UH faced a setback early in their game against Wyoming when their dime linebacker, Jamih Otis, suffered a rib fracture in the first defensive series. Co-captain Otis had made four tackles in Wyoming's opening drive, but he appeared to be in discomfort and eventually had to be checked by the trainers. Otis missed the remainder of the game, which ultimately ended in a 27-10 loss for UH at War Memorial Stadium.
