Joe Wahlgren, a three-year letterwinner at offensive tackle, has his place in UW history. Wahlgren's 1990 team set a Wyoming single-game scoring record in a game against Arkansas State, when UW went 6-for-6 on field goals, accounting for 18 of 34 total points. He came to UW by way of Brady, Neb., and he and the 1990 Cowboys went 9-4, beginning the season with nine straight victories. That team earned a berth in the Copper Bowl, narrowly losing to California. Over the next two seasons, Wahlgren and the Pokes earned hard-fought victories over rival Colorado State.
