AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — The Wyoming football teams says they will play this weekend in honor of a fallen teammate.

The Cowboys play at No. 5 Texas on Saturday night. Before the game, Ruben Narcisse’s photo will grace the giant stadium scoreboard screen and 98,000 fans will honor him with a moment of silence.

A Wyoming teammate will don his No. 12 jersey and the Texas band will play a tribute song.

Narcisse was killed Monday in a car accident and team captain David Leonard says the Cowboys will play in his honor.
