What happened
ESPN RECAPAllen's 7-yard TD run lifts Wyoming over N. Illinois in 3OT
LARAMIE, Wyo. -- Josh Allen eluded three would-be tacklers on a wild touchdown scramble from 7 yards out in the third overtime to lift Wyoming to a 40-34 win over Northern Illinois in a game that began nearly two hours late Saturday night due to thunderstorms and ended early Sunday morning. Christian Hagan missed a 38-yard field goal wide left at the start of the third overtime for Northern Illinois (0-1). Brian Hill finished with 125 yards rushing and two touchdowns, including a 5-yarder in the second overtime for Wyoming (1-0). The junior, who was the 8th-leading rusher in the FBS last year, went over 100 yards for the 12th time in his career. Drew Hare 's 1-yard scoring run for Northern Illinois forced a third overtime. At the start of the first overtime, Hare fumbled the snap on 3rd and goal from the 2 and Wyoming's Logan Wilson recovered.
