The Wyoming Cowboys brought college football fans of all kinds to their feet on Saturday afternoon. The Cowboys hit a razzle-dazzle play to score a touchdown that had the college sports world talking.
Wyoming wide receiver Jaylen Sargent found himself wide open after the Cowboys hit a flea-flicker. Sargent caught the ball and could have walked into the end zone after the spectacular trick play.
“Trickery from the Cowboys!” the CBS Sports College Football account posted on X.

Clearly, the Cowboys were feeling themselves, because it wasn’t the only tricky play they pulled off. Wyoming also hit a fake punt later in the game.
IT’S A FAKE https://t.co/c9MGbgoUsj
