The Wyoming Cowboys will contend with some MACtion on Saturday when the Toledo Rockets visit Laramie.

Smith threw for 276 yards and two touchdowns, as well, but those interceptions were killers for his team. Robert Herron caught five passes for 173 yards.
The Rockets opened the season with an overtime loss to the Arizona Wildcats, 24-17. Arizona quarterback shredded the Toledo secondary for 387 yards and two touchdowns while Ka'Deem Carey's 147 rushing yards led the team's 237-yard effort on the ground.
