LARAMIE, Wyo. -- Wyoming defensive tackle Chase Appleby didnt practice all week because he was recovering from a concussion and was dog sick on Thursday. It didnt show two days later.But Appleby highlighted a resurgent Wyoming program when he sacked Brett Rypien and forced a fumble that bounced out of the back of the end zone for a safety with 1:25 left to give the Cowboys a 30-28 upset victory over No. 13 Boise State on Saturday night.I tried to put a good hit on him, and I saw the ball fly out, Appleby said. I wanted to recover it for another score but well take the safety.It was Wyomings first win over the Broncos in 11 games between the two teams and its first victory over a Top 25 team since beating No. 22 Air Force in 2002. Thousands of fans swarmed the field and the Cowboys players as the final seconds ticked off.Josh Allen completed 18 of 31 passes for 274 yards and three touchdowns, and Brian Hill ran for 146 yards for the Cowboys (6-2, 4-0 Mountain West).Rypien completed 22 of 35 passes for 295 yards, and caught a 33-yard TD pass on a trick play for Boise State (7-1, 3-1). Jeremey McNichols ran for 143 yards and two TDs, and Jake Hollister caught six passes for 144 yards and two touchdowns.The game featured two of the top running backs in the nation in Hill, who entered the weekend second in rushing, and McNichols, who was No. 6. Wyoming outgained Boise State 489 yards to 487.Wyoming, which trailed 21-7 in the first half, tied it on a 27-yard TD pass from Allen to Tanner Gentry , followed by a 2-point conversion on a pass from Allen to Jake Maulhardt with 6:42 left in the fourth quarter.The teams traded possessions with Boise State getting the ball at its own 10-yard line with 1:38 remaining.After an incomplete pass, Rypien was sacked by Appleby near the goal line and the bounced through the back of the end zone.We trust Brett, and they made a play, Boise State coach Bryan Harsin said. Hes trying to get the ball out. This is football, this is every week football and sometimes that ball bounces funny and it came out and they got the safety at a critical time in the game.THE TAKEAWAYBoise State: Saw its hopes of cracking the Top 10 and eventually earning a spot in the College Football Playoff dashed. The Broncos likely needed an unblemished record to do that.Wyoming: The win shows its a program on the upswing. The team is stocked with youth and is vastly improved under the direction of coach Craig Bohl after finishing last season 2-10.Theres wins that you look back on that help define a program -- this is one of them, Bohl, who brought his brand of more traditional type football to Laramie, said.Entering Saturdays game, Boise State had beaten Wyoming in five previous contests between the two teams at Laramie by an average of 30.8 points.Harsin credited Bohl for Wyomings improvement.They got some mojo going on out there, he said.POLL IMPLICATIONSBoise State will likely fall in the poll . The question is how far. Wyoming might get consideration from a few poll voters, but it certainly will draw more attention the rest of this season and next year.TURNOVER WOES: Entering the game, Harsin lamented the 11 turnovers the Broncos had committed this season against only three takeaways by his team. Things didnt improve against Wyoming, as Boise State turned the ball over twice on an interception thrown by Rypien and a fumble by McNichols. The Broncos fumbled two more times but retained possession. Meantime, the Broncos defense intercepted Allen once for one turnover.WYOMING TIGHT END: Bohl said he wanted to make better use of Hollister at tight end. Entering the game, Hollister had just 10 catches for 112 yards on the season. He certainly was a weapon today, Bohl said.UP NEXTBoise State: The Broncos return home for a game against San Jose State this Friday night. It is the second of three Friday night contests for Boise State this season. The Broncos are 27-7 in Friday night games.Wyoming: The Cowboys host Utah State next Saturday. Utah State is last in the conferences Mountain Division.---More AP college football: www.collegefootball.ap.orgZaDarius Smith Super Bowl Jersey . -- The Bishops Gaiters are showing they belong among the countrys top varsity football teams.

That, along with his 32 points -- which tied a career high -- proved too much for Denver to overcome, and the Pelicans held on for their third straight victory, 111-107 on Sunday night.

GREEN BAY, Wis. -- The Green Bay Packers, and their revamped offensive line, didnt waste time in looking ahead to Sunday nights matchup at Minnesota.About 35 seconds ago, center J.C. Tretter said on Monday afternoon, about 24 hours after the Packers held off the Jacksonville Jaguars 27-23 for a season-opening victory.Thats when we left the meeting room. Were done with Jacksonville. Now, were on to Minnesota.The Vikings will provide a formidable test for Green Bays offensive line, which had to deal with the release of guard Josh Sitton on Sept. 3.Minnesotas defense dominated Tennessee in its opening game, holding the Titans to 64 rushing yards.While the Vikings allowed 16 points, linebacker Eric Kendricks (interception) and defensive end Danielle Hunter (fumble) provided touchdowns in a nine-point road victory.Sittons replacement, left guard Lane Taylor, fared well in his third career start.On a tone-setting fourth-and-1 on the opening series, he and left tackle David Bakhtiari delivered the key blocks on Eddie Lacys 9-yard run that set up the opening touchdown.I was ready for it, said Taylor, who started at left guard in last seasons Week 17 home loss to Minnesota, which ended the Packers five-year reign atop the NFC North. Ive played before and I know what its like. I was ready to go.On Sunday, Taylor squared off frequently against the Jaguars prized offseason signing, defensive tackle Malik Jackson. Taylor was up to the task. While he allowed a couple of presssures, he played a key role in Green Bay allowing one sack.ddddddddddddIt was great, Rodgers said of the protection after the game. I think I screwed them on that one (sack). The last thing you want to do is take a 0-yard run because that counts as a sack. I thought the protection was very good and I thought Lane played really well. Im happy.The line as a whole played great. (The pass rush) seemed to be high and wide on the outside and the middle (of the pocket) was very firm. Thats just how you like it.Minnesotas defense might not be the only challenge for Green Bay.Cornerback Sam Shields suffered a concussion during the fourth quarter on Sunday. Shields also suffered a concussion late last season, which kept him out of the final three regular-season games and the playoff win at Washington.Anytime any of our players is in the protocol and dealing with a concussion, its a concern, coach Mike McCarthy said on Monday.Thats why well evaluate Sam each and every day to make sure hes healthy and goes through the challenges of what hes dealing with. Its a protocol. I think they do a great job, particularly our doctors, of taking it one step at a time. We definitely are aware of his history and that will factor in on how we move forward.---Online:AP NFL website: http://www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: http://www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
