Wyoming’s head coach Jay Sawvel received a public reprimand from the Mountain West Conference for his colorful language directed at officials during a recent postgame press conference. Sawvel expressed his frustration with a pass interference call on safety Wyett Ekeler, leading to an unsportsmanlike conduct penalty against him. This penalty ultimately benefitted Utah State in their game against Wyoming, resulting in a 27-25 loss for the Cowboys.
In addition to the controversy surrounding Sawvel’s comments and the officiating, key players on the Wyoming team are facing injuries, affecting their upcoming games. TK King is in concussion protocol after a hit during the Utah State game, while wide receiver Alex Brown has suffered a broken leg, ending his college career. The team is also facing challenges with other injuries, including edge rusher Braden Siders.
Despite the setbacks, Sawvel remains optimistic about the team’s performance and attitude, noting that they have lost close games by just a few points. He also addressed player decisions, such as quarterback changes and the debut of running back Harrison Waylee.
Looking ahead, Wyoming is set to face New Mexico in their next game. With a current record of 1-7, the team is focused on making improvements and overcoming challenges to secure victories in future games.
