Cowboys open football season against Weber State

    The Wyoming Cowboys open the college football season Saturday night at home against Weber State.  It also marks the first college game for freshman Quarterback Brett Smith who raised eyebrows this off season with his improved play.  Wyoming offensive Coordinator Greg Brandon expects Smith to play well.

“He’s a tenacious guy, a great competitor and I think when he makes a mistake, the biggest thing that he has to do is forget about it. Because the next play is more important."

Brandon says they also spent the offseason improving both the passing and running games and he will be interested to see if that will pay off.  Wyoming has won 18 of its last 22 home openers.  Kickoff is at seven.
