Nevada hangs on to beat Wyoming 13-7 on day Cowboys retire Josh Allen’s number

LARAMIE, Wyo. (AP) — Carter Jones threw an 8-yard touchdown pass to Jeff Carpenter and Joe McFadden kicked two field goals before Nevada stopped Wyoming at the goal line in the final seconds for a 13-7 on a Saturday when the Cowboys .

Allen, the Buffalo Bills quarterback and reigning NFL MVP, was present to see his No. 17 jersey become the first to be retired by Wyoming during a ceremony at halftime. Allen led the Cowboys to two consecutive eight-win seasons (2016-17) and a berth in the Mountain West championship.

Wyoming (4-7, 2-5) began the final drive on its own 18 with 2:22 to go and had a second-and-goal at the 1 with 13 seconds remaining. A pass lost 4 yards before the Cowboys rushed to line for a final play, a pass broken up by Bryson Snelling in the right corner of the end zone.

Kaden Anderson’s 5-yard scoring pass to Evan Svoboda, set up by a fumble recovery at the Nevada 21, late in the third quarter got the Cowboys within three points before McFadden kicked a 43-yard field goal midway through the fourth. McFadden also kicked a 41-yarder in the third.

Jones’ TD pass to Carpenter came with just over a minute left in the first half. Jones passed for 58 yards and rushed for 34. Caleb Ramseur rushed for 88 yards on 19 carries for Nevada (3-8, 2-5).

Anderson was 22-of-39 for 157 yards.
