Wyoming Football Coach Receives Unexpected Call After Loss

In the wake of a disappointing 24-10 defeat to Colorado State on Friday night, Wyoming‘s head football coach, Jay Sawvel, found solace in an unexpected phone call from a prominent figure. Sawvel revealed during a news conference that former Wyoming head coach Craig Bohl reached out to him post-game with words of wisdom and encouragement.

While Sawvel did not disclose the full content of the conversation, he noted that it was invaluable advice from someone who had previously walked in his shoes. «Sometimes you just have to shut up and listen,» Sawvel remarked about the private discussion.

The loss marked a challenging moment for the Cowboys, which has not deterred Sawvel from looking ahead. This week, the Cowboys are scheduled to play Boise State, a team known for its strong national reputation and postseason aspirations. The game holds particular significance for Wyoming’s seniors, who face the end of their college football careers without any prospects for a bowl game placement this season.

Fans are reminded of a similarly tense encounter with Boise State in the past, when a crucial turnover gave Wyoming a fleeting hope for victory. However, an interception by quarterback Jayden Clemmons dashed those hopes, leading to a narrow loss. The upcoming game is anticipated to renew this dramatic rivalry as the teams meet again at War Memorial Stadium. The match will be broadcasted live by Bigfoot 99, with kickoff scheduled for 5 p.m.
