Show to perfection as Ute fans began to wonder if the Wyoming machine knew how to make a mistake. A last-minute passing attack put the Utes on the Cowboy nine-yard line, but a fumble recovery gave Wyoming a well-earned 13-6 victory.Assured of at least a tie for the championship, Wyoming relaxed at Provo with B.Y.U.'s toothless Cougars, while the Utes traveled to New Mexico for their first league encounter with the Lobos in more than a decade.
