AKRON, Ohio — Wyoming kicked off its 2025 season with a milestone victory, shutting out Akron 10-0 on Thursday night at InfoCision Stadium. It marked the Cowboys’ first shutout in a season opener since 1977 and their first shutout of any kind since a 27-0 win over Gardner-Webb in 2017.

The Cowboys were led by wide receiver Chris Durr Jr., who hauled in eight passes for a career-high 190 yards and a touchdown. It was Wyoming’s most prolific receiving performance in more than a decade, dating back to Chris McNeil’s 219-yard effort against Idaho in 2012. Running back Sam Scott powered the ground game with a career-best 132 rushing yards on 29 carries, while quarterback Kaden Anderson added 260 passing yards on 19 completions with a touchdown.
