The Cowboys were coached by fourth-year head coach Craig Bohl and played their home games at War Memorial Stadium.

This was their first year with new defensive coordinator Scottie Hazelton, who was previously an NFL linebackers coach with Jacksonville Jaguars for three seasons and was also Bohl's defensive coordinator for two seasons at North Dakota State.

They were invited to the Famous Idaho Potato Bowl where they defeated Central Michigan.

Wyoming signed 23 high school players and one transfer.
