Wyoming fell behind 28-3 early in the third quarter due to critical mistakes in the first half, making the comeback attempt too difficult despite a strong second-half rally.

Colorado amassed 497 total yards (304 passing, 193 rushing) and led 28-3 early in the third quarter, but allowed Wyoming to rally back. Coach Deion Sanders criticized the team for losing focus with a lead, indicating a need for better game management and closing ability.
Left tackle Jordan Seaton left the game with an apparent limp and was replaced by Kareem Harden in the second half. Defensive tackle Anquin Barnes Jr. was ejected for targeting in the third quarter, which could impact depth and protection for the next game.
