ESPN RECAP

Chambers late TD, Wyoming pulls out 50-43 win at N. Illinois

DEKALB, Ill. -- , Sean Chambers ran nine yards for the winning touchdown with 1:35 remaining and Wyoming blunted a furious Northern Illinois comeback with a 50-43 win on Saturday. Isaiah Neyor scored three touchdowns, two via passes from Chambers, as the Cowboys (2-0) built a 42-16 lead by late in the third quarter. Wyoming intercepted Northern Illinois' Rocky Lombardi three times, his first picks of the season and most since throwing three against Iowa in November 2020. Two of the three interceptions led to Wyoming touchdowns. But Northern Illinois (1-1) rallied with four straight touchdowns to take a 43-42 lead with just under five minutes left. Lombardi fired a 14-yard strike to Trayvon Rudolph , and freshman Harrison Waylee , who had 179 yards rushing, tore off scoring runs of 75 and 14 yards to come within 42-36 early in the fourth.
