was “excited” by the positive results on display in front of fans this weekend.
Sawvel also took time to address the state of college football right now and how Wyoming withstood the outside attempts to raid the team for players.
