LARAMIE — Brogan Roback passed for 330 yards and three touchdowns and Shaq Vann rushed for 129 yards and two scores to help Eastern Michigan beat Wyoming 48-29 on Saturday.

It was the Eagles’ first nonconference road win against what now is an FBS team since 1988.

After punting on its first possession, Eastern Michigan (1-1) scored on six straight drives to go up 38-7.

Brian Hill had touchdown runs of 65 and 5 yards for Wyoming, which rushed for 430 yards. Hill finished with 242 yards rushing, fourth-most in school history. His 281 yards last season against Fresno State are second-best all time.

Vann scored on runs of 15 and 74 yards, and Darius Jackson had a 17-yard touchdown reception and a 2-yard scoring run.

Dylan Mulder’s 39-yard field goal gave Eastern Michigan a 31-point lead with 3:46 left in the half.

Roback, who was 17-of-24 passing with no interceptions, threw a 64-yard strike to Eddie Daugherty to make it 45-22 early in the third quarter, while Mulder added a 41-yard field goal late in the game. Roback started in place of Reginald Bell, who suffered a jaw injury in the opener.

Wyoming (0-2) was forced to go with its No. 3 quarterback, Nick Smith, after Josh Allen exited with an apparent shoulder injury midway through the first quarter. Allen started in place of Cameron Coffman, who suffered a knee injury in the previous weekend’s opener, a loss to North Dakota.
