LARAMIE, Wyo. (AP) — Carter Jones threw an 8-yard touchdown pass to Jeff Carpenter and Joe McFadden kicked two field goals before Nevada stopped Wyoming at the goal line in the final seconds for a 13-7 on a Saturday.

Wolf Pack cornerback Bryson Snelling knocked away two passes over the Cowboys' final two plays, including the final play of the game. A play earlier, on 2nd and goal, Bishop Turner came up huge, dropping Sam Scott for a four-yard loss on a screen pass from the 1-yard line.

The stops punctuated one of Nevada's best defensive efforts of the season. The Wolf Pack also recorded seven tackles-for-loss, led by two from Murvin Kenion III, and held the Cowboys to just 68 rushing yards and 220 yards overall.

The win is Nevada's (3-8, 2-5 MW) second in a row, and gives the Wolf Pack momentum heading into next Saturday's Battle For The Fremont Cannon in Reno against UNLV.

Wyoming (4-7, 2-5 MW) began the final drive on its own 18 with 2:22 to go and had a second-and-goal at the 1 with 13 seconds remaining. A pass lost 4 yards before the Cowboys rushed to line for a final play, a pass broken up by Bryson Snelling in the right corner of the end zone.

Kaden Anderson's 5-yard scoring pass to Evan Svoboda, set up by a fumble recovery at the Nevada 21, late in the third quarter got the Cowboys within three points before McFadden kicked a 43-yard field goal midway through the fourth. McFadden also kicked a 41-yarder in the third.

Carter Jones' TD pass to Carpenter came with just over a minute left in the first half. Jones passed for 58 yards and rushed for 34. Caleb Ramseur rushed for 88 yards on 19 carries for Nevada (3-8, 2-5).
