Watch Wyoming Players React to Loss to Nebraska in 6-Man Shootout

Too many miscues hurt Wyoming in its 68-28 loss to Nebraska last Friday night in the 14th annual 6-Man Shootout in Chadron, NE. The Cowboy State held a 22-14 lead with 6:53 left in the first half, but the Cornhusker State scored the next 54 points for their third straight victory in the series.

Wyoming scored first, overcame an early turnover, and even had two goal-line stands in the first half. Unfortunately, Team Wyoming struggled with some of their execution, which led to turning the ball over on downs and a couple of additional turnovers.

Burlington's Joe Bassett scored twice in the game on a TD catch and an interception return for a score. His high school teammate, Rykael Andrew, also hauled in a TD and made some other big plays on both sides of the ball. Dubois' Payson Pluhar had some QB pressures and a few tackles on defense for Wyoming. WyoPreps caught up with the trio after the game last Friday night. They discussed what they thought was the difference in the game, some of the team's missteps, and what they took away from the experience in this all-star football game.
