Harris, Holman rushing attack helps Wyoming fight off UNLV in 41-35 win

Samuel Harris ran for 128 yards and scored two touchdowns as Wyoming held off UNLV 41-35 on Saturday night at Las Vegas. The Cowboys trailed 41-21 before UNLV’s late push, scoring twice—once with 22 seconds left in the third quarter and again with 8:32 remaining in the fourth. Wyoming’s defense sealed the finish when reserve quarterback Alex Orji was intercepted by Tyson Shamsid-Deen in the end zone, his second pick of the game. Markell Holman then ran 49 yards after breaking four tackles, reversing direction, to run out the clock. Wyoming improved to 6-3 overall, 5-1 in Mountain West, and travels to face UTEP next Saturday.
