The BYU Cougars decisively overpowered the Wyoming Cowboys with a 34-14 triumph on September 14, 2024, in front of a sellout crowd of 24,513 in Laramie. From the first quarter, the Cougars took command with a 20-yard touchdown pass from QB Jake Retzlaff to WR Keanu Hill. Retzlaff bounced back from a shaky start to finish with 291 passing yards, 62 rushing yards, and three touchdowns, despite being picked off once. Chase Roberts further bolstered the offense with six catches for 129 yards.
BYU amassed 458 yards while stifling Wyoming’s offense, which managed only 217 yards. The Cowboys' lone bright spot was Evan Svoboda, who recorded two rushing touchdowns but struggled overall, completing just 14 of 32 passes for a career-high 140 yards. The game was effectively sealed when Keelan Marion returned the second-half kickoff 102 yards for a touchdown, making it an insurmountable 24-7 lead. BYU's defense and special teams played crucial roles, with kicker Will Ferrin nailing field goals from 49 and 37 yards. As the Cougars move to 3-0, they anticipate a significant Big 12 opener against Kansas State next.
