Wyoming has put together a solid start to the season – 2-0 overall.
Now, it hasn’t always been pretty for the Cowboys. They went on the road and earned a 10-0 shutout victory over Akron in their season opener. Then they played FCS Northern Iowa at home and won 31-7.
But that’s still two wins for Wyoming, which went 3-9 overall last year in Jay Sawvel’s first season as head coach. But now Wyoming will have what could be its toughest game of the season.
The Cowboys are at home again, this time against Utah, which is ranked 20th out of FBS teams.

Utah vs. Wyoming Prediction
I predict Utah will win and cover the 23.5-point spread. I also project the game will go Over 46.5 total points.
Wyoming is 2-0, which is exactly what the Cowboys were hoping for at this point. But that was against Akron, expected to be one of the worst teams in the MAC, and an FCS team. This Utah squad that Wyoming is going to play is much different.
Devon Dampier, who played for New Mexico last season, is now leading Utah. And the dual-threat quarterback ran for 207 yards and three touchdowns while passing for 164 yards, one touchdown, and one interception against Wyoming last year. Through two games this year, he’s thrown for 398 yards, five touchdowns, and no interceptions while rushing for 112 yards and one score.
I don’t know if Wyoming’s offense is going to be capable of keeping up with Utah’s. Ultimately, I expect the Utes will score early and often and will win by four touchdowns.
