LARAMIE, Wyo. -- Josh Allen eluded three would-be tacklers on a wild touchdown scramble from 7 yards out in the third overtime to lift Wyoming to a 40-34 win over Northern Illinois in a game that began nearly two hours late Saturday night due to thunderstorms and ended early Sunday morning.Christian Hagan missed a 38-yard field goal wide left at the start of the third overtime for Northern Illinois (0-1).Brian Hill finished with 125 yards rushing and two touchdowns, including a 5-yarder in the second overtime for Wyoming (1-0). The junior, who was the 8th-leading rusher in the FBS last year, went over 100 yards for the 12th time in his career. Drew Hares 1-yard scoring run for Northern Illinois forced a third overtime.At the start of the first overtime, Hare fumbled the snap on 3rd and goal from the 2 and Wyomings Logan Wilson recovered.Allens 2-yard scoring toss to Jacob Hollister snapped a 20-all tie late in the third quarter, but Hare led the Huskies on a 77-yard drive, converting a fourth-and-10 before hitting wide-open Shane Wimann for a 19-yard touchdown with 1:13 left in the regulation.Wyoming freshman Cooper Rothe missed a 48-yard field goal at the end of regulation and 37-yarder at the end of the first overtime.It was a phenomenal win, Cowboys coach Craig Bohl said. We have steps to go, but were starting to see the stamp of the program we want to have.Allen, a sophomore who took only 13 snaps last season before suffering a broken clavicle, made his second career start. His winning run came on a third-down, play-action bootleg right, but Ladell Fleming forced him back to the left and Allen spun away from Jawuan Johnson and Sean Folliard, then cut straight up and ended a game that lasted four hours and 14 minutes.Coach told me to be smart about it and I probably should have thrown it away, Allen said. I looked back and our guys were there (to block), cut it back and made a guy miss and found a hole and dived in. Felt great.Allen finished 19 of 29 for 245 yards and two touchdowns. Hare was 24 of 39 for 329 yards -- the fourth-best output of his career -- with three touchdowns, and Kenny Golladay had 10 receptions for 144 yards and two TD catches. He also rushed for 82 yards and another score.The game was delayed one hour, 50 minutes by a series of thunderstorms. Kickoff didnt occur until 10:20 p.m. and the contest ended at 2:34 a.m.The late start and three-OT affair was an unusual experience, Golladay said.It was new for me, he said. Im sure just like everybody else, probably. Ive never done that. I dont know who has. It was a fun game. It just didnt come out in our favor.Northern Illinois coach Rod Carey said his team made too many mistakes. The kids played hard, but weve got a lot to correct, he said. I think theres enough blame to go around with all the sloppiness there was. Give Wyoming credit. We knew they were going to be improved, and they were everything we thought they were.Andrew Wingard, who led Wyoming with 12 tackles, twice stopped Golladay at the 2 in the first overtime when it appeared the fleet receiver would score. Mycial Allen led Northern Illinois with 13 stops.THE TAKEAWAYNORTHERN ILLINOIS:Northern Illinois is the winningest team of the Mid-American Conference over the last decade, so last years 8-6, injury-plagued campaign, capped by a fourth-straight bowl game loss, left the team hungry for a strong start to 2016 and return to form. The Huskies struggled against an inspired Cowboys team that was among the worst in the FBS last year, at least statistically. Hare appears to be fully recovered from a torn Achilles tendon that sidelined him for the final five games of last season, but his fumble at the end of the first overtime was costly.WYOMING: The Cowboys won only six games in coach Craig Bohls first two seasons, but this victory was a major step up for the beleaguered program. Bohl has vowed to restore the program the right way which might not be the fastest way, but his team made significant strides in the opener, being competitive throughout the whole game, which didnt occur very often last year. The defense looked much quicker and rose to the occasion at several key points, including shutting out the Huskies in two of the three overtimes and stopped seven of eight drives after giving up two first-quarter touchdowns.UP NEXTNORTHERN ILLINOIS: The Huskies visit South Florida, the fourth meeting between the schools. The Bulls won the last encounter 27-3 in the final International Bowl, played in Toronto following the 2009 campaign to lead the series 2-1.WYOMING: The Cowboys travel to Nebraska, which leads the all-time series 7-0, including a 37-34 win in 2013s season opener in Lincoln. Wyoming racked up 602 yards against the No. 18 Cornhuskers and nearly overcame a late 16-point deficit. Red Auerbach Jersey .

LOS ANGELES -- After months of negotiations and the threat of a purse bid looming Monday, representatives for unified middleweight titleholder Gennady Golovkin and secondary titlist (and mandatory challenger) Daniel Jacobs said Saturday they have made a deal for the fight that will match the top two 160-pounders in the world.The bout is slated for March 18 at Madison Square Garden in New York, and will be televised on HBO PPV, Golovkin said.Later Saturday, Golovkin met with reporters for lunch to discuss the fight.Its big news for me. I am very excited, he said. I think its a very big fight and great fight for you guys to watch. Danny is an amazing fighter. He is a tough opponent and No. 2 in the middleweight division. He is my toughest opponent. Hopefully, I fight three times next year. There are big plans for 2017 (but) right now I am focused on Jacobs and I am here to fight.Although the fight most boxing fans want to see is Golovkin against Mexican superstar Canelo Alvarez -- a bout in the works for September -- both need to win intervening fights, and a Golovkin-Jacobs match is a significant one.Im excited about facing GGG and proving Im the best middleweight in the world, Jacobs said in a statement to ESPN. On March 18 Im bringing all the belts back to Brooklyn with me.K2 Promoter Tom Loeffler, who represents GGG, and Al Haymon, adviser to Jacobs, have beenn working on making this fight since September, when both fighters scored knockout wins one day apart.dddddddddddd In his fourth defense, Jacobs (32-1, 29 KOs) knocked out Sergio Mora in the seventh round of their rematch Sept. 9. Golovkin (36-0, 33 KOs) stopped Kell Brook in the fifth round Sept. 10, to retain his title for the 17th time as he scored his 23rd knockout in a row.But talks moved very slowly and it looked as though the fight might go to a purse bid. Had that happened, Golovkin, a Kazakhstan native based in Santa Monica, California, would have been entitled to 75 percent of the winning bid and Jacobs would have received the remaining 25 percent.Although terms of the March fight were not disclosed, Jacobs certainly will get a much bigger slice of the pie than 25 percent by making a deal, but the fight will stay with HBO, which has Golovkin under exclusive contract.The 34-year-old Golovkin also has deep ties to Madison Square Garden as opposed to Barclays Center in Brooklyn, where Jacobs, 29, is the face of the boxing franchise for the arena in his borough.Golovkin-Jacobs took so long to negotiate that in mid-October the sides gave up a proposed Dec. 10 date for the fight and agreed to try to make the deal for early 2017.
