LAS VEGAS BOWL Wyoming rallies to beat UCLA

The Cowboys scored the winning touchdown with 57 seconds to go.
LAS VEGAS (AP) -- The Wyoming Cowboys simply refused to lose another bowl game.
Corey Bramlet drilled a 12-yard touchdown pass to John Wadkowski with 57 seconds remaining Thursday night to give Wyoming its first bowl win in 38 years, a 24-21 victory over favored UCLA in the Las Vegas Bowl.
"I couldn't be happier for our whole team, and I think it is a shot of spirit for our whole state," second-year Wyoming Joe Glenn said.
After beating Florida State in the 1966 Sun Bowl, the Cowboys lost their next six bowls and hadn't even been invited to one since 1993.
Glenn said a letter from Tom Frazier, a friend of his, helped inspire the Cowboys.
"Since 1966, we hadn't won a bowl game, and the captain of that team [Frazier] wrote our team a great letter," Glenn said. "He said that there's nothing like standing on the field looking at the scoreboard, walking away as a senior and winning a bowl game in your last year.
"Now our guys can do that."
Big numbers for Wyoming QB
Bramlet finished 20-of-34 for 307 yards and two touchdowns. He took the Cowboys 72 yards to the winning score on a drive that began with 4:02 remaining, after UCLA's Justin Medlock missed a 45-yard field goal.
Bramlet kept the final drive alive with a quarterback sneak on a fourth-and-1 at the UCLA 27. A pass interference call against UCLA cornerback Matt Clark moved the ball to the 12, and Bramlet found Wadkowski open across the middle.
"I knew what the coverage was and what they were giving us, and I knew it was there. John was thinking the same thing," Bramlet said.
Jovon Bouknight had five catches for 107 yards and threw a touchdown pass for Wyoming (7-5).
Trailing 21-10, the Cowboys closed within four points on a trick play early in the fourth quarter, with Bouknight throwing a 22-yard scoring pass to J.J. Raterink off a reverse.
Bramlet rallied the Cowboys after UCLA reserve quarterback David Koral threw two touchdown passes to put the Bruins ahead.
Koral, a junior college transfer who hadn't thrown a pass for UCLA, took over when Drew Olson went down with a sprained left knee 4:47 before halftime and the Bruins trailing 10-7.
Koral's second college pass went for a 17-yard touchdown to Craig Bragg with 1:50 left in the half, then he connected on a 25-yarder to Bragg midway though the third quarter to build the lead to 21-10.
Maurice Drew ran for 126 yards on 25 carries for UCLA.
