Saturday's victory marked the final game for Wyoming head coach Craig Bohl, who will be replaced by defensive coordinator Jay Sawvel next season.

The Cowboys trailed 10-6 at halftime after Toledo earned the game's first touchdown following an 80-yard run by Jacquez Stuart with 5:19 remaining in the second quarter.

Despite giving up a safety and a field goal in the second half, the Cowboys rallied in the fourth quarter. They narrowed the deficit after Evan Svoboda punched in a one-yard touchdown run. Wyoming drove down the field from its own 6-yard line to put Hoyland in a position to win the game.

The Cowboys conclude 2023 with a 9-4 record, marking the first time they've posted more than nine wins since joining the Mountain West Conference.

Toledo finishes the year with an 11-3 mark.
