The Cowboys, led by 2016 Mountain West Conference Coach of the Year Craig Bohl, are the defending MW Mountain Division Champions. Several top performers from last year’s Cowboy team return in 2017. Junior quarterback Josh Allen is recognized as one of the elite returning QBs in the nation. The Cowboy defense will be led by dynamic playmakers Andrew Wingard, who was one of 16 national semifinalists for the 2016 Jim Thorpe Award as the nation’s top defensive back, and 2016 freshman All-American linebacker Logan Wilson of Casper, Wyo.
The 2017 schedule will feature a rare, seven-game home schedule, including hosting the Oregon Ducks. Oregon has been one of the most successful programs in the nation over the past decade. In January 2015, Oregon played in the inaugural College Football Playoff National Championship Game, and in January 2011 the Ducks played in the BCS National Championship Game.
