LARAMIE — Wyoming’s defense frustrated No. 20 Utah through much of the first half, but the Utes’ balanced attack proved too much in a 31-6 loss for the Cowboys on Saturday night at War Memorial Stadium.

The game marked the first meeting between the longtime rivals since 2010 and the 84th overall in the series.

“Give credit to Utah,” Wyoming head coach Jay Sawvel said. “They have a good football team, and they outplayed us tonight. The markings and the windows we had to win that game; we didn’t achieve a lot of those. I thought our effort was tremendous. I thought we played very hard. But there’s a lot of things from an execution standpoint that we need to improve on. I think we have a chance to be pretty good, but we have a lot of things we need to get better at.”
