Josh Allen's Jersey No. 17 Retired at Wyoming

Wyoming honored Josh Allen, the reigning NFL MVP, by retiring his jersey, marking the first such ceremony in school history.

  • On Saturday, Wyoming retired Josh Allen's No. 17 jersey at halftime, making him the first Wyoming football player to receive the honor, with Allen attending as Buffalo Bills quarterback and reigning NFL MVP.
  • Allen's college record included leading the Wyoming Cowboys to consecutive eight-win seasons during the 2016-17 seasons and a Mountain West championship berth.
  • The deciding sequence saw Wyoming begin its final drive on its own 18 with 2:22 left and reach second-and-goal at the 1 with 13 seconds remaining, while Carter Jones passed for 58 yards and rushed for 34.
  • The sold-out crowd at War Memorial Stadium focused on Allen's return, as former coach Craig Bohl said he was emotional about the impact, and Allen posed with his parents despite Wyoming's 13-7 loss.
  • Allen engaged with the Wyoming football team on Friday, attended the halftime highlight video and middle-deck unveiling, and joked, `It will always suck to be a CSU Ram.` during his Saturday speech.
