First quarter blog

The Cowboys came out for warm-ups with a gold top and white pants. It was the first time Wyoming was worn a gold top at the War since Oct. 9, 1990.

Bowling Green won the toss and quickly moved down to inside the Wyoming 10-yard line when quarterback Tyler Sheehan found a wide open Willie Geter down the middle for a 39-yard reception to the UW 6-yard line. Geter, however, stumbled and fell down negating a sure touchdown.

That proved to be costly, as the Cowboys' defense held. On 4th and goal from the 2-yard line, the snap from center got past Sheehan and the Cowboys' John Fletcher recovered on the 17.

It didn't take long, though, for the Falcons to get the score back. On third down, nose tackle Michael Ream stepped in front of a Dax Crum screen pass and ran it back to the 1-yard line, where he was hit and fumbled into the end zone. Bowling Green linebacker Cody Basler recovered near the end of the end zone for the touchdown.

Wyoming head coach Joe Glenn said that the Cowboy quarterback would be on a short leash and he wasn't kidding. Junior Karsten Sween came out on the next possession (three and out) and senior Ian Hetrick and Sween followed on the next two possessions.

The Falcons took a 7-0 lead into the second quarter.
