Cougars, who might better be end, Dan Bowers and Mike nicknamed the Chameleons, Pistorious. trouncing the Wyoming Cowboys 95-17 Saturday afternoon in wind blown Wyoming before 15,538 dejected fifans. It wasthefirsttime in 30 years that a BYU team has been able to defeat a Wyoming team in Laramie. The last BYU victory in Laramie was a 23-7 triumph way backin 1941, long before the BYU players were born. There was no question about the triumph. It was thorough and complete, and left Wyoming Coach Fritz Shurmur with nothing but praise for the Cougar attack which ground out more rushing offense than in the past four games combined. The Cougar offense certainly changed colors from last week when it was held to a mere 31 yards rushing against Utah State when the Cougarslost 29-7. Against Wyoming the Cougars rushed for 393 and had 453 yards in total offense, both high marks for the year. Incredibly Unpredictable BYU has been incredibly unpredicatble. They started the year picked in thecellar of the WAC and won two astounding victories which almost changed everyone's opinion. Then fellowed three straight defeats that made most observers their first opinion was right. Now with this 35-17 whipping over Wyoming, the Cougars are 33 on the season, 2-1 in WAC play, and observers are still perplexed. When asked what was the diference in BYU's fine pezformance <his week compared to past weeks, Coach Tom Hudspeth said, ‘It was mental attitude. The kids have been dedicated in practice all week. They came over here to bruise some bodies and they did.” Theoft-criticized BYU offense was superbin the victory over ihe Cowboys and there were plenty of offensive heroes. Steve Stratton, who was Dave Terry started at quar- terback and called most of the offensive plays himself, doing a commendable job in keeping the scored morepoints in 16 minutes than they had in last three games combined. Wyoming quickly ‘struck back with Gary Fox throwing a 64 yard touchdown pass to Sxott Freeman winot deep behind the BYU secondaryto make the score 21-10. Cougar offense rolling. Tt was a game void of speetabular flashes by Golden Richards but he was used as a running back for the first time this year and on the first series of downs gained a first down in two plays.
