In the last game of the COVID-19-shortened season in 2020, the Wyoming Wolves beat the Holland Dutch 34-26.

Since that night in October 2020, the Wolves have won only one game. 

Nearly two years later, on a rain-filled and chilly homecoming night, the Wolves again emerged victorious against the Holland Dutch 34-13 on Friday night. 

Two plays into the opening drive, the Wolves lost junior quarterback Jay Johnson to an injury. 


Wyoming running back Adrian Moore filled in for injured QB Jay Johnson early in the game.

As Johnson was helped off the field, he had a moment of embrace with junior quarterback Adrian Moore, who would take over at quarterback for the Wolves. 

Moore would get Wyoming on the board first, scoring on a QB keeper from seven yards out early in the first quarter.

After a long punt by Holland’s Dylan Floes, the Wolves’ senior running back Donavyn Edwards took the first play 64 yards down the sideline to put Wyoming up 13-0.

The second quarter saw two long drives by the home team end in turnovers. 



Mauricio Hernandez-Keys helped the defensive effort with an interception in the end zone late in the second quarter.

Wyoming led 13-0 at halftime 

Junior running back Jack TerVeen came into Week 8 averaging 125 rushing yards over the last four games. 

TerVeen had wide-open running lanes all night long on his way to another 100-yard game and punched the ball past the goal line three times. 

Wyoming (1-7) ends the 2023 season at home next Friday hosting the Muskegon Big Reds (6-2).
